YASMINA EL-ABD ON ROUGE DIOR ON STAGE AND THE POWER OF LIPSTICK

Yasmina El-Abd, lipstick has always been tied to memory and transformation. Her earliest recollection is of watching her mother apply a bright red lip first thing in the morning, and today, she still sees lipstick as the finishing touch that can shift an entire look. It is a fitting connection to Rouge Dior On Stage, which expands for 2026 with two new matte formulas alongside fresh additions to its original shine finish.

Created under Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, Rouge Dior On Stage Matte pairs 24-hour no-transfer wear with a thin, velvety finish designed to feel light on the lips. Its double-phase formula combines pigment-locking color with soft-focus powders for a smoother finish, while the sculpted bullet is designed to offer both precision and full coverage in one stroke.
