Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Runway Coral swatches and review
Clinique debuted the latest addition to their Long Last Lipstick collection during New York Fashion Week this year. The bright coral shade Runway Coral was inspired by the makeup look created for Karen Walker's Spring/Summer 2012 runway show by Clinique's Global Colour Artist Jenna Menard and has been been turned into an online exclusive shade.
What they say:
"Direct from Fashion Week in NYC! Get the look - and the vibrant coral lip colour - created by Jenna Menard, for Karen Walker's Spring/Summer 2012 runway show. Here for a limited time - and just in time for Autumn too.
“Karen wanted the models to look youthful and feminine with a sophisticated twist,” explains Jenna Menard. “So I kept the eye very simple, the cheeks healthy and then went for a strong, vibrant lip. I chose bright coral because it’s less expected than red, and I went to the Clinique lab to create exactly the right shade. It worked with Karen's entire collection as well as all the model's skin tones.”
The lipstick is housed in the signature sturdy ribbed Clinique lipstick case. I always enjoy the sleek silver packaging of Clinique products!
Runway Coral is a gorgeous coral shade and would work wonderfully for all skin tones. It looks almost pink in some lighting but is definitely coral!

Overall: I am LOVING Runway Coral!!!! I adore coral makeup and this is no exception. It is just BEAUTIFUL!! It's more of a Spring shade but still works well in the cooler months. The formula is moisturising, applies smoothly and gives a lovely glossy finish. It's pretty pigmented so a little goes a long way! I find it lasts a good 5 hours on me and because of the pigmentation, it leaves a nice stain on my lips after it's worn off. I would definitely go with Jenna's advice and keep the rest of your look simple so that Runway Coral can pop.
With all bright lippies, it's important to ensure your lips are well exfoliated and smooth as it accentuates dry spots if your lips are dry. Unfortunately Runway Coral is only available online here in Australia and is a limited edition product!
Details: The online exclusive Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Runway Coral is available now for a limited time online from www.clinique.com.au for $36.
For US ladies, it can be purchased from Clinique counters or online at www.clinique.com for $15US.

wow, you look really good! this is such a lovely shade :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much Paula! x) It's such a gorgeous coral shade. It really brightens up the face!
DeleteSuch a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more! The formula is fantastic too.
DeleteThat shade looks so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt looked scary bright for me at first but when I saw the swatch, it looks gorgeous!
Oh yes in the tube it looks a bit intimidating but it's a sheerer formula so it's not as scary! It's such a fantastic coral shade.
DeleteThis looks so pretty on you. It definitely looks like a needed addition to my lipstick collection.
ReplyDeleteAwwww thanks Teacup! Yeah you definitely should add this to your collection. It'd look great on you!!
DeleteWow! This is such a gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteIt's my new favourite coral lippie. It's definitely gorgeous!
DeleteOh wow! This shade is absolutely divine! Looks great on you :)
ReplyDeleteSharleena xx
Awwww thank you Sharleena =) It's my new fave coral shade beating Tom Ford True Coral!
DeleteI really want to try a coral lip, but I suppose all I really need to find is a lip colour that stays - perhaps I should give this one a whirl!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely try a coral lip! I wasn't into bold lips before but I really like them now. A bright lippie can really brighten the day! If you want something that has good staying power I'd go for a more matte finish..? But definitely give Runway Coral a go!
DeleteAs said above.. This looks amazing on you, such a pretty colour!
ReplyDelete<3 thank you lovely!
Deletewhat a beautiful shade! def going to check this out!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a beautiful colour. I say everyone should own it! It's such an easy coral to wear.
DeleteIt looks like such a pretty shade on you! Is the colour more true in the photo of you wearing it or in the clinique behind-the-scenes picture? I'm tempted to get this but am put off because I'm not able to see it before buying it! >< I'm a pale Asian in NC20. Do you think it would match my skin tone? Thank you!! Xx
ReplyDeleteBecause my lips are really pigmented it comes out a tiny bit more pink on me. When I swatch it on my hand it's similar to the colour in the behind the scene photos. Keep in mind the lighting for the pictures is completely different too ;)
DeleteI think Runway Coral can work for any skintone! You can sheer the colour out or wear it as is. I'm NC 20/25 for reference.
how do you find out your skintone?
Deletelovely shade. i am fair to medium skin toned. will this shade go well with my skin tone?
ReplyDeleteI think it would go lovely with your skintone! Runway Coral would work with all skintones I think ;)
DeleteI love the look of this shade but I'm just so hesitant to buy it without trying it first. It looks gorgeous on you though!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love this shade and how it looks on you! I've never tried a Clinique lipstick, but I've always admired the packaging - it's gorgeous!
