For my birthday in November of last year, I found this lipstick on Nordstoms.com. Yes, Chanel’s Obscure Rouge Allure from the Fall 2009 Noirs Obsurs collection was available for purchase, so I had to snap it up.
While many describe Obscure to be a doppelganger for the now discontinued Vamp Hydrabase lipstick, I believe this is in fact false. I would describe Obscure as a raisin. A deep burnt red sans blue pigments.
The color also reminds me of the R&B women of the 90′s. Remember the videos of Mary J. Blige , Total and SWV where they all wore shades and deep burgundy and raisin lipstick tones.
90′s throwback here we come! Next up matte loose powder.
