Its matte finish provides a contemporary and refined look, suitable for both professional environments and special occasions. The rich pigmentation means you can achieve full, vibrant color with minimal effort, often in a single pass.
Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application and to prevent accentuating dry spots, gently exfoliate your lips and apply a thin layer of lip balm a few minutes before applying the lipstick. Blot off any excess balm.
Precise Application: You can apply the lipstick directly from the bullet for a bold look. For more precision, especially with the matte finish, consider using a lip brush.
Define with Liner (Optional): To further enhance definition and help prevent feathering, outline your lips with a complementary lip liner before applying the lipstick.
Building Intensity: While typically opaque in one swipe, you can layer for even deeper color if desired.
Real-World Application: This lipstick performs exceptionally well for long events, where touch-ups might be inconvenient. Its matte nature helps it adhere well, making it a reliable choice for daily wear when you want a defined and long-lasting lip, or for evening glamour when paired with a more elaborate makeup look. Expect minimal transfer under normal conditions, though reapplication may be needed after oily meals.
Using your Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lipstick is straightforward. No complex setup is required. Simply twist up the product from the tube and apply directly to your lips.
Lip Primers: For enhanced longevity and a smoother base, use a dedicated lip primer underneath.
Lip Liners: Pair with a coordinating lip liner (e.g., a 'sandwash pink' or neutral tone) to define the lip line, prevent feathering, and extend wear.
Lip Balms: While a matte finish, a thin layer of a non-oily lip balm applied and blotted off before lipstick application can improve comfort, especially for drier lips.
Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (e.g., hot cars). Excessive heat can alter the product's consistency and lead to melting or breakage.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the bullet from damage.
Avoid Over-Twisting: Only twist up the amount of product you need for application to reduce the risk of breakage.
