The Color: Bare pink with a hint of taupe. Petals in soft smoke. Mysterious, nocturnal.

The Creation: This is a soft flush for the nocturnal, in a shade as delicate as the fluttering of velvety wings. Moths are mysterious connections to the unseen world, symbols of the realm of dreams—and were our inspiration to create a shade that is perfectly subtle, yet as transformative as metamorphosis.

How to Wear: Use as a cream blush or multi. With fingertips, brush or sponge, diffuse onto cheeks, lips and eyes as desired.

The Result: A soft, translucent finish like watercolors for your skin.

The Formula: Color Nectar Pigment Balm is a range of perfectly translucent yet stunningly vibrant shades inspired by sweet flowers in bloom, the wild lure of pollinators, glistening honey, and the hum of the hive. These are ambrosial formulas with an irresistible jelly texture and finish.

Finish Dewy translucent
Texture Jelly crème
Aroma Naturally floral and herbaceous, with botanical lavender and the honeyed warmth of natural beeswax
Fill 0.11 oz / 3.2 g
Color Set: Color Nectar Pigment Balm Spectrum (The Archive | 3 Shades) - Rituel de Fille

THE MORTAL AND THE DIVINE

Lift your cup and sip slowly, a flush of red on your lips. Look out to the wine-dark sea, where moonlight shimmers on the cresting waves. Raise your eyes to the spill of radiant stars against the black sky. When the glimmering sand shifts underfoot, you still feel traces of the sun's warmth.

Delicate curls of smoke billow like silk in the still air. Crush the bitter herb. Break the dark root. Carefully pull the flower's petals, whisper familiar ancient words, and release them into the fire.

CREATING THE COLLECTION

Usually, when the two of us work together in our laboratory, serendipity strikes like lighting. But for this time, finding serendipity for ourselves required countless hours of creation we had to conjure our own thunderstorm. We set out to capture subtle, soft magic; to create a delicate, ethereal and spellbinding vignette in a collection, evoking a sense of the hidden and a the promise of the extraordinary.

Five times, once for each nuanced shade, we had to pass the finest golden thread through the narrowest needle's eye. Then, together, we had to spin each of those threads into a delicate gossamer whole. As each perfect shade emerged, we wove a new world at dusk. A sorceress delicately plucking from her botanical garden. A faun emerging from the river, glistening in the waning light. An unctuous potion created in a base of wine and honey. A nymph enveloped within the ancient forest, illuminated by the pulse of fireflies.

The result is a collection that speaks in powerful, resonant whispers; this is one of the most extraordinary collections we have ever released.

    I didn't think this would suit my cool and pale skin...

    ...but, unusually, I was wrong. Almost everything pulls warm on me, but not Moth. It looks like a perfect taupe-y pink on me and has quickly become my go-to cool-neutral blush. Props for the seamless blending and sheering out on my pale cheeks that cannot withstand but a mere touch of colour. In addition, I must commend the buildability of this balm formula as well as the non-tackiness of it. Plus, it looks absolutely bomb as an opaque layer on my lips as well. I truly hope this will become a permanent colour in this line of products.

    The nude blush of my dreams

    I really hope they add this to the year-round line. I love the Lust and Lovesick Inner Glow Creme pigments, and Moth is like if the two of those had a soft, sheer (but very buildable and versatile) baby. In the summer I use Lust as a bronzer/contour build-out for Lovesick, but in the winter I'm slightly too pale for that. Moth is my ideal one-and-done multi. It's what I had hoped the nude color in YSL's Make Me Blush would look like, but that leans a little pinker and isn't as versatile. This can be sheered out to perfection for a natural flush, but is also the exact pinkish nude I need to do a "my lips and lids but better) mono-look. Love, love, love this. When I feel like adding a little contour I use Hornet, and this works beautifully with that!

    Beautiful, Subtle Color

    I was really unsure about buying this shade. I was worried it would pull too brown or muddy but it is absolutely the perfect shade of bare pink. My lips but better and a beautiful flush on my cheeks. Up in till I tried this, I only had one Holy Grail item. This just became the second.

    Obsessed doesn’t begin to cover it

    So I was lucky enough to be able to try this shade last year as part of the Black Friday GWPs and it was love at first blush (literally). As someone with a rather fair complexion and neutral undertones, I find Moth to be incredibly versatile in terms of application. In addition to cheeks, eyes, and lips, I found that Moth looks amazing as a contour which is how I’m wearing it in the photo.

    As I started hitting pan in my gwp from last year, I had been anxiously awaiting for the color to return for purchase. I’m really happy to see it return!

    Perfect color

    This is such a great cool, desaturated rose color. Gives the cheeks a wonderful flush without being too much. On the lips, it’s giving “your lips but better”. Great product.

    Stunning colour

    This is the most perfect blush for my natural flush, it’s so native on my skin. While it’s dewy, it’s not tacky. You can build the pigment up if you want and it never looks harsh
