One little clay pot, a beautifully personal touch of colour. Our Moroccan Aker el Fassi lip tint and cheek blush combines dried red poppy petals and pomegranate peel in a handmade terracotta pot. Activate the botanical pigment with a little moisture, then build from a delicate wash of colour to a more expressive lip and cheek tint.
This is not a waxy lipstick or a ready-mixed liquid blush. It is a traditional, water-activated tint that lets you adjust both the intensity and the tone. A light touch brings warmth to an everyday look; another layer adds definition for an evening out.
The liquid you use to moisten Aker el Fassi influences the colour you create. Our colour tip is to start with a tiny amount and try the finish before building it up.
More acidic liquids, such as lemon juice, can also shift the tint towards a deeper red. However, lemon juice is not our recommended everyday lip or facial activator because it can irritate skin. For application, choose water or a floral water suitable for the intended area, and follow its directions.
The final shade varies with the liquid used, the amount of pigment and your natural lip or skin colour. Floral waters also vary in acidity, so the result is not an exact colour guarantee.
Lift a small amount of colour with a clean, lightly damp fingertip or makeup brush. Dab sparingly onto your cheeks and blend promptly. Begin with less than you think you need: it is easier to add another touch than to soften a heavy application.
For a harmonious look, use the same pot on your lips and cheeks, adjusting the amount of pigment for each area.
Pigment ingredients: dried red poppy petals (Papaver rhoeas) and pomegranate peel (Punica granatum).
Container: handmade terracotta clay pot. Individual pots may vary in appearance.
Aker el Fassi is a traditional Moroccan botanical cosmetic used to colour lips and cheeks. This version is presented in a terracotta pot and activated with moisture before application.
Try a suitable rose water or neroli water instead of plain water. The choice of wetting liquid can shift the colour towards redder tones. Test a small amount first, as floral waters and individual results vary.
Use plain water to activate the pigment and apply a light layer. Water gives a warmer, more terracotta result than the more acidic activators described above.
Lemon juice can produce a deeper red colour, but we recommend water or a suitable floral water for lips and cheeks instead, as lemon juice can irritate skin.
Plant-based ingredients are not automatically suitable for every skin type. Patch test the tint with your chosen activator before use. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, avoid the eye area and stop using it if irritation occurs.
Wear varies with application, eating, drinking and your skin. Apply lightly, build to your preferred intensity and touch up when needed rather than expecting a fixed number of hours.
Use clean applicators and only the moisture needed to lift the pigment. Allow the surface to dry after use and store in a clean, dry place. Follow any storage and shelf-life information supplied with your product.
