Why the Aker Fassi Moroccan Clay Lip Stain Will Always Be On Trend

Chic, last-all-day colour for the ultimate red lip look…

The Moroccan clay lip stain, more commonly known as Aker Fassi, is a product made from poppy powder and pomegranate rind, which has been dried up in the sun and hardened into a terracotta pot. The pigment can then be dissolved by rubbing it with water or oil, and used as an all-natural lip and cheek tint, creating the most beautiful hue.

This ancient Moroccan beauty secret has been used for years by women in the region to create a natural glow and contains moisturising, softening, and antitoxin properties. While a trip to Morocco at a moment’s notice may not be feasible, Bazaar Arabia shares 5 different lip stains to help you achieve a similar look here…
