Slow Burn
Slow Burn
Slow Burn is a warm rose with clay undertone - it's the kind of shade that doesn’t shout for attention but draws it in, slowly. Smooth, elegant, and quietly magnetic, it’s that perfect in-between red-rose that feels polished without trying too hard.
On light to medium skin, it reads as a sophisticated rose-neutral, build it from light to deep. On deeper tones, it deepens into a sensual, grounded warmth that feels effortlessly confident. Think candlelight glow and a knowing smile - that’s Slow Burn.
This creamy, satin formula glides on comfortably, nourishing dry lips with every wear. Gluten-free, vegan, fragrance-free, and shimmer-free - a clean, classic shade you’ll keep reaching for.
