Rouge Baiser poster designed by the renown fashion poster artist Rene Gruau was the world’s first “kiss-proof” lipstick. It was designed to provide long-lasting color that didn’t smudge, even after eating or kissing. This was groundbreaking for the time. Its innovative formula, developed by chemist Paul Baudecroux, used a type of cosmetic dye that stained the lips, offering durability far beyond traditional lipsticks.
