THE ESSENCE:
Suffuse your lips with the golden light of mythical El Dorado. Give in to fantasy with the caramel shades of sandy, deserted shores, laced with a hint of violet to evoke the bitter chill of the Altiplano high plateau.
A sun-drenched lipstick with a smooth, silky texture.
THE PIGMENT:
Achiote – Bixa orellana – is called Wantura in Quechua and is sacred to the peoples of the Amazon. Known as the “eternal shrub” that lines the path to heaven, it is used for body paint and to dye wickerwork.
It is used to reduce oxidative stress and can be found in the traditional Mexican drink Tascalate.
