THE ESSENCE: This nude immediately brings to mind the fascinating array of colours in a Frida Kahlo painting. Wear these delicate, bronze-inflected, woody-orange shades, which are interlaced with a hint of paprika-hued coppery red. A lightweight texture for a soft, luminous finish. THE PIGMENT: Cosmos – Cosmos sulphureus – belongs to the Asteraceae family and originates from Latin America, where it formed part of a long-standing tradition of textile expertise in pre-Colombian cultures. A treaty dating from 1703 about cloth dyeing in Quito reveals that its powerful, vivid yellow-orange pigment was used to colour wool. Venezuelans eat chocolate cosmos flowers in salads for their sweet flavour and medicinal hepatoprotective qualities.
