Most Expensive Lipstick

To call Guerlain’s KissKiss Gold and Diamonds lipstick the most expensive lipstick in the world may be a mistake. Sure, it’s priced at $62,000 USD, more than some houses. Sure, it comes in fifteen shades hand-selected by renowned French makeup artist Olivier Echaudemaison. Really, though, it’s the luxurious case that makes this lipstick sparkle. Literally.

Most expensive lipstick

A replica of Echaudemaison and designer Herve Van Der Straeten’s original 2005 KissKiss lipstick case, KissKiss Gold and Diamonds is aptly named. It’s made with 110g of solid 18-carat gold and 199 diamonds (2.2 carats in total). The case can even be engraved with your name or a personal message. So precious is this lipstick case that it comes with a black lacquered wooden case in which to store it. Furthermore, it includes a lip brush and black suede pouch. Thankfully, you won’t have to throw the extravagant lipstick case out when you’ve emptied it; it’s refillable.

This isn’t Guerlain’s first lipstick marvel. They’re also known for creating the first automatic lipstick and the first solid lipstick.

The world’s most expensive lipstick kit is only available by private appointment at Guerlain Boutiques at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus San Francisco, The Breakers West Palm Beach and Epcot.
