There are few things sexier than the flash of red that comes from the underbelly of a Christian Louboutin sole. Aaron de Mey, Lancôme’s new artistic director for makeup, has brought that perfect shade from Louboutin’s mind to our lips. Coming in November, this limited edition color (they are only making 500 of them), which is part of a set, will be available exclusively at the Bloomingdale’s 59th Street location, lancome-usa.com and the five Lancôme boutiques.

The waiting list at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street has just opened. You can call 212-705-2886 to add your name to the list.

Along with this pucker perfect Piha Red, comes the Piha Black gloss. Black lips are prominent on the runways for Fall by such designers as YSL, and are showing up in ads and make up lines all over the place. Not an easy look to pull off every day, of course. But this gloss is said to have the perfect amount of pigment. In the image above, they have layered the Piha Black gloss over the Piha Red pigment, and it seems just vampy enough for a weekend out on the town.
