It is a beauty story for those who dare to embellish all the glamour that is red. Red, rouge or rosa. No matter what the language, the colour red has always been associated with power, passion, seduction, and confidence. The richness of red can be a defining moment in beauty – if you dare.
I always think of the 1950s where red personified the glamour of iconic Hollywood film stars – Grace Kelly, Marilyn Munroe, Doris Day, Jane Russell, Kim Novak, Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor come to mind. Red lipstick became the trademark of this period of beauty for all women. A must-have accessory which added instant polish and personality to any look. Women then were not scared to embrace the power of red during a period of great social change post the Second World War. During a survey of this period 98% of American women claimed to have worn a red lipstick.
A little of that glamour has returned to beauty that embraces the romance of rich red – where lips once again take centre stage. It is the fashion of beautiful lips that is as nourishing to your lips as it is safe. Discover the colour beauty that is Madame Gabriela.

AWAYS WITH A KISS
Beauty Life Moments covets the beauty of Madame Gabriela. It is a story about the romance of lip colour where red takes on the world. I became inspired by the story and by the founder who is a pioneer in clean high performing lipstick colour.
Gabriela Navejas, the co-founder of Madame Gabriela Beauty, grew up watching her Abuela, Esther, apply beautiful shades to complete her look. Seeing a gap in the market Gabriela set about to create an opulent clean beauty lipstick. A visit to Herboristerie de la Place Clichy in Paris would unfold into a two year worldwide search. The result? Discovering the beauty of Manuka Honey and ingredients that are now at the heart of the brand.
A Mexico City native Gabriela truly believes that a lipstick is magical. And that a lipstick can have a profound effect to make you feel good. And I could not agree more.
‘Latin heritage to me is all about a passion — and from your Abuela’s birthday to a first date to Sunday mornings in bed, moments of life that are worth remembering never start with a handshake, but always with a kiss. Lipstick is the ingredient of life. Beauty for me is feeling comfortable in your own skin, owning your strengths and your weaknesses. There is a kind of beauty that radiates from women who know themselves beautiful regardless of how they look.’

TIPS FOR PARIS LIPS
Select your shade: Choose the right shade for your skin tone: Red lipstick comes in a variety of shades, so it is crucial to find one that complements your skin tone. Fair skin often pairs beautifully with blue-based reds like our Paris at 7PM.
Prep your lips: To ensure a smooth and flawless application, it is essential to prep your lips beforehand. Begin by gently exfoliating your lips to remove any dry or flaky skin. Follow up with our Saint-Tropez at 11AM hydrating lip balm or a lip primer to create a smooth canvas. This step will help your lipstick glide on effortlessly and prevent it from settling into fine lines.
Blot and reapply: To make your lipstick last longer, blot your lips gently with a tissue after the first application. This helps to remove excess product and sets the colour. Then, reapply another layer of lipstick for added intensity and longevity.
Remember to start with thin layers and build up the colour gradually to achieve a natural-looking finish. Additionally, if you want to prevent the lipstick from bleeding or feathering, you can use a clear lip liner to outline your lips before applying Paris at 7PM.
