Cryptic: Wilted rose petal.
The Inspiration: A transformation. A constriction. A longing. Petals dry, release, and softly fall, scattering in subtle mystery.
The Color: Cryptic is a wilted rose petal shade, at once bold and softly romantic. While it is a truly wearable color, its composition of extraordinary pigments lends unparalleled complexity.
Wear Cryptic on the lips, eyes and cheeks for a monochromatic look, and combine with Superstition and Echo–its limited-edition sister shades of Love Potions–to create your own magic.
Forbidden Lipstick: An intensely saturated, rich and luxuriant lipstick carefully crafted to reveal bold, daring color and impart enduring moisture. Forbidden Lipsticks offer beautifully dense pigmentation that is remarkably lightweight on the lips; even the boldest shades feel like a comfortably long-wearing balm.
Finish: Semi-matte
Texture: Crème
Aroma: Naturally floral and herbaceous, with botanical lavender and the honeyed warmth of natural beeswax
