Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Lip Stain Brazen 3,25ml

Deep plum matte liquid lipstick with safflower oil and vitamin E

The deep plum matte has something cinematic and timeless — it evokes associations with wine evenings, autumn landscapes, and the statement lip colors of modern fashion editorials. This intense dark purple-red is especially favored by women who choose a bold, dramatic evening lip color that combines character with long-lasting durability. The Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Lip Stain Brazen translates that moody, sophisticated look into a long-lasting, nourishing liquid formula.

Brazen is a deep plum matte with a saturated dark purple-red undertone that gives the lips a moody, cinematic, and dramatic statement look. The formula offers intense single-pass pigmentation, is feather-proof, smudge-proof, and transfer-proof, and contains plant-based safflower oil and vitamin E to condition and protect the lips from dryness. A subtle Tahitian vanilla scent makes wearing it comfortable throughout the day. The Jane Iredale lip stain Brazen is one of the newer shades in the line and works exceptionally well in fall and winter looks where saturated dark colors carry the seasonal palette.

Color: a deep plum matte with a saturated dark purple-red undertone that gives the lips a moody, cinematic, and dramatic statement look.

Benefits

• Intense single-pass matte pigmentation that lasts all day without feathering
• Visually sculpts the lip shape thanks to the deep dark pigmentation
• Feather-proof, smudge-proof, and transfer-proof — no residue on glasses or clothing
• Plant-based safflower oil conditions and protects against dryness
• Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant for extra lip protection

Active ingredients

Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil: Safflower oil is a plant-based oil rich in linoleic acid and soothing fatty acids. In the Jane Iredale lip stain Brazen, this oil ensures that the intense dark matte formula does not dry out the lips — crucial for a saturated shade where comfort is often sacrificed for durability.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A powerful antioxidant that protects the lips from free radicals caused by UV and air pollution. Vitamin E supports the barrier function of the thin lip skin and helps balance the effect of the intense dark pigments.

Vanilla Tahitensis Fruit Extract: Tahitian vanilla gives the stain its subtle, pleasant scent. More than just a sensory addition, the vanilla fragrance also feels slightly soothing, making repeated application on matte formulas comfortable.

Isododecane: This light, fast-drying ingredient is the vehicle that evenly distributes Brazen’s intense dark pigments and quickly dries to a smooth matte finish without forming sticky or thick layers.

Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer: This film-forming polymer creates the characteristic feather-proof and transfer-proof layer on the lips. It is the reason the Jane Iredale beyond matte lip stain Brazen lasts for hours without marking on glasses, teeth, or clothing — crucial for dark shades that would otherwise bleed quickly.

How to use

1. Ensure well-hydrated, exfoliated lips as a base — dryness accentuates with dark matte formulas

3. Apply the Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Lip Stain Brazen with the ergonomic applicator in one even stroke
4. Let dry for 30 to 60 seconds until a full matte finish is achieved — avoid rubbing lips during this drying process
5. Optionally finish with a ColorLuxe High Impact Lip Glaze in Cherry Noir or Crystal for extra hydration and shine, or wear solo for a pure dramatic matte statement look
