Lipstick gave way to lipgloss a few years ago as it was deemed to make one look older. I never really got on with the gloss, especially as it has the habit of finding its way into the creases of my lips, which wasn’t exactly attractive.

So I’m delighted that make up director, Peter Phillips, has edited the original recipe for Chanel lipsticks and Chanel Rouge Coco is the wonderful result. It delivers hydration, pigment and silkiness and is as far removed from a conventional lipstick as you can get. It melts on the mouth.

There are 37 shades, so something for everyone. Go try. Price £21.
