Created in collaboration with visionary artist Chelsea Wolfe, channeling her dark, feral, and intimate world in pigment.

SWARM

Consider: Veins of red clay in the earth, tangled with dark roots. The deep flush of the sky at sunset, obscured in a dense cloud of migration. The instinct of colonies, reacting to invisible biological signals. The grasshopper transforming into the locust.

The Color: This rich, vibrant, earth-inflected deep red lip color evokes blood in fresh soil, and draws inspiration from swarm behavior in the natural world; convergences of plant, pollinator and predator. This sheer red lipstick has a semi-matte finish. For an entire set of ominous reds, get this shade and two others with our blood red lipstick trio.

The Lyric:

hear it there
feel it swarming underneath
oh when love came for me
the blue and salton sea
a thousand lives lived in circles
a planet burning at the seams
skeletal sand as a lesson
that became an offering

—From Chelsea Wolfe’s “Offering”
