Aaron de Mey Paints Lips Black & Red at Lancôme

Aaron de Mey is the new makeup artistic director at Lancôme and while his first full color collection will have to await 2009 to see the light of day, makeup aficionados will be able to procure a very interesting set of colors for lips from September 2008.

The minimalist set comprises a red lipstick called "Phida Red" together with a black lip gloss...
This will thus be Aaron de Mey's first dramatic statement for the brand and if the beginnings signal anything, his tenure at Lancôme should be fun, interesting, and creative.

The black-and-red set will be available at the Lancôme Institute, the Bon Marché, and Printemps Haussmann in Paris.
