Description
High-Precision Lip Tint.
The memory of a color. The weight of nothing.
We believe your signature shouldn't be high-maintenance. The Trace was engineered for the woman who demands an effortless, "just-bitten" flush that stays exactly where she puts it. I wanted a tool that provided the surgical precision of a calligraphy pen with the soft, blurred finish of a natural stain. It’s not just a lip tint; it’s an infusion of pure pigment designed to survive your day, from the first coffee to the final glass.
-
The Architectural Tip: A tapered, flexible point for ultimate definition. Trace the contours with clinical precision or fill for a seamless, weightless wash.
-
The Rice-Infused Base: Unlike traditional stains that dehydrate, The Trace is powered by fermented rice water to keep the lips supple and smooth.
-
The Second-Skin Finish: A zero-gravity formula that locks onto the skin. No bleeding, no smudging, and absolutely transfer-proof.
-
The Edit: Five curated, muted shades designed to enhance your natural lip architecture, not mask it.
