THE ARCHIVE // UNSEALED SHADE
- The Color: A sheer, earthy, cool-toned brown
- First Conjured: 2021, alongside Weeping Lilac
- Inspiration: Autumn, cool as the night air and moody as the billowing fog
A Moody, 90s-Inspired Wash of Color
Hornet is a cool, rich, grounding brown composed in our translucent, jelly-like formula. It melts seamlessly into the skin, diffusing into a sheer, 90s-inspired depth that looks striking and sophisticated on the lips, cheeks, and eyes.
Multi-Use Makeup to Wear Everywhere
Translucent like stained glass and formulated with skin-supporting jojoba and castor oils, our Color Nectar Pigment Balms act as a cream color, lip tint, and eye color, diffusing to create an effect like watercolors for the skin. Effortlessly blendable and perfectly petite, it is the ultimate multi-use formula to carry everywhere.
How to Apply
- For Cheeks: Swirl your fingertips or a dense brush into the pan. Tap into the hollows of the cheeks and blend outward for a sheer, watercolor flush.
- For Lips: Press directly onto the lips with a finger for a bitten, stained-glass tint that deeply moisturizes. Swipe softly around the lip line for a diffused look.
- For Eyes: Tap and blend out for a soft wash of color.
Rituel de Fille Cool-Toned Color Guide
Wondering which of our cult-favorite cool-toned colors is right for your look? While two of our bestselling formulas melt seamlessly into the skin, they serve two entirely different purposes.
- Hornet | Color Nectar Pigment Balm: A sheer, dewy, jelly-like finish. Because of its translucence, this is not a traditional sculpting contour, though we love it for creating depth in the easiest-ever monochromatic looks. This multi-use product delivers a soft, subtly moody, 90s-inspired wash of watercolor depth across the lips, cheeks, and eyes.
- Cool-Toned Contours | Inner Glow Crème Pigment: A velvety cream finish that is buildable to greater opacity. Shades Omen, Premonition, Divination, Eclipse and Intuition are specifically formulated to mimic real shadows, making them the ultimate formula for dedicated facial sculpting and definition.

Gorgeous color & formula - I have medium olive skin and this color is so flattering! The formula is creamy & layerable. I highly recommend this beautiful product.
- NCEmberNatalie C.Verified BuyerReviewingColor Nectar Pigment Balm: HornetI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days ago90s brown
Perfect cheek tint for an olive tone girl like me - the sheer dewy finish sheers out to give a really nice neutral hint of color. Missed it on its first releases but glad i get to finally try it! Attached a photo of it swatched and then blended.

Worn a bit subtly as blush but I think would look really good as contour as well.
- SGSparkSherry G.Verified BuyerReviewingColor Nectar Pigment Balm: HornetI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars1 week agoLove this shade!
I love this shade. I topped off a red cream blush to add more warmth to the red because they tend to pull cool/pink on me and it looked really good. It’s a tad slippery on my lids since they’re oily so I need to play around to see if I can set it without changing the color

I've purchased from this company twice now and I'm in love with every single item - this one included. It doesn't smear or smudge once it's on the lid and placed, and it sets beautifully. The formula is incredibly smooth and a little goes a long way, so this will last me a long time!

PLEASE, PLEASE bring this one back as part of the permanent collection!!! I Love a good '90s lip and this one absolutely delivers. I know everything '90s is super trendy right now, but I've loved the '90s since the actual '90s and want to be able to keep buying this after the trend has cycled through!
