Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Lip Preparation: For the smoothest application and best wear, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Gently blot any excess lip balm before applying lipstick.
Define and Fill: For precise application, consider using a lip liner in a matching red shade before applying the lipstick. This helps prevent feathering and defines your lip shape.
Direct Application or Brush: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet for a bold, full-coverage look. For more control and precision, especially around the cupid's bow and corners, use a lip brush.
Layering for Intensity (Optional): For even deeper color and extended wear, apply one coat, gently blot with a tissue, and then apply a second coat.
Blotting for True Matte (Optional): If you desire an even more velvety matte finish, gently blot your lips with a tissue after application.
This lipstick is ideal for daily wear or special occasions where you want a vibrant, long-lasting red lip that feels comfortable. Its non-feathering and non-bleeding properties make it reliable, even without a lip liner, though a liner can enhance precision. The hydrating formula ensures your lips remain nourished, countering the common drying effect of many matte lipsticks.
There is no complex setup required for this lipstick. Simply uncap and apply. For best results:
Prepare your lips: Ensure lips are clean, dry, and free from any residue. Gently exfoliate if needed to remove any dry skin.
Moisturize (optional): Apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot off any excess before applying the lipstick to create a smooth canvas without compromising the matte finish.
Skin Types: Compatible with all skin types.
Paired Products: Works well with MAC Prep + Prime Lip for enhanced wear and a smoother finish. Can be paired with a matching MAC lip liner for definition and to prevent feathering.
Other Makeup: This red lipstick can be the focal point of your makeup look, complementing minimal eye makeup or a classic winged eyeliner.
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and integrity.
Hygiene: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to keep it hygienic.
Cleaning: If the lipstick bullet becomes smudged, gently wipe the excess with a clean tissue. Avoid using water or solvents directly on the lipstick.
