Pigment Details
- Temperature: Cold
- Shade Description: A vibrant red-purple hue with a distinctly cool undertone.
Recommended Techniques
- Bright Lipstick Effect:
- Use the pigment clean to achieve a striking, bold lipstick look.
- Note: Heals to a vivid, bright finish.
- Watercolor Effect:
- Dilute the pigment in a 1:1 ratio with thinner for a softer, more translucent effect.
- Dense Coloring:
- To tone down the brightness and create a softer, dense coverage, mix with nude shades such as 209, 210, 211, or 212.
- Contour with Shading:
- Apply on cool-toned lips of a similar color to enhance the shape and definition subtly.
Suitability
- Ideal for cold color types, particularly those with winter or summer complexions.
- Avoid using directly on cold lips to prevent an overly sharp or unnatural look.
This pigment is perfect for creating bold, cool-toned lip enhancements while offering flexibility through various techniques.
