Monika Heiligmann Elixir de Volume No. 9 Midnight in Paris

This 'limited edition' shade captures Paris after dark, when the city softens into lamplight, the Seine catches the glow, and the evening feels quietly romantic. Midnight in Paris is a deep, luminous rouge-noir with a soft berry warmth, sheer and buildable from an effortless everyday veil to a richer after-hours finish. Timeless, romantic, and undeniably elevated.

Inspired by Paris at midnight, where a walk along the river, a candlelit table, and the city lights define the hour. It reflects a world where beauty and mood meet after the sun goes down.

Elixir de Volume is an artfully crafted lip volumizing serum that wears just like a gloss, while delivering clinically proven lip volume enhancement. Designed to perfect the balance between instant fullness and lasting results, it redefines what non-invasive lip care can achieve.
