Shade and Finish Details
Forbidden Romance combines a romantic rosy base with metallic shimmer that shifts as light moves across the lips. Expect a luminous, foil-like effect rather than a flat color, giving lips a polished look with an almost molten sheen. The texture remains creamy enough to feel hydrating, yet formulated to hold its shape and color through typical daily activities. This shade is especially flattering on warm undertones and can be layered over a matching lip liner for more precise edge control and added dimension.
How to Use
- Prep lips with a gentle lip scrub and a light balm, then blot to create a smooth canvas
- Outline lips with a coordinating lip liner to define shape and reduce feathering
- Apply Forbidden Romance from the center of the lips outward for an even base
- Build intensity by applying a second coat to deepen the metallic payoff
- Press lips together lightly to blend and smooth the finish, then blot lightly if you prefer less transfer
- Reapply as needed to maintain color throughout the day or night
