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.

I am in love with this color!!! I have several of these lippies and I love them all! This is my favorite makeup brand!
- CVEmberCelia V.Verified ReviewerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: CrypticI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLight Burgundy color
I'm giving it 5 stars because its a great lipstick and because out of all the lipsticks I owe, I use this one the most. It's my fave in my collection. Love the burgundy color but I do wish it was more darker on me like the model's pic, as my skin tone is close to hers. But nonetheless its my fave lipstick, I've worn it to concerts, work events, and parties. What I do to build up the color is wear a clear or similar color lip gloss on top of it. It lasts me the whole evening. Even when I have to reapply it, I don't have to use it too much. The color does last.

I really like the formula these lipsticks and it lasts me a few hours!

A great brownish, pinkish mauve lipstick. More coverage than the lip sheers, but still glides on just as smooth. I’ll be keeping it on my purse for days when i forget to put something on my lips but i need a nice natural color.
- DASparkDania A.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: CrypticI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoLawyer-Like MLBB
If anyone's ever watched The Good Wife, then you know that classic burgundy nude MLBB shade that Julianna Margulies wears every episode, and I feel like this is the absolute replica. It's got a slight cooler undertone, especially when layered, but warms up a bit when sheered out. Like all the other Forbidden Lipsticks, it takes bit of work to apply evenly, especially if going straight from the bullet, but the final look is great. Though I hate blending and blotting lip colors with my fingers, I find that this is the best method for this formula. I don't think a brush would be as effective. I love mixing this one with Hex to get an even lighter MLBB for my tone, but it's definitely a staple for me, especially in the Fall.
