Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable Lipstick – Red 0

Introducing Red 0: a patent-pending, vegan alternative to carmine which for centuries has been the beauty industry’s go-to-red pigment (produced from crushed beetles). Granting this beautiful lipstick its colour-pop hue, the name symbolises the Hourglass promise to animal welfare – zero animal by-products, zero animals harmed.

“Carmine is everywhere, from food and alcohol to paint.” says Hourglass’ founder, Carisa. “Creating a vegan alternative felt like an impossible feat at times, but it was such an important step – we need to move away from treating living beings as expendable.” We couldn’t agree more, and this beautiful, scarlet bullet is housed in an exclusive red applicator adorned with a beetle = delivering the same creamy, saturated payoff that you’ve come to know and love. Long-wearing with a satin finish, the ultra-slim stick permits precise application – allowing you to easily define and fill the lip with vivid, traffic-stopping pigment that will never smudge or feather.
