Known industry-wide for their innovative and creative approach to beauty, Ciate London lit up the House of Commons with a 25m wide projection of a lipstick-wearing smiley, to remind the world of the importance of a smile, more now than ever. The projection comes after research commissioned by the beauty brand, discovered that lipstick and mascara are two of the biggest confidence boosters, with red lippie being revealed as the ultimate mood-bosting, confidence-lifting shade, followed by nude and light pink.
A staple in makeup bags globally, the research found that one in every six people asked couldn’t even imagine leaving the house without lipstick. Ciate London collaborated with lifestyle brand SmileyWorld, to produce a collection that brings a much needed dose of positivity, self-expression and mood-boosting ingredients that empower confidence and self-expression.
There is no better accessory than a smile. Intensely pigmented and infused with mood boosting poppy and energising cacao extract, the Smile On Lipstick (£18) leaves the lips with a satin soft, demi-shine and injection of rich colour. Available in two ultra-wearable shades: Be Kind (nude) and Be Proud (red), the lipstick leaves your lips looking full, nourished and feeling fabulous.
