A Note on Colour & Alchemy
Colour is never static. Shade appearance may shift depending on skin tone, undertone, lighting, and screen settings.
No Single Formula Rules All
Beauty is individual, and so is wear experience. Skin type, age, medications, climate, and even the season can influence how a formula performs. That’s why we offer carefully developed variations within our Lipstick range, allowing you to choose the finish and feel that best supports your spellwork.
Liquid Matte Lipstick
Our signature offering. A high-pigment liquid lipstick that dries down to a true matte finish with long-wearing, transfer-resistant performance. A coven favourite for good reason.
As with all VE Cosmetics creations, every lip relic in this collection is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, ethically conjured without compromise.
