Anna Sui Does It Again! Her Classic Lipsticks Just Got a Big Makeover for Fall

All things Anna Sui—from her runway designs to beauty collections—draw inspiration from vintage styles. So it’s no surprise she’s given her beloved lipsticks a retro makeover for fall. That’s right, it’s time to say goodbye to the black enamel sculpted rose tubes and usher in some seriously flashy new packaging. The new tubes, which are a translucent silvery-black, have a sort of hip-grandma vibe, in the most appealing possible way: small diamond-shaped engravings cover the outside, and there are black stars sketched along the base. 

One thing that’s carried over from the classic tube is a sculpted flower that sits on top of the cap; another is Anna’s signature rose scent, lightly infused into the product. But the real surprise is inside: pop off the top, and the lipstick bullet itself is cut in the shape of a star! Pretty much the coolest thing ever. 

The majority of the “V” shades (“V” stands for “vivid”) have been slightly updated, but two—#400 and #401—Anna’s favorite, bestselling reds, have stayed exactly as they’ve always been. There’s also a new group, the “M,” or “Marbled”—three new lipsticks, each blended from two colors, one shimmery, one solid. They’re somewhat sheer on, but the shimmer is totally noticeable, especially in direct sunlight (we’re not complaining!). See—and shop!—all the shades below.
