There might not be anything revolutionary about red lipstick, but Helmut Newton’s images of strong, erotic, no-nonsense (though often pictured in the most trying of circumstances) women are still shocking to this day. His impact on the fashion world is undeniable, but only now is the late, great Helmut serving as direct inspiration for beauty.
House of Exposure teamed up with ultimate lipstick guru, Poppy King (of Lipstick Queen) to create an homage to the photographer as powerfully glam as the bombshells in his visions. The blue base ensures it’s a shade flattering on all skin tones, and the hint of sheen keeps it from looking cakey or forced. And perhaps most enticing of all, there’s the packaging: the box is designed to look like that of vintage Kodak film, so you’ve got old-school appeal all the way. A perfect gift for the fashion photography-lover who could use some pow in her pout.
At House of Exposure for $25.
