Hourglass’ Confession Lipstick Red 0 was first released as a special edition item and now its unique shade of vegan red has returned to disrupt the beauty industry once again. Commonly, red pigments in cosmetics are made from crushed female insects and this one stands out by being completely cruelty-free and made without any animal by-products.
The unique cruelty-free lipstick shade is powered by the brand's "patent-pending replacement for carmine" and it delivers a rich red hue with the ingredient Red 0. To tell the story of the product visually, the brand opted for a red applicator that features a beetle on it. This applicator can be used with the brand's full range of Confession Lipstick Refills.
The creamy, long-wearing color applies to provide a satin finish that's resistant to smudging or feathering.
