Lipstick Red is a dark opaque cadmium red borosilicate glass, sitting a few shades deeper than Red Crayon and just below Sangria on the GA palette.

It’s the go-to for lampworking when you want a richer, darker red without crossing into burgundy territory.

Like other Crayon colors, it holds its density and color well across applications, maintaining strong saturation even when pulled thin in blown and sculptural work.

Part of the Glass Alchemy Crayon collection.

Working Tip: Pre-heat in outer flame. Avoid rapid heating.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

A few shades deeper than GA Red Crayon, this opaque and luscious red bridges the gap between the truest red in the GA palette and GA Sangria. Lipstick has a density and holds its color extremely well when blown out thin or drawn down to a very thin stringer. Slightly stiffer in working characteristics than some of the lighter crayon colors, Lipstick should be worked an inch or two out in the flame further than your most common working area as to let the heat soak into the color slower and saturate the core. When color layer is not encased and at least 3mm thick the finish will be smooth, slick and rich. Compliment this color with GA Turquoise.
