Bespoke lipstick experience makes a unique Christmas gift
Bespoke lipstick experience is a unique Christmas gift

Code8, a beauty brand built around a 'less is more' philosophy, is offering a tailor-made lipstick experience at its boutiques in Covent Garden and Canary Wharf. The service lets guests work one-to-one with a 'Code8 Colour Maestro' to develop a completely custom lipstick shade created specifically for them.

What the experience involves

Every element of the final product is individually considered, from finish to depth to undertone to lip feel. Each part of the lipstick is changeable, including texture and finish, making it suitable for shoppers looking for a highly personalised gift.

The experience is aimed at makeup or cosmetic professionals seeking a shade they cannot find on the shelves, as well as anyone who wants a single perfect shade that does it all. According to the brand, the result is totally individual and open to the customer's interpretation.

Where to find it

Code8 has two boutiques in London, located in Covent Garden and Canary Wharf. The experience is presented as an alternative to more conventional gifts such as scented candles or striped scarf-and-beanie sets.
