Lipstick Queen’s Black Tie Optional Lipstick is featured in the December issue of Lucky Magazine. The office is buzzing over ink black lip balm; it appears totally goth in the tube, but goes on as a seductively transparent shade of charcoal.

DETAILS: Straight from the Boudoir to you. A sexy, sheer black lipstick. It does for your lips what sheer black stockings do your your legs. Don’t think Gothic, think elegant. Apply it first and watch your lipsticks go sexy, smokey, and gorgeous.

Featured on the cover of this month’s GQ Magazine, January Jones’ red lipped pout makes us wish we had lips like that. Well, you can with Lipstick Queen’s Midieval coverage in the cherriest of reds. Lipstick Queen went back to Medieval times, when full coverage lipstick was considered a sin. This lipstick has a very sheer flattering look in one simple universal shade that suits every skin tone. It doesn’t even look or feel like you are wearing lipstick. It looks like you naturally have gorgeous swollen cherry lips, with just a touch of pigment to create a purely sensual lip.

We love Poppy King and her Lipstick Queen line of cosmetics. Recently she was interviewed and featured on Style.com in – meet the queen of the lipstick jungle. “It was in danger of going the way of the Sony Walkman,” Poppy King says of the fate of lipstick, the once essential cosmetic that’s spent the last decade in the shadows of sparkly gloss. But with opaque shades of orange and fuchsia all the rage on the Fall runways, a bolder approach is back in favor, and who better to lead the charge than this Aussie native and former Estée Lauder executive? Not only does King have her own line, but she wrote the book on the subject: Lessons of a Lipstick Queen, due out in paperback this month. “It’s going to take a re-education to bring lipstick back completely,” she says. Here, King talks about her early-movie-star worship, how not to look overdone, and reading Michelle Obama’s lips.
