034 Le Nude Astera

THE ESSENCE

Cherished . Flawless . Serene

THE COLOUR

This nude immediately brings to mind the fascinating array of colours in a Frida Kahlo painting. Wear these delicate, bronze-inflected, woody-orange shades, which are interlaced with a hint of paprika-hued coppery red.

A lightweight texture for a soft, luminous finish.

THE PIGMENT

Cosmos – Cosmos sulphureus – belongs to the Asteraceae family and originates from Latin America, where it formed part of a long-standing tradition of textile expertise in pre-Colombian cultures. A treaty dating from 1703 about cloth dyeing in Quito reveals that its powerful, vivid yellow-orange pigment was used to colour wool.

Venezuelans eat chocolate cosmos flowers in salads for their sweet flavour and medicinal hepatoprotective qualities.

A VIRTUOUS FORMULA

• Shea butter: repairing and nourishing*
• Jojoba, apricot, sunflower and castor oil: hydrating* and antioxidant qualities
• Plant-based rice bran, candelilla and carnauba waxes: softening and protecting*

*The outer layers of the skin.

A UNIQUE FINISH

The power of plant-based pigments produces a colour that adapts to the natural tone and pH level of your lips. For a more intense shade, simply layer up the colour.
