Dior Does the Blues
Rouge Dior in Visionary Matte = Dark blue shade with a matte yet hydrating finish
FOR lips THAT resemble that of a corpse
Lipstick. I don’t normally stray from the traditional reds, pinks, and nudes. In my decades of cosmetics research, I have concluded that coloring any part of the face with unconventional hues requires finesse and quality formulations. I mean, who wants to be mistaken for wearing a 25th hour Halloween costume in December?
Rouge Dior Visionary Matte (602) is a blue. Uhm, for your lips. But Dior does this odd color right.
The matte isn’t drying. A slight hydration to the lips is partially due to the addition of C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters, which make skin soft and smooth. Candellila Wax helps the lipstick glide on instead of catching on certain areas of the lip causing that start-stop look. A lot of emollients are added to keep lips from drying out, but they also allow the lips to get a plumped up hydrated effect. This is dope because a lot of matte lip products can dry out lips and leave them looking pretty thin. Hello 90’s brick matte over-lined lip.
Heads Up:
Do a test if you are particularly sensitive. There are a couple of skin and eye irritants here- octyldodecanol,polyethylene, citral, benzyl benzoate.
Don’t wear this without a lip primer or when you plan to eat. The wear off is not attractive. Your lips will resemble that of a corpse.
Don’t wear it to a job interview unless you are in the music, fashion, or art industries.
Aging is negotiable. It really is about saving yourself from the old uglies with the inner beauty approach. And a few laser-type gadgets
My vanity groans under the weight of tube after tube from Tom Ford, Chanel and Hermès. Lately, I’ve been wondering whether that moment of uncapping could be more than ritual. That it might tip us toward harmony, too. Hello Ayurveda and a touch of lip science. What if choosing your texture were a way to align your dosha?
In a world where TikTok trends clash with scientific evidence, the sun protection debate unfolds provocatively and alarmingly. ‘We’re not sure if these chemicals are bad for you, so we are saying they are okay for you. For now’.
Our relationship with the Sun remains as enigmatic as ever. It showers us with Vitamin D-producing rays, that essential nutrient for our bones and mood, yet it also harbors the risks of skin aging and cancer. In this age of Instagram-worthy aesthetics and wellness trends, conflicting messages abound. It’s a fight between science and TikTok.
Glamour meets environmental stewardship as beauty brands pioneer a new era of sustainable luxury. Across glossy counters and digital screens alike, an innovative movement is unfurling: beauty that not only inspires but also nurtures the planet’s most vulnerable inhabitants.
In the quest for optimal hydration we often juggle plain water and coconut water. When gut inflammation or intense sweat sessions threaten fluid balance, trendy magnetized water and “all-in-one” blends join the debate. But, forget Simon, what does Science Say?
In our pursuit of radiant skin, many of us unknowingly contribute to the decline of timeless marine sentinels. Sea turtles! Their ancient grace now hangs in the balance.
Skin radiance is molecular resilience, shaped by antioxidants, circulation, and metabolic balance. There is one thing that still eludes all. It is a phenomenon found in nearly 90% of women and has yet to be cured. That thing that puts the thunderstorms in short-shorts Summers. Cellulite. We tested a superoxide dismutase supplement to see if it reduced visible fat.
Aging is inevitable. But how you age? That’s strategy. Whether it’s NAD supplements, anti-inflammatory skincare, or simply understanding that what happens inside eventually reflects on the outside, longevity is a lifestyle… not just a look.

Love the color, love the feel, love the look.
IT is pretty difficult to get a bold, unusual lip color like this dark blue to look good.
the morbid kind of good.
Get Styled according to your gut-brain axis (GBA). Dosha Dressing goes beyond simply choosing the right shoes and sweaters. Food and emotions are as critical as color and texture. Dr. Kuver created this neurobiology-based practice as a supplement for your overall wellbeing.
Starting on Saturday September 12th, you can book a one-on-one session with me during New York Fashion Week. A NYFW Edit for each general doshic profile will also be available for viewing and purchase.
In line with The Magazine’s commitment to climate awareness, I chose the sustainable luxury boutique Morphew on the Lower East Side. They house a plethora of gorgeous pieces in a fun environment!
