Chantecaille Amaryllis Lip Chic applied


A reader, Kelly Ann, has asked if I had any idea what lipstick Rachel McAdams wore in the Sherlock Holmes movie. I haven't seen the movie and I'm only going by still shots I can find online, but it looks like a slightly reddish bright pink to me. I have read that Chantecaille was used on the set, and the closest colour I can think of to the shade I can see on the pictures of Rachel is the Lip Chic in Amaryllis.

Lip Chics are sheer but buildable, and very comfortable on the lips. Unfortunately, they are also among the most expensive lipsticks on the market (that aren't Serge Lutens) at £26.50.

Below is a face picture; I'm also wearing Chantecaille eyeshadows in Agate and Titanium and Chantecaille blush in Mood.


Does anyone else have any suggestions for the lipstick Rachel McAdams might have been wearing in the Sherlock Holmes movie (or even know which one it actually was?)

  4. Hi Amina - Well, this is the only one I own...so, I'm not sure. I like the colour, I like the feel of it, but they are really expensive. I think I prefer the Suqqu Blend lipsticks, which are a bit sheerer, but unscented (the Lip Chic has a light vanilla type of scent) and are slightly less sticky feeling. Those are £24, so still not inexpensive. I'm no help at all, I'm afraid. I'm glad I bought this one to assuage my curiosity, but I'm not rushing out to buy more.

  5. Thank You Ms. London! I really appreciate Yours and any one else's help. I'm pretty sure I will be splurging on one of these soon for our summer vacation, perhaps. Looking forward to see other responses also.

  7. Hi Kelly Ann - you're welcome, and thank you for the prompt to pull this one out!

    Hey Lucia - they are quite similar to the Suqqu. The Chantecaille have a slight scent to them, but otherwise, the feel and wear is about the same.
