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.

Finish Semi-matte
Texture Crème
Aroma Naturally floral and herbaceous, with botanical lavender and the honeyed warmth of natural beeswax

    A gorgeous pinky nude!

    It's subtle, but it really goes well with my " Victorian woman who haunts her own home" complexion. Very lightweight, stays on fairly well ( just not with super messy foods)

    Slightly moody everyday pink lip

    Cryptic has become one of my favorite everyday lip colors. The formula is creamy, comfortable, and long lasting, and the smell is lovely as well. I also own Ravenous, and can’t wait to try more shades.

    Cryptic

    This is my favorite shade of the forbidden lipstick for everyday wear. It’s a muted pink with slightly brown undertones on my skin.

    Literally my favorite lipstick

    I've never finished up a lipstick as quickly as this one. And that's not a jab at the product; the amount in the bullet is completely fine. But since purchasing it, it's become my favorite lipstick within days of wearing it. It's a perfect neutral pinky-brown, almost on the brick-toned side, but only as far as the brown goes; there's no orange. At least that's what I would describe it as on my very fair, neutral-toned skin. It adds a perfect contrast to basically any makeup look that I wear, whether it's a bold eye or just a bit of mascara and concealer. I've been searching for similar shades since shipping to Germany isn't particularly easy... but I gotta bite the bullet (I'll see myself out), there's none like this out there, I'm pretty sure.
