Cool Lipstick Packaging is Hot
Lipstick packaging has always been important to women. No matter how shallow it seems there is just something to having a glamorous shiny designer tube of lipstick in your pocket or purse.
One of the best lipstick tubes is made by Candyfuture. This company has sixties style pink plastic with fluorescent holographic images of dancing unicorns on it. The company also makes very bizarre lipstick colors including a very pink fluorescent color, a dark grey black and a glistening lilac color. Trust us, they don’t make these colors in nature.
Yet another spectacular example of design that is less little girlish in nature than Candyfuture’s whimsical bullet shapes is Gurlain Rouge G lipstock. If a girl was James Bond this is the lipstick application weapon she would have on her. The lipstick case looks like a cross between a switchblade and a lighter. It is a very sleek and smooth silver with Geurlain engraved on it. Even cooler the top of the lipstick splits in half to reveal a mirror so you can apply it. It is not just a lipstick applicator! It is a very cool gadget!
Of course you can’t go wrong with the classy Chanel Allure Lipsticks. These are square cases with square bottoms. The upper casing is black and the rest of the spiraling chassis is a pure classy gold.
Very very classy and sought after these days are the designer lipstick cases made by Bésame. These are made of gorgeous, richly pigmented colors—like noir red and peacock blue—and are reproduced from the old silver screen and are housed in gold lacquer packaging embossed with chrysanthemum detailing. The lipstick case is very short and slim and almost the size of a sample. They are not much bigger than a woman’s pinky which makes them very feminine and very delicate looking.
Avon’s Mark line of cosmetics is pitched at teens on the go, the kinds of girls who are more interested in sharing makeup among friends than acquiring an arsenal of cosmetics at home. To that end, New York designer Jerome Berard shrunk the tube itself into a miniature, pocket-friendly size by incorporating the rotating mechanism into the base. The result is the smallest case on the market containing a full bullet of gloss, with rounded corners that make the case easy to slip in and out of denim pockets.
If you like really slim cases for lipsticks then both Clinique and The Body Shape makes this style. The lipstick case design is about one third thinner and very elegant. Both companies make this spiraling case in silver and they look like designer lipsticks but at a much more affordable price.
