An Ancient Love Story Retold in Engraved Pigment

Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, or, Nymph of the Luo River (, luò shén fù), tells the love story between a man and a deity. Originally written as a poem by poet and prince Cao Zhi, the celebrated artist Gu Kaizhi was so moved by it that he chose to retell it through a magnificent silk handscroll.

A buttery smooth formula infused with extracts of Chondrus Crispus, Paeonia Suffruticosa, Calendula Officinalis, and pearl powder, these legendary palettes nourish as they beautify. Highly pigmented and reformulated for minimal fallout, these versatile talc-free palettes include shades that work perfectly as vivid shadows and stand-alone highlighters.

Terracotta Romance is a muted clay shade that's subtly romantic. Like the first amorous glance from across the room, it hints at something warmer and more passionate on the horizon. Encased in our iconic Love Lock case, it's the perfect everyday shade that enhances with a soft touch.

The Shape
Inspired by the beauty of exquisite folding fans and the goddess herself.
