February tends to put hearts and flowers everywhere. That can be lovely, and a little noisy. Frank and Lucie prefers a softer version of romance. Less shouting, more quiet moments that feel like you.
A long lunch with someone you love. A text that makes you smile. An evening alone with a book you cannot put down. All of those are love stories too. And your readers are there for every line.
Soft shades for soft moments
Frank and Lucie works with a palette that feels made for romance, but always with character.
Vital Blush is one of those colours that seems to add its own little love letter to your face. Described as a bold gradient full of warmth and flair, it has pink and blush tones that bring extra life to your cheeks. Perfect if you want your reader to feel like a touch of lipstick and light in one.
Raspberry Baret is deeper, richer, more like a glass of red wine in colour form. On models such as Eyewill it becomes a small statement, still elegant, never too loud. Lucie calls it the perfect finishing touch for any look, a shade that makes even a simple shirt and jeans feel considered.
Then there is Grenache, a warm wine-tinted hue with a soft, juicy depth. It sits somewhere between berry and red, giving your face a gentle flush without overpowering it. Grenache is made for long dinners, candlelight and all the little moments where you want your reader to whisper “I am here” rather than shout for attention.
Love for others, love for yourself
Of course, a pair of readers in one of these shades makes a thoughtful gift. For a partner who reads late into the night, for a friend who always has a book in her bag, for a family member who pretends they do not really “need” reading glasses yet.
But Frank and Lucie would like to gently remind you that self-love counts too. Choosing a frame in a colour that truly flatters you is a small act of kindness towards yourself. It turns the moment you reach for your readers into a ritual rather than a reminder.
Stand in front of a window, put on Vital Blush, Raspberry Baret or Grenache and simply ask: do my eyes light up. Does my skin look softer. Do I feel like me, only a little more radiant.
If the answer is yes, that is love at first sight.
