The Color: Sheer, bitten blood red. Unaffectedly powerful, dreamy for everyday.

The Creation: Adder's Tongue is the red we have long yearned for, but never quite found in real life. It is a red of soft, dreamy delirium, like a bitten lip, like a pulsing heartbeat: a diffused, truly sheer, but still utterly red blood red; one that can be applied without a thought in an easy smear, that wears like a part of you, that is unaffectedly powerful. Finally, this is that red lipstick we have always imagined. 

How to Wear: Apply directly from the bullet, using the pointed end to sharpen edges—or the tip of your finger to blur.

The Result: Lightweight, comfortable moisture in an opulent shade.

The Formula: Inspired by ancient botanicals, these highly moisturizing lip sheers offer translucent yet vibrant color. Enchanted Lip Sheers offer buildable 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

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.

    My ultimate red lipstick

    I had never worn red lipstick before this. I actually got it last year during the Black Friday sale as a freebie and fell in love with this. I even emailed the team to beg them to make it a permanent color and they did! If you’re not used to such a bloody deep red you can tap this out for a very wearable shade. My favorite way to wear it is with a cool brown/greigey colored lipliner and this lipstick

    Warm subtle red

    A bit surprised at how warm it pulled but it still looks really nice. It’s a subtle red for if you’re not used to wearing reds or bright lipsticks. It applies evenly and def gives off the bitten lip vibe. Wearing here with weeping cherry balm and iron orb liner and they go so well together.

    That said, one star down as There’s something wrong with my bullet, and I can’t twist it up or down after the initial twist up, which is a shame because I really liked this colour and returning is out of the question given how much shipping to and from Asia costs.
