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.
Leave your mark. Define your trace.
PANTHENOL (VITAMIN B5)
Supports lip barrier health. Prevents the drying effect typical of stain formulas.
ALOE BARBADENSIS (ALOE VERA)
Soothes on contact. Delivers slip for a smooth, snag-free application.
WATER-BASED INK TECHNOLOGY
Weightless pigment that sets and locks. No drag, no bleed, no transfer.
01 — Apply directly to clean or lined lips. Start from the centre, glide outward.
02 — Layer for intensity or wear alone for a luminous veil. The formula is buildable without weight.
03 — Reapply throughout the day as your recovery protocol.
Pair with The Trace for a precision-defined lip silhouette before applying The Butter Silk.
