New York Lips is Bond No. 9’s first venture into color cosmetics, conceived with the same city-driven storytelling and craftsmanship as the brand’s celebrated fragrances. Designed for day and night, for subtle gestures and unforgettable moments, this collection channels the spirit, diversity, and confidence of New York itself.
Made in New York, the collection reflects the energy, vibrancy, nuance, and individuality of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. At its core is a carefully curated family of reds. Nine decadent statement shades, each timeless and expressive, created as a love letter to the city and the women who define it.
“New York is a city of colors,” says Laurice Rahme, Bond No. 9 founder and president. “We wanted to do an edit by family - like we have done for fragrance, with citrus, white florals, ouds and fougeres - that translates the spirit of New York, this time for the lips.”
As with Bond No. 9 fragrances, every shade is designed to function as a personal signature. The formula was developed to meet the same standards of luxury and performance, using refined ingredients and advanced cosmetic technology to deliver confident color with ease and longevity.
“We call it a smart lipstick,” says Bond No. 9 founder and president Laurice Rahme. “It glides on in one stroke; it knows where to go, and it lasts. It is the true essence of what a modern lipstick should be.”
The result is bold, high-impact color with lasting wear. Strong, vibrant, and chic, these reds are created for women who wear confidence effortlessly. Each shade offers staying power and presence, delivering color with conviction from morning through night.
As with the perfect fragrance, New York Lips provides the final, defining touch. A modern form of armor, a signature detail, and a statement that lingers long after the moment.
“We've captured the soul of each neighborhood,” says Bond No. 9 founder and president, Laurice Rahme.
