What this routine helps with

Add a natural flush to lips and cheeks.

Anyone who likes a natural lip tint and blush.

Aker fassi is a traditional Moroccan stain. It leaves colour rather than a layer, so a little goes a long way and you build the shade.

This is a colour routine, not a skincare treatment.

Before you begin

An aker fassi pot with a clear ingredient list and a BPOM number A lip brush or cotton swab, water or rose water, lip balm

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the lips

    Apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot the excess.

  2. Step 2

    Lift the colour

    Dampen the brush with water or rose water and rub it on the clay pot until the red lifts.

  3. Step 3

    Apply in layers

    Apply to lips in thin layers until you reach the shade you like. Water gives a deeper red.

  4. Step 4

    Cheeks

    Dab a little on the apples of the cheeks and blend at once.

Do not use your fingers: the pigment stains skin. Patch-test first and keep it away from the eyes.

Building the shade

The first layer looks sheer. Wait a few seconds between layers so the stain can set.
