The existing shades consist of five colors, from a color type with buildable payoff when layered to a white that adds sparkling shine, with shades that melt naturally into the lips and glitter of various hues that enhance brightness.
Uncompromising shine and care benefits
"Prada Light Glowing Lip Balm" pursues both uncompromising shine and care benefits.
The carefully crafted formula uses ultra-fine "micro glitter*" The micro glitter*is densely layered to give off fine light, wrapping lips in shine and moisture to create glamorous, elegant, dimensional lips.
It also focuses on lip care, containing bifidobacteria extract*2 and passion fruit oil*3. For 24 hours*4, it aims to give lips a melting feel and moisture while supporting the barrier function, leading to lips less prone to roughness with each use.
Design and refills reflecting Prada's aesthetics
The side of the lipstick has embossing inspired by Re-Nylon, the material that symbolizes Prada. The rounded tip is designed to give a smooth, melting feel.
The case is in the iconic silver of Prada lips, with an eye-catching metallic pink ring. Its design is suited to carrying around and is also an option as a gift.
Some shades (U022, U023) are refillable, and buying a refill reduces materials by about 76% compared with buying the full package.
