From Jello Beans:
“This is basically our Magnum Opus of lipstick…it’s the one thing we absolutely MUST put on when we’ve got a cocktail party or black tie event. This 4‑hour, long‑wearing lip color… rich, velvety color that doesn’t cake, feather, or bleed.”

🎯 Ideal For
- Perfect for: Those seeking a chic, seasonal brick-red nude with good performance and care benefits—ideal as an elevated everyday or evening shade.
- Less ideal for: Anyone with very dry lips or needing ultra-hydrating, transfer-proof finishes—best when paired with a lip balm or prep.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Prep well: Exfoliate and apply balm before use.
- Layer smart: One smooth swipe gives full coverage; blot and reapply for softer edges.
- Define: Use a lip liner to prevent slight feathering and enhance longevity.
- Set finish: Lightly dust translucent powder to reduce transfer.
- Clean removal: Use oil-based remover for thorough stain removal and lip care.
