Extended Product Information

Performance & Real-World Use The Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Honey Haze is engineered for all-day wear, providing a sophisticated matte look that stays vibrant. ### Application Tips 1. Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application, gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a light, non-greasy lip balm and allow it to absorb for a few minutes before blotting off any excess. 2. Define (Optional): For extra precision and to prevent feathering, outline your lips with a lip liner that matches the Honey Haze shade or your natural lip color. 3. Apply Directly: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. Repeat for the lower lip. 4. Use a Brush (Optional): For even greater precision, especially with the embossed design, use a lip brush to pick up color and apply it to your lips. This allows for a more controlled and refined finish. ### Throughout the Day The MatteTrance formula is designed to feel weightless and cushiony, preventing the common dryness associated with many matte lipsticks. It maintains a flawless finish, making it suitable for long events, professional settings, or simply daily wear. Whether you're speaking, smiling, or enjoying a meal (with some potential touch-up needed after oily foods), the Honey Haze shade will retain its rich color and elegant matte texture. ### Styling Options - Natural Chic: Pair Honey Haze with minimal eye makeup for an effortless, sophisticated everyday look. - Bold Statement: Combine the deep brown with a strong winged eyeliner or a smoky eye for a dramatic evening appearance. - Customizable Finish: While it's a matte lipstick, a dab of clear gloss in the center of your lips can add dimension for a different effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup There is no complex setup required for the Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick. Simply uncap and apply. ### Compatibility This lipstick is compatible with most standard lip care routines and makeup products. - Lip Primers: Can enhance wear time and smooth lip texture. - Lip Liners: Recommended for precise application and preventing feathering. - Other Lip Products: Can be layered with lip glosses or balms, though this may alter the matte finish. ### Care To ensure the longevity and quality of your lipstick: - Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Heat can alter the consistency and integrity of the product. - Hygiene: Always cap the lipstick tightly after each use to prevent it from drying out and to maintain hygiene. Avoid sharing your lipstick to prevent bacterial transfer. - Cleaning: If the outside of the bullet becomes smudged, gently wipe it with a clean, dry tissue. Avoid using water or harsh cleansers on the lipstick itself.
