Valentino Beauty is set to release a new-generation lip color, SPIKE VALENTINO SHINE, on July 8, 2026 (Wednesday). Reflecting the Maison's contemporary vision, the collection is designed to elevate everyday moments into radiant individual expressions.
Inspired by Dew Drops from Paris
The inspiration behind SPIKE VALENTINO SHINE comes from Paris: the "dewdrop," which refracts and reflects light as it moves across windows and bare skin. The collection captures that fleeting, beautiful refraction and translates it into a modern, wearable statement.
Brand ambassador ラレイナ・ソン fronts the campaign, bringing to life a world where lips — and the shimmer they emit — become a new language of connection between people.
Three Key Features of the Formula
1. Dewy Shine with a Magnifying Effect
The formula draws inspiration from the "magnifying effect" of morning dew, which diffuses and amplifies light. It delivers an intensely glossy, wet-look finish while simultaneously enhancing lip volume and color. A proprietary multi-layered pearl complex called Roma Light Complex* is also incorporated, instantly creating dimension and a radiance that seems to come from within.
2. Sheer, Skin-Adaptive Color
A sheer pigment technology keeps the natural tone of the lips visible while delivering clear, vibrant color. The formula minimizes any heavy feel and adapts seamlessly to each individual's lip tone, offering a personalized, made-to-measure flush of color.
3. Creamy, Moisturizing Texture
At the moment of application, the butter-like formula melts with body heat. A cushioned base adheres closely to the lips, followed by a watery surface layer that forms instantly. The result is a lightweight, non-sticky wear with long-lasting hydration care.
Premium care ingredients:
- Peptide (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1): Refines lip texture and promotes a smooth, healthy lip line.
- Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Locks in moisture to keep lips hydrated over time.
- Bergamot Fruit Oil: Forms a gentle protective barrier on the lip surface, prevents dryness, and delivers a fresh, cooling sensation.
Metallic Rose Gold Packaging with 132 Micro-Studs
The packaging takes inspiration from the Maison's iconic Valentino Garavani Rockstud bag. SPIKE VALENTINO SHINE is encased in a metallic rose gold shell featuring 132 precisely crafted micro-studs that reflect light beautifully. Crafted from real aluminum, the case offers a pleasantly weighty feel, dimensional tactile texture, and the cool sensation unique to metal. A magnetic cap closes with a satisfying click, making every application an elegant gesture.
Precision Bullet Design for Effortless Application
The ultra-slim bullet (bullet-shaped) tip captures lip contours precisely, with no technique required.
- Define: Draw a beautiful V-shape along the cupid's bow.
- Refine: Draw a line at the center of the lower lip, then apply from both corners inward toward the center to connect.
- Amplify: Use on its own for a glossy finish, or layer over a favorite SPIKE VALENTINO MATTE for a textural effect.
