THE ARCHIVE // LIMITED EDITION
- The Color: A dark, metallic blue-black with Tyrian purple undertones and a muted shimmer
- First Conjured: 2014, as one of our very first founding shades
- Inspiration: The hidden aspects of the psyche; the foundational alchemy of our beginnings
Smoky, Metallic Glimmering Blue-Black
As one of the very first colors ever conjured in our first lab back in 2014, Shadow Self represents the foundational spectrum of Rituel de Fille. Embracing the hidden, mysterious aspects of the psyche, this shade invites you to explore the depths of the shadows.
It is a deep, metallic blue-black lipstick created with rich Tyrian purple undertones. Once applied, it settles into a striking crème matte finish with a beautifully muted shimmer, offering a dramatic and atmospheric look.
The Forbidden Lipstick Formula
An intensely saturated, rich and luxuriant lipstick carefully crafted to reveal bold, daring color and impart enduring moisture. This formulation offers a beautifully dense, opaque finish that remains deeply comfortable on the lips.
How to Wear
- For a bold, saturated finish: Apply Shadow Self directly from the bullet, using the edge to sharply define the lip line for a defined, intensely vampy impact.
- For a diffused, lived-in effect: Pat the metallic color onto the lips with your fingertips to soften the edges, creating a moody, shadowy stain with a hint of shimmer.

- RRFireR R.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Shadow SelfI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoA divine dusky grape
So happy I got this extra tube. It’s like a dark dusky grape, the blue shimmer is very sedate. A very lush yet surreal color perfect for falls harvest celebrations or to seal the deal with a very cool winter vibe. I look forward to experimenting with other colors & the Metamorphic Highlighters or Rare Light Luminizers. Would love to see a true blue lip color… hint hint
- LBFireLacey B.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Shadow SelfI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 days agoInstead of black
I’ve been using this when I want more color than Black Locust, but something less harsh than black. The blurring formula is always soft and easy to work with, and makes it super versatile in cool-toned looks. Strongly recommend for fans of bold, black, or alt lip looks!

I expected it to read more black but it’s a really interesting deep indigo
- SNSparkSarai N.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Shadow SelfI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoInky blue-black
This is a beautiful shade and a different take on a black lipstick. I find I have to build up the pigment but the longevity is there and last after eating and drinking.
- KVEmberKylie V.Verified BuyerReviewingForbidden Lipstick: Shadow SelfI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoStunning!!!
Bought this from the limited edition archive sale and honestly, it should be a part of the permanent collection considering it’s a stunning blue black color. On my skin tone it looks more black which is perfect whenever I go to goth nights!
