This is a true replica of a color from 1922.

As women in the twenties began to take more risks with hair and clothing, they also started to take risks in makeup. The cupids bow lip shape, thin brows and dark lips became standard. Blood Red is the perfect complement to this time. Unlike most red lipsticks that have a pink undertone, Blood Red is a true red, with a true red undertone that can be worn full on or as a stain.

Deep, soulful red with a surprising red undertone that looks like a freshly bitten lip. Wear full strength for impact or as a stain for a natural looking red lip. The warm undertone of this color makes it easy to wear for cool or warm complexions alike. A semi-matte finish with one coat full coverage.
