Description
Cool deep nude lipstick with a timeless editorial character
Some lip styles seem to have stepped straight out of a vintage fashion magazine — cool in tone, thoughtful in nuance, and with an understated character that sets them apart from common nudes. These are the colors you see in black-and-white photos from Parisian fashion houses, on the lips of women who weren’t trying to please but simply knew what they wanted.
Vintage Rose translates that aesthetic into a contemporary lipstick within the Delilah Colour Intense range. A deep nude with a cool undertone, somewhere between faded pink and muted terra — a shade that reveals something different in every light. The creamy formula makes this cool color wearable and comfortable, with Buriti oil and Vitamin E that nourish the lips during wear. Spherical polymers provide the velvety smooth glide-on that Delilah is known for, a feature awarded at the Woman & Home Beauty Awards 2023.
Color: A deep cool nude with a muted pink-brown undertone that gives a timeless, editorial look.

Active ingredients
Buriti oil (Mauritia Flexuosa): For cool nudes like Vintage Rose, hydration is especially important — cool tones tend to emphasize dryness on the lips more than warm ones. Buriti oil compensates for this with its rich content of oleic acid and beta-carotene, making the lips look nourished and healthy under the muted nude. The difference is noticeable in how naturally the shade appears throughout the day.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Protects the complex pigment mix of Vintage Rose against oxidation. With a shade that has nuanced undertones, color stability is crucial — small shifts due to oxidation can make the difference between a refined nude and a dull discoloration. Vitamin E keeps the shade exactly as intended throughout the day.
Spherical polymers: With nuanced shades like Vintage Rose, any irregularity in application is unforgivingly revealed. The spherical polymers ensure an ultra-even distribution of pigment over the lips, without spots or streaks, allowing the editorial quality of the shade to fully shine.
How to use it
- Exfoliate the lips beforehand to create a smooth surface for optimal color application
- Apply a lip balm and let it absorb briefly for minimal smoothness
- Line the lips with a cool lip pencil in pink-brown or taupe shade
- Apply Vintage Rose directly from the tube, working from the center to the corners
- Gently dab with a tissue and apply a second layer if a more intense pigment is desired

- Autumn and winter seasons when cooler tones look especially natural

Frequently asked questions
Does Vintage Rose also work with warm skin undertones?
Vintage Rose is distinctly cool, which requires more consideration with warm skin undertones. With neutral to slightly warm undertones, this shade can work beautifully as a conscious contrast — especially combined with a cool blush and minimalist makeup. For strongly warm undertones, Muse or Whisper would feel more natural, but Vintage Rose can also be used deliberately for an editorial effect.
How does Vintage Rose differ from Whisper, the other nude in the range?
Both are nudes but with different characters. Whisper is a warm beige nude that flatters universally and acts like a refined daytime color. Vintage Rose is cooler, deeper, and has a more pronounced character — more of a statement nude than a subtle shade. For those who like deliberate makeup choices, Vintage Rose is more interesting; for those seeking invisible refinement, Whisper is the choice.
Does Vintage Rose suit a professional setting or is it too bold?
Vintage Rose works well in professional settings, especially in creative, editorial, or fashion-related industries. In traditional business environments, the shade may come across as a bit more distinctive than a standard nude — not inappropriate, but intentional. In professional creative sectors, this characteristic nude is appreciated for its refined appearance.
