Lipstick Matte Dusk
A muted rose with grey in it — the colour of the last light of the day, which is where the name comes from. Not bright, not brown, and not a shade you have to be in the mood for.
Matte, but not the kind that leaves your lips feeling like paper: rice bran oil, castor oil and shea butter sit under the pigment, so the colour stays put while your lips do not pay for it.
4 g. Mineral pigments, no carmine, vegan. Made in the European Union.

What it does. And how.
A matte finish is normally bought at a price: take the oils out of a lipstick and the colour sits flat and stays put, but your lips pay for it by the afternoon.
This one keeps a nourishing base underneath the pigment, so you get the finish without the tightness.
It is the reason the formula is worth more than the shade.
Simple steps. Real results.
Straight from the bullet, starting in the centre of the lip and working outward. One pass for a wash of colour, two for full opacity.
For a softer, worn-in finish: one pass, then press your lips together once with a tissue between them.
On dry or flaky lips, exfoliate first. A matte formula shows texture — all of them do, this one included.
Honest answers.
What colour is Dusk exactly?+
A muted rose with grey in it — what people usually call dusty rose. Not pink, not brown, and not bright. It is the shade you can wear to work and keep on afterwards.
Will it dry out my lips?+
Less than most matte lipsticks. Rice bran oil, castor oil and shea butter are the first ingredients on the list, where a typical matte formula puts waxes and silicones. Any matte still shows dry patches, so exfoliate first if your lips are flaking.
Does it have a scent?+
Yes, a faint sweet one. Parfum is on the list, along with vanillin and orange peel oil, and limonene is declared as an allergen at the end. If you react to fragrance, this is not the one.
Is it vegan?+
Yes, and you can check it on the label. The waxes are sunflower, rice bran and Rhus fruit — no beeswax — and the colour comes from iron oxides, titanium dioxide, mica and manganese violet, not from carmine.
How does it compare to Noon?+
Dusk is cool and rosy, Noon is warm and terracotta. Underneath they are the same formula — only the pigments differ. If you normally reach for pink, take Dusk; if you reach for nude or brown, take Noon.
How long does 4 g last?+
Daily use, roughly eight to twelve months. Once opened, use within the period shown by the open-jar symbol on the base.
