Darkest Deeds: An impossibly vibrant, stunningly rich inky purple that we formulated in our lab exclusively with carmine to create the color. Carmine offers a range of rich tones from reds to magentas to purples, and after discovering a remarkable incarnation of the pigment, we knew that we had to create a new lip color to fully encapsulate its deep, dramatic hue.
About Carmine Pigment: Carmine is made from the cochineal insect, and has been worn by women for centuries. Because of its rarity, it is vastly more expensive than synthetic coal and petroleum-based colorants used in most cosmetics. It is a true luxury of incredible beauty.
Early modern production of carmine was sparked in Peru as an effort to stimulate the economy with traditional natural resources, with cochineal bringing farmers similar rates as coca and therefore offering them a viable alternative. The areas where cochineal is harvested supports local economies and education, and those areas are scattered across Peru to ensure sustained growth.

I really love how versatile this shade of Forbidden Lipstick is – I use it on boy my eyes and lips. I can go full spectrum and get a dark eggplant/almost black shade on my lips or a slight natural tint for my olive tan complexion. For my eyes a little goes a long way for a lovely shade of lavender.

- LLEmberLiz L.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Darkest DeedsI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoThe prettiest plum
I'm a sucker for purple lipsticks, but very rarely do they look just right. This one however, goes far beyond that. It's a stunning, rich colour, and it's honestly everything I've wanted out of a shade like this. Plus it smells wonderful (like all Rituel de Fille products), and has the most beautiful creamy, moisturising texture.
- AMSparkanne m.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Darkest DeedsI do not recommend this productRated 2 out of 5 stars4 years agoBeautiful color, causes reaction
I'm slightly sensitive to cochineal, but have never had an issue with it in RdF products until this lipstick, which led to a slight burning and reddening around where it was applied.Beyond that, the color is beautiful and the formula is divinely creamy.
