      <p><span>Although we may not always be aware of it, our identities are constantly on display, ready to be perceived by those around us. Matter of fact, just a night out with your girlfriends can speak volumes about the kind of person you are and how you differ from those closest to you. </span></p>
      <p><span>The very act of women reapplying their lipstick at the table after a meal may not seem substantial in the broad sense, but each specially-chosen shade can reveal so much about a person &mdash; bold for louder personalities, red for those who favour timelessness, and muted tints for those who simply want a hint of colour for the day. </span></p>
      <p><span>Here, we explore the use of lipstick as a mode of self-expression, showcasing shades from houses like Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Guerlain, and Bobbi Brown. </span></p>

After all, this is the Maison that revolutionised the beauty industry, with Aimé Guerlain&rsquo;s creation of the &ldquo;Ne m'oubliez pas&rdquo;, the world&rsquo;s first lipstick in a tube, in 1870. Now, the French red lip is more popular than ever before, with many houses having followed in Guerlain&rsquo;s footsteps with their own renditions of that classic red shade we love. If you&rsquo;re one for timelessness in beauty and style, this is the lipstick for you.</span></p>
