In a nutshell

A lab/clinic/party setting in which you blend your own lipstick shades, lip balm etc. Appointments range from an hour (for one person) to all-day events for larger groups.

In their words

"Custom lip colour; made by you". "Welcome to LIP LAB, a unique space where YOU are a CREATOR free to EXPERIMENT with COLOR to create a wearable EXPRESSION of you."

Visit Field notes

The Soho flagship is a blend of culinary college workstations and luxury beauty makeover, with a touch of Tupperware party. While you can walk in, an appointment is best. You can mix and create lipsticks and balms with support and colour matching.
