Fat and the Moon like to think of themselves as minimal maximalists. If they make something, grow something, or buy something they want it to serve at its maximum potential!
The Lip & Cheek stain embodies this very idea. They've achieved the color that is, not too pink, a little red wine-y a little black berry-y stain, free of heavy metal based color.
Alkanet and beet root give this stain its rich color and its mild and earthy scent, with just a touch of essential oil of rose geranium. Rose geranium is used in aromatherapy to reduce nervousness and tension, and has mild antibacterial, astringent, and anti-inflammatory properties which all aid in the overall health of the skin.
A little dab of this stuff on the apples of your cheeks and on your lips adds just the right dose of color. Because of the beeswax, this stain has great staying power. Put a little on for a subtle effect or more for a lipstick like look.
