How to find the perfect shade of lipstick
如何找到完美的口红颜色
I believe that all beauty fans have at least one item they buy over and over, in the search for product nirvana. Among mine is nude lipstick, specifically, about 200 near-identical peachy-pinky-beigey shades, acquired in the impossible belief that each will prove, finally, to be the nude to rule them all. So when the British brand Code8 invited me to try its Bespoke Lipstick service (£75 for 45 minutes), nothing could keep me away.
我相信，所有的美妆迷在产品天堂里寻找的过程中，至少有一件东西是他们反复购买的。我的口红中就有裸色，具体来说，这些口红中大约有200种，是几乎一模一样的桃红色、粉红色和米黄色，我买每种颜色都源自于一种不可能的信念，即每一种都将最终证明，是裸色主宰了所有的颜色。因此，当英国品牌Code8邀请我试用其定制口红服务（45分钟75英镑）时，没有什么能阻止我。
For those to whom lipstick is more like a religion than a passion, YSL’s new Rouge Sur Mesure device (£250) is the ultimate gift. This slick, dressing table-top digital device can create 4,000 lipstick shades using only a free smartphone app and base colour cartridges (think tiny printer cartridges full of lipstick, £60 for a full colour family set – pinks, oranges, nudes and reds).
对于那些视口红如信仰（宗教）而非激情的人来说，圣罗兰（YSL）的新款定制口红设备（售价250英镑）是终极礼物。这款光彩照人的梳妆台式数码设备，仅仅使用一款免费的智能手机应用程序以及基本色盒，就能创造4000种口红色度（想象一下装满口红的小型打印机墨盒，60英镑就可以买下一套全彩家用套装，包含了粉色、橙色、裸色和红色）。
During my practice run, I photographed the ketchup on the table, then in about two minutes, very closely recreated its concentrated tomato shade in a real-life lipstick to apply there and then. The machine dispenses five applications directly into a smart, portable YSL compact, which can be wiped out later and filled with, perhaps, doses of your wedding bouquet pink, train ticket orange, or the exact nude spotted on a magazine cover. If you’re feeling low on inspiration, there’s a vast array of colour options on the app, which will memorise favourites for another time.
在我的练习过程中，首先我拍摄了桌子上的番茄酱，然后在大约两分钟内，用其真实的口红涂抹，非常接近地再现了浓缩的番茄色。这台机器将五种应用程序直接放入一个智能的、便携的圣罗兰粉盒中，可以清除也可以填充，里面可能装满了婚礼花束的粉色、火车票的橙色，或者杂志封面上的裸色。如果你觉得没有灵感，在应用程序上也有大量的颜色可供选择，它会记住你最喜欢的颜色，供下次使用。
