The Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lipstick in Pink excels at delivering a bold, sophisticated lip statement. Its rich pigment ensures opaque color with just one or two swipes. The matte finish is modern and stylish, making it suitable for both professional settings and social events. While it offers good longevity, practical use often involves touching up after meals.
Everyday Elegance: For a subtle daytime look, apply a thin layer and blot. The pink shade adds a fresh touch without being overpowering.
Evening Glamour: For a more dramatic effect, apply directly from the bullet, build up layers, and consider pairing with a slightly deeper pink lip liner for definition.
Comfortable Wear: Users often report that despite its matte finish, this lipstick feels less drying than many other matte formulas, thanks to its 'Luxe' formulation. However, individual results may vary based on lip hydration.
Minimal Feathering: With proper application and lip preparation, this lipstick tends to stay within the lip line, reducing concerns about feathering.
Getting the most out of your Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lipstick involves a few simple steps for application and care.
Prepare Your Lips: Gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a hydrating lip balm, allowing it to absorb for a few minutes. Blot off any excess balm.
Define (Optional): For a crisp edge and to prolong wear, outline your lips with a pink or clear lip liner that matches your natural lip tone or the lipstick shade.
Apply Lipstick: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. Repeat on the lower lip.
Blot (Optional): For an even longer-lasting, more stained effect, gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application and then apply a second layer.
Lip Liners: Compatible with most lip liners. For a seamless look, choose a liner that matches the lipstick's pink shade or your natural lip color.
Lip Primers: Can be used with a lip primer underneath for enhanced longevity and a smoother base.
Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and prevent melting or drying out.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid sharing your lipstick. If applying with a brush, ensure the brush is clean.
Protection: Always retract the lipstick bullet fully before replacing the cap to prevent damage.
