Discover Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte 169 – French Tea, a soft-matte lipstick created to give lips a naturally blurred, effortlessly chic finish. Part of Lancôme’s iconic L’Absolu Rouge collection, the Intimatte formula was developed for those who love the sophistication of a matte lip but want it to feel weightless, soft and wearable all day.
Inspired by modern French beauty, shade 169 French Tea sits in the perfect space between nude and warm terracotta — flattering on a wide range of skin tones. Its velvety matte finish is designed to look intentionally imperfect: think blotted, lived-in colour that feels confident, relaxed and timeless.
Customers who love a luxury lipstick that’s comfortable, modern, and versatile. It’s especially popular with those looking for a polished everyday shade that can transition seamlessly from daytime wear to evening looks.
The Intimatte line was created to deliver the elegance of Lancôme’s signature lipstick shades with a new-generation matte technology — soft-focus pigments that give lips a plush, cloud-like look without ever drying them out.
A warm, tea-rose nude with a subtle earthy undertone. It feels silky and featherlight on the lips, with a diffused matte texture — never chalky, never heavy.
Very lightly scented with Lancôme’s signature floral cosmetic aroma — clean, soft, and elegant (not overpowering).
Perfect for work, brunch, date nights and understated glam looks. A brilliant everyday go-to that still feels special.
Anyone who wants a matte lipstick that looks luxurious but feels comfortable. Ideal for fans of natural makeup, French-girl beauty, and effortless elegance.
If you’ve ever wanted a lipstick that makes you look instantly put-together without looking like you’ve “tried too hard”, 169 French Tea is that shade. It’s warm enough to add life to the face, but neutral enough to go with absolutely anything — office outfits, casual jeans, or an evening dress. The formula feels surprisingly soft for a matte lipstick, like a gentle cushion on the lips. It gives that blurred, velvety look that’s flattering even if your lips are naturally dry or textured.
