The Kjaer Weis Lipsticks
“When men believe they’ve got a lighter in their hands, it’s probably Kjaer Weis.”
When men believe they’ve got a lighter in their hands; when it looks as though James Bond could vanquish a supervillain with it; when you just can’t bare to even use it because it looks like it should be under glass at the MOMA, then it’s probably a Kjaer Weis.
In focus this time – the lipsticks. Highly pigmented, they leave a touchably velvet soft feeling on the lips, while intensively caring for the skin with nourishing ingredients like Shea Butter, Jojoba and Rosehip Oil. This is product perfection, the kind that could almost lead you to believe its creator was an eccentric perfectionist: that is, if she (a Danish expat now living in New York) wasn’t so unbelievably chilled. Kirsten Kjaer Weis has a personal message for the future wearer of every shade available, and Powder Paper has a few tips for you guys as well!
Bea wars Empower
Kirsten Kjaer Weis says: “Don’t shy away from a bright lip! This pink is truly flattering on everyone; I love it with a pretty golden eye.”
Powder Paper reckons: don’t fear the pink! Don’t fear a pair of luscious thick eyebrows and a swipe of mascara. Don’t fear compliments.
Jeanie wears Adore
Kirsten says: “I like to think of this color as a ‘Hollywood’ red. It’s the lipstick stars like Rita Hayworth would’ve never imagined leaving the house without.”
Powder Paper reckons: Hollywood must be in France, ‘cos Adore is the type of red you’ll find in every Parisian bathroom. A timeless and feminine shade that suits every woman and wants to be there when there’s a good story waiting around the corner.
Paula wears Love
Kirsten says: “When I’m working on editorial shoots, this is a favorite color when I’m going for maximum impact.”
Powder Paper reckons: vibrant coral tone seeks tanned summer skin for walks together on the beach, margaritas at the hotel bar and wild beach side parties.
Bea wears Honor
Kirsten says: “The coy innocence of 60’s starlets like Brigitte Bardot and Jean Seberg inspired this color. It’s also the nude I personally wear.”
Powder Paper reckons: coy innocence, which you may find yourself wearing once again as you open up your credit card bill.
Jeanie wears Believe
Kirsten says: “This plum color is incredibly versatile. Wear it everyday to elevate a bare face; pair it with a smoldering dark eye in the evenings.”
Powder Paper reckons: staying true to Aniko Legner’s beauty wisdom “For me, everything is a multistick”, Believe also works wonderfully as a creme eyeshadow, instantly giving the eyes some je-ne-sais-quoi.
Paula trägt KW Red
Kirsten says: “This is a stand-out red that will never go out of style. It’s as classic as a red sports car.”
Powder Paper reckons: behind the wheel of that sportscar sits Snow White, who gave up her career at Disney to become a full time muse for this perfectly bluish shade of red. Lightly dabbed on, this is a perfect everyday colour that everyone will be asking about.
Miriam wears Brilliant
Kirsten says: “Try this beautiful nude lipstick as a counter to a soft, grey smokey eye.”
Powder Paper reckons: Click!
Hanny wears Affection
Kirsten says: “While the coverage is opaque, the pale red color is inspired by the natural flush of a bare lip. So you look like yourself, but with the volume turned up.”
Powder Paper reckons: nothing to add. The perfect my-lips-but-better red. High-Five Kirsten! Here’s another fresh look with this colour.
