The Lip & Cheek Stain by Fat and the Moon delivers just the right dose of natural color with a buildable formula. Not too pink, a little red wine-y, a little blackberry-y, and completely free of heavy metal-based dyes, it’s a versatile staple for your makeup bag.
Alkanet and beet root give this stain its rich hue and its mild, earthy scent, while a touch of rose geranium essential oil adds a floral note. Thanks to beeswax, it offers impressive staying power—dab a little for a soft tint, or layer it on for a lipstick-like look.
Fat and the Moon likes 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 is a perfect example—simple, effective, and thoughtfully crafted with non-toxic ingredients.
