Ravenous: A bite, a break. Red flows darkly, swelling with each heartbeat. Drops fall, cluster, merge. The blood slowly, silently darkens.
Pigment: Created from the saturated red of carmine and brown earth shades of iron oxide, this is a dramatic dark red brown lipstick shade that captures the color of dried blood.
Forbidden Lipstick: An intensely saturated, rich and luxuriant lipstick carefully crafted to reveal bold, daring color and impart enduring moisture. Forbidden Lipsticks offer beautifully dense 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

This is the best gothic red I have found. Gorgeous and the color naturally whitens teeth. My go too!
- CHCait H.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: RavenousI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars10 hours agoIncredible color, a little drying
If you have been searching for the perfect dried blood/oxblood shade that isn't too purple but still deep dark red, this is it! My only qualm is that the lipstick is quite dry, which means it needs to be warmed up by swiping it on your hand once or twice before application that isn't patchy. Also, obviously, chapped lips will make the color patchy as well. But once on, the color stays on and feels weightless. Oh, and the scent is strong yet fades almost instantly, which is good if you are not used to lavender scented lip products. I give this a 4.5 stars out of 5.

Just what I wanted. I had been looking for a shade like this and had tried a couple drugstore/mall brands and was disappointed with the low quality. This on the other hand, is super creamy, hydrating and lasted a long time. The color is dark without being overly purple and can be blotted if you want a more subtle look. Excited to try more of their products.

Too emollient and doesnt stick to the center part of my lips which remain bright pink. So i can only use this to touch up other similar colored lipsticks and not wear on its own. Wanted to love this but the formula makes it too hard to wear. Might be better for someone with naturally darker lips
- VCVanessa C.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: RavenousI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoI’m so amazed
The color is so beautiful! The lipstick feels so good on my lips and it wears well. It’s very hydrating and smooth. The pigment is beautiful! I absolutely love and will be buying more! I get so many compliments!!
- RDRachel D.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: RavenousRated 3 out of 5 stars5 months agoReally disappointed
I was so looking forward to this but the quantity to price ratio is really upsetting. When i opened the package i thought i was sent a free sample size product with my order but no, that was the the actual product. I feel like 25$ plus shipping and tax is wayy too much for that amount, plus the transfer is crazy it doesn't last at all without moving around on your lips when you talk, making it look patchy. 3 stars because the color is nice.
