Colour. Shine. Wear: Vernis à Lèvres combines the texture and shine of a gloss

Travellers were encouraged to shoot personalised Vernis à Lèvres music videos using L’Oréal Travel Retail Asia’s first digitalised video booth.

Vernis à Lèvres is said to offer an “innovative lip product” by combining the texture and shine of a lip gloss with the long-wear of a stain. The applicator’s slanted tip and short soft bristles allow for easy, precise application, stated L’Oréal.
