Sofia Coppola, the acclaimed filmmaker known for her distinctive style and aesthetic, has now ventured into the world of beauty with a new line of tinted lip balms. Inspired by her childhood experiments with melting down lipsticks to create the perfect shade, Coppola has collaborated with skincare brand Augustinus Bader to create a line of lip balms in pink, coral, and plum hues.
The $43 Augustinus Bader x Sofia Coppola lip balm reflects Coppola’s signature subtle and elegant style, which she has brought to films like “Lost in Translation” and “Marie Antoinette.” The colors of the lip balms are designed to enhance Coppola’s own features, emphasizing her full lips and aquiline features.
Coppola’s foray into beauty is not surprising, given her longstanding passion for fashion and beauty. From interning at Chanel in the 1980s to founding her own clothing brand, Milk Fed, in the ’90s, Coppola has always had a keen eye for style. She has collaborated with fashion designers like Marc Jacobs and brands like Barrie to create collections that reflect her unique aesthetic.
For Coppola, these beauty and fashion projects are simply an extension of her work in film. She views collaboration as a way to bring her vision to different mediums, while still staying true to her own artistic sensibilities. As she puts it, “I love collaboration, but in the end, you get what you want.”
With her new line of tinted lip balms, Sofia Coppola continues to blur the lines between film, fashion, and beauty, creating a world that is as enchanting and captivating as her movies.
