Description

Alkanet Root infused into sunflower oil gives this stain its rich color and earthy scent, and includes just a touch of Rose Geranium essential oil. Rose Geranium is the herby version of rose, and is a generous and gorgeous plant often found growing in the windowsills of the most powerful grandmamamas.

Heads up, noses up! Some find the smell of Alkanet Root to be too earthy for their tastes—Alkanet has a earthy smell akin to Valerian Root. Give our Ruby Red Lip Stain a try for a similar hue, but with a citrusy scent!
.5 fl oz Ritual Dab on the apples of your cheeks and apply to lips for just the right pop of natural color. Shelf Life Lasts 6 months. Store in a cool and dry place. Our products are organic and freshly made-to-order skin food. We do not use toxins that make things last forever.

I love this stain! It's been my new everyday go to since it arrived. It gives my lips the perfect amount of life-giving color. It's subtle, but still makes an impact. When I first got it, the scent was too strong/overpowering for me, but I think it's mellowed out since then..or maybe I got used to it lol I do have to reapply if I'm eating or drinking, but I don't mind that much.

Review by Amy L. on 20 Dec 2022 review stating Perfect for a natural boost
I have been wanting to try the lip and cheek stain for a while, and wish I wouldn’t have waited. This stain perfectly blends into the skin to create a lovely natural sun kissed look on my cheekbones (in the middle of winter). For days I have a zoom meeting, blending the stain with some gloss helps me feel put together. FATM for the win again!

My Holy Grain for minimalist makeup
Review by Kristen S. on 15 Dec 2022 review stating My Holy Grain for minimalist makeup
I am a tired mom lawyer, and I don't always feel up to putting on a full face (OK, I rarely feel up to wearing a full-face), and Lip and Cheek Stain does a great job on those days that I want a little glow-up and color. It's easy to pop on in the mirror in the car and refresh throughout the day. I like that it's sheer and buildable color. If you're thinking about it, I'd give this a try .

A daily ritual
Review by Ivy A. on 4 Mar 2022 review stating A daily ritual
I’ve used this lip & cheek stain religiously since I first discovered it 5+ years ago. The consistency is perfect — moisturizing and blendable without ever being sticky or greasy. I really like the earthy scent. And the color is just perfect for giving me that just-kissed pink glow. I’ve tried other lip & cheek stains from brands that rely on icky chemicals, and those always dry out my lips or clog the pores on my face. With F & M’s lip and cheek stain, I get a quality stain with great color that is also good for my skin. I always keep one on me in my bag or purse since you will want to reapply throughout the day.

Beautiful Color, Consistency and Scent
Review by Kathryn F. on 10 Feb 2022 review stating Beautiful Color, Consistency and Scent
I have been searching for a perfect lip/cheek stain and finally found it. The color is lovely and natural with a subtle pop which can be layered darker if desired. The product stays in place while adding a little shine. I have fair and sensitive skin and this has helped my lips stay happier in cold weather and adds zero complication to my face skin! I am very scent sensitive and while this has a scent, it is not intrusive. I find it pleasant, even soothing- somehow herbal and earthy like a good tea. I plan to gift it to some friends and continue using it myself. I recommend it highly! I also want to add the appreciation for the plastic free product, which is super important to me and for the earth!

I wear it to feel pretty when I’m at my grittiest. I like that under my mask is a fresh rosey set of lips. I really like it’s aroma too. It feels like I’m communicating with the flowers of my world, here in New Mexico. I also had an address snafoo and almost didn’t get the package.

Beautiful Color but Smell is too Strong
Review by Kristina T. on 19 Jan 2022 review stating Beautiful Color but Smell is too Strong
Like the title, I really love the color of this stain and the texture is nice. It melts into the skin beautifully and adds a very natural flush. However, the smell of the product is very strong and floral. I have a hard time with this, especially as it goes right under my nose on the lip. Because of this, I don't think it is something I will repurchase.

Review by kaitlyn z. on 15 Nov 2021 review stating An everyday product for me!
I had tried other 2-1 but this one takes the cake! I don’t like too much gloss or too dry either if that makes any sense, but i felt the balance was just right! I also really enjoyed the stain and how natural yet buildable it can be.. I’d also like to include that i am particularly picky about the shade of Pink i apply on my lips. I don’t feel there’s many shades that actually compliment me however i felt this one was just right! I ofc can not forget to mention the aroma! I’m not a huge fan of rose, however i have found to enjoy it and i feel it adds to the experience in all honestly. If your looking for something natural this is it!

I’m obsessed with this color. It’s perfect for lips and cheeks. I like how you can build it up or wear it really sheer. I think it’s the perfect amount of color to add some thing fun to your day- especially if you’re like me and don’t wear makeup all that often. I also really like the smell and appreciate the ingredients to feel good about putting it on my skin. (especially so close to my mouth!)

Low waste makeup! 💄 Like many other consumable products, there are quite a few low-waste swaps available for makeup products. This post isn't a paid ad, so feel free to do a little research and find a product that works for you, this is just what I do! I am still working through a plastic bottle of make-up remover, but once it's done I will be looking for a low waste swap (or make my own). I also have a couple super simple makeup remover pads that I made out of some old clothing, even if you barely have any sewing skills it's so easy to make your own! . I don't wear much makeup and I don't wear it often, so tossing out old, unused makeup that has gone bad was something I really wanted to stop doing. I got a subtlbeauty stack which is great because it is small, compact, and customizable to give me what I need. No more spending $$$ on large foundation bottles that I end up tossing because I could never use that much! . Another product I love is my fatandthemoon lip and cheek stain. It comes in a cute little tin and I can get it locally from molloyssoap! I also try and use sustainable or solid perfume to reduce the number of bottles I have. . Finally my nakedswab is something I am so glad I made the switch to. I debated between the impacts of a bamboo or sustainable swab and a reusable silicone one, and opted for silicone. It was about 12$ from molloyssoap and it will last me a life-time. Swipe to see the second photo to see what you get: a smooth swab with a rounded and pointed end (good for makeup) and a textured swab as well. Super easy to use and clean. . . . #lowwaste #imperfectzerowaste #sustainable #thrifty #wastefree #wastefreeliving #wastefreeplanet #secondhandfirst #lowwasteliving #lowwastejourney #makeup #lowwastemakeup

This is the perfect shade for my light skin tone! I love doing a "rosy cheeks" makeup look, and this is a very creamy, moisturizing and buildable product. The scent is not very strong, and I love that the ingredients are natural and eco friendly. Tip: the was I use this is by taking a beauty blender, swirling some of the stain onto it, and dabbing onto the apples of my cheeks. I highly recommend trying this!

This stain is like a balm with deep berry color that is light but somewhat buildable. The smell is lovely and the color suits my light/cool undertone skin color well. I usually can’t be bothered with lipstick so this is a great alternative! It also looks lovely s blush high on the Face / cheek bones. The consistency is very nice and it glides on smooth.

Nourishing glow
Review by Melissa G. on 9 Aug 2020 review stating Nourishing glow
I have always used powder blushes, so didn’t know if I’d like this. I love it! When you apply it to your cheeks, it gives a nice healthy, dewy glow - it feels like healthy essential oil-based moisturizer more than makeup. And the scent is amazing - especially the rose geranium. I tap some pressed powder on top for a matte finish. For lips, it shows really light color, so I often use as a base under, or gloss over, Hecate Lip Paint.

Description
Alkanet Root infused into sunflower oil gives this stain its rich color and earthy scent, and includes just a touch of Rose Geranium essential oil. Rose Geranium is the herby version of rose, and is a generous and gorgeous plant often found growing in the windowsills of the most powerful grandmamamas.

Heads up, noses up! Some find the smell of Alkanet Root to be too earthy for their tastes—Alkanet has a earthy smell akin to Valerian Root. Give our Ruby Red Lip Stain a try for a similar hue, but with a citrusy scent!
Ritual
Dab on the apples of your cheeks and apply to lips for just the right pop of natural color.
Plant Profiles
The rich magenta roots of Alkanet are slow infused into nutrient laden Sunflower oil. Rose Geranium essential oil harmonizes floral with Alkanet's earthiness.

FAQ
What gives Lip and Cheek Stain its herbaceous smell?
That would be the Alkanet! Known for the rich red dye extracted from ruby roots, Alkanet has been used in food, medicine and textiles for millenia. This plant has a distinctive aromatic pungency, but we find its wine-red hues are worth the multi-dimensional scent.

Two in one game changer
Review by Kaitlin B. on 18 May 2023 review stating Two in one game changer
This lip and cheek stain is amazing! Not only is it light, but the color stays and looks like a natural blush when applied to the cheeks. I love that you can use it two ways!

This is pretty great. Hydrating and beautiful color. Doesn't last super long and the sharp berry astringent smell takes getting used to.

Perfect for a natural boost
Review by Amy L. on 20 Dec 2022 review stating Perfect for a natural boost
I have been wanting to try the lip and cheek stain for a while, and wish I wouldn’t have waited. This stain perfectly blends into the skin to create a lovely natural sun kissed look on my cheekbones (in the middle of winter). For days I have a zoom meeting, blending the stain with some gloss helps me feel put together. FATM for the win again!

Review by Rebecca B. on 15 Dec 2022 review stating Nice color
This las a lovely smell and consistency. I don't usually wear any color on my cheeks due to some rosacea on one side, but now I can even out the look! It has a nice subtle color on the lips. I put a stripe on my hand for reference.

My Holy Grain for minimalist makeup
Review by Kristen S. on 15 Dec 2022 review stating My Holy Grain for minimalist makeup
I am a tired mom lawyer, and I don't always feel up to putting on a full face (OK, I rarely feel up to wearing a full-face), and Lip and Cheek Stain does a great job on those days that I want a little glow-up and color. It's easy to pop on in the mirror in the car and refresh throughout the day. I like that it's sheer and buildable color. If you're thinking about it, I'd give this a try .

A daily ritual
Review by Ivy A. on 4 Mar 2022 review stating A daily ritual
I’ve used this lip & cheek stain religiously since I first discovered it 5+ years ago. The consistency is perfect — moisturizing and blendable without ever being sticky or greasy. I really like the earthy scent. And the color is just perfect for giving me that just-kissed pink glow. I’ve tried other lip & cheek stains from brands that rely on icky chemicals, and those always dry out my lips or clog the pores on my face. With F & M’s lip and cheek stain, I get a quality stain with great color that is also good for my skin. I always keep one on me in my bag or purse since you will want to reapply throughout the day.

Beautiful Color, Consistency and Scent
Review by Kathryn F. on 10 Feb 2022 review stating Beautiful Color, Consistency and Scent
I have been searching for a perfect lip/cheek stain and finally found it. The color is lovely and natural with a subtle pop which can be layered darker if desired. The product stays in place while adding a little shine. I have fair and sensitive skin and this has helped my lips stay happier in cold weather and adds zero complication to my face skin! I am very scent sensitive and while this has a scent, it is not intrusive. I find it pleasant, even soothing- somehow herbal and earthy like a good tea. I plan to gift it to some friends and continue using it myself. I recommend it highly! I also want to add the appreciation for the plastic free product, which is super important to me and for the earth!

I wanted to get something nice for myself. I work outside. On a homestead project. I started to feel worn down and depleted, myself but rough around the edges. This lip stain is just for me. I wear it to feel pretty when I’m at my grittiest. I like that under my mask is a fresh rosey set of lips. I really like it’s aroma too. It feels like I’m communicating with the flowers of my world, here in New Mexico. I also had an address snafoo and almost didn’t get the package. I am so thankful that you went out of your way to correct my mistake and get my much needed self care package to a dirty desert girl.

Beautiful Color but Smell is too Strong
Review by Kristina T. on 19 Jan 2022 review stating Beautiful Color but Smell is too Strong
Like the title, I really love the color of this stain and the texture is nice. It melts into the skin beautifully and adds a very natural flush. However, the smell of the product is very strong and floral. I have a hard time with this, especially as it goes right under my nose on the lip. Because of this, I don't think it is something I will repurchase.

An everyday product for me!
Review by kaitlyn z. on 15 Nov 2021 review stating An everyday product for me!
I had tried other 2-1 but this one takes the cake! I don’t like too much gloss or too dry either if that makes any sense, but i felt the balance was just right! I also really enjoyed the stain and how natural yet buildable it can be.. I’d also like to include that i am particularly picky about the shade of Pink i apply on my lips. I don’t feel there’s many shades that actually compliment me however i felt this one was just right! I ofc can not forget to mention the aroma! I’m not a huge fan of rose, however i have found to enjoy it and i feel it adds to the experience in all honestly. If your looking for something natural this is it!

Review by Josie M. on 4 Jun 2021 review stating Adds something special
I’m obsessed with this color. It’s perfect for lips and cheeks. I like how you can build it up or wear it really sheer. I think it’s the perfect amount of color to add some thing fun to your day- especially if you’re like me and don’t wear makeup all that often. I also really like the smell and appreciate the ingredients to feel good about putting it on my skin. (especially so close to my mouth!)

Low waste makeup! 💄 Like many other consumable products, there are quite a few low-waste swaps available for makeup products. This post isn't a paid ad, so feel free to do a little research and find a product that works for you, this is just what I do! I am still working through a plastic bottle of make-up remover, but once it's done I will be looking for a low waste swap (or make my own). I also have a couple super simple makeup remover pads that I made out of some old clothing, even if you barely have any sewing skills it's so easy to make your own! . I don't wear much makeup and I don't wear it often, so tossing out old, unused makeup that has gone bad was something I really wanted to stop doing. I got a subtlbeauty stack which is great because it is small, compact, and customizable to give me what I need. No more spending $$$ on large foundation bottles that I end up tossing because I could never use that much! . Another product I love is my fatandthemoon lip and cheek stain. It comes in a cute little tin and I can get it locally from molloyssoap! I also try and use sustainable or solid perfume to reduce the number of bottles I have. . Finally my nakedswab is something I am so glad I made the switch to. I debated between the impacts of a bamboo or sustainable swab and a reusable silicone one, and opted for silicone. It was about 12$ from molloyssoap and it will last me a life-time. Swipe to see the second photo to see what you get: a smooth swab with a rounded and pointed end (good for makeup) and a textured swab as well. Super easy to use and clean. . . . #lowwaste #imperfectzerowaste #sustainable #thrifty #wastefree #wastefreeliving #wastefreeplanet #secondhandfirst #lowwasteliving #lowwastejourney #makeup #lowwastemakeup

This is the perfect shade for my light skin tone! I love doing a "rosy cheeks" makeup look, and this is a very creamy, moisturizing and buildable product. The scent is not very strong, and I love that the ingredients are natural and eco friendly. Tip: the was I use this is by taking a beauty blender, swirling some of the stain onto it, and dabbing onto the apples of my cheeks. I highly recommend trying this!

This stain is like a balm with deep berry color that is light but somewhat buildable. The smell is lovely and the color suits my light/cool undertone skin color well. I usually can’t be bothered with lipstick so this is a great alternative! It also looks lovely s blush high on the Face / cheek bones. The consistency is very nice and it glides on smooth.

Nourishing glow
Review by Melissa G. on 9 Aug 2020 review stating Nourishing glow
I have always used powder blushes, so didn’t know if I’d like this. I love it! When you apply it to your cheeks, it gives a nice healthy, dewy glow - it feels like healthy essential oil-based moisturizer more than makeup. And the scent is amazing - especially the rose geranium. I tap some pressed powder on top for a matte finish. For lips, it shows really light color, so I often use as a base under, or gloss over, Hecate Lip Paint.
