The Magic Moroccan Lipstick: your own shade of red for every skin tone

The Magic Moroccan Lipstick gets its color from the pH of your skin, giving everyone their own unique shade of red. Read here what the product does and how to use it.

Of all the beauty products in Moroccan tradition, one is the most astonishing: the Magic Moroccan Lipstick. A lipstick that looks like a classic in a gold tube, but whose color looks different on everyone. In this article, you will read why that is and how best to use the lipstick.

Why is it called magic?

The Magic Moroccan Lipstick changes color as soon as it comes into contact with your lips. This is due to the reaction between the ingredients of the lipstick and the pH level of your skin: for one person, the lipstick takes on a deep red hue, while for another, it gains a softer pink glow. Therefore, there is no fixed color, but always a shade that suits your own skin. It also ensures that the color looks natural, as if your lips have that glow of their own.

Where does the tint come from?

The dye in these types of lipsticks often comes from aker fassi, the Moroccan combination of powdered pomegranate peel and the root of the cochineal insect, which has been used for centuries to give lips and cheeks a natural red glow.

How to use the Magic Lipstick

Using it is simple: apply the lipstick as you would any lipstick, from the center of the upper lip outwards. Within moments, the color that suits your skin will appear. The lipstick works best on dry, clean lips, and because of the natural dye, you can safely touch it up multiple times a day. With the Magic Moroccan Lipstick from Marocstore, you have a classic in your bag that is suitable for any moment: from a day at work to a festive evening.

What to look out for?

Test the lipstick on a small area first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
The color only develops once the lipstick is on your lips, so trust the result and not the color in the tube.
If you want to make the color more intense, apply the lipstick in layers.
Store the lipstick in a dry place so that it retains its structure.
