The story
Long before blush and lipstick, the women of Fez used akar: a powder of plant pigments traditionally kept in small earthen pots. A touch with a damp fingertip gives cheeks and lips a natural flush.
It is Morocco's first make-up, and perhaps the most natural one: buildable, from a healthy glow to a deep red.
How to use
Lightly dampen a fingertip, touch the powder, then dab onto cheekbones or lips. Layer to intensify.
