Achieving the Perfect Matte Lip:
To get the most out of your Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick, start with well-prepped lips. Exfoliate gently to remove any dry skin, then apply a light, non-oily lip balm and blot off any excess. This creates a smooth canvas for the lipstick.
Application for Intense Color:
Outline and Fill: Use the precise applicator to outline your lips, starting with your Cupid's bow and moving outwards. Then, fill in the rest of your lips with a thin, even layer.
Single Layer Focus: For maximum intensity and transfer-proof performance, aim for a single, thin coat. The formula is highly pigmented, so one layer is usually sufficient.
Allow to Dry: Allow the lipstick to dry completely for about 60 seconds without pressing your lips together. This is crucial for activating its transfer-proof properties and achieving the flawless matte finish.
Real-World Performance:
Meal & Drink Test: This lipstick is designed to withstand light eating and drinking with minimal fading, particularly in the center of the lips. For heavy or oily meals, some reapplication might be necessary.
Comfort Through the Day: Its lightweight nature makes it comfortable for extended wear, making it suitable for long events or workdays.
Layering: While best used in a thin layer, you can gently blot and reapply a second very thin layer if you desire even more intensity, ensuring each layer dries fully.
First-Time Use & Setup:
No special setup is required. Simply uncap the product, and it's ready for immediate use. For optimal performance, ensure your lips are clean and dry before application.
Compatibility:
Lip Liners: This liquid matte lipstick pairs well with a matching lip liner for enhanced precision and to prevent feathering.
Lip Prep Products: Use with non-oily lip exfoliators and lightweight lip balms for the best matte finish.
Other Lip Products: Avoid applying gloss or overly emollient products over the dried liquid matte lipstick, as this will compromise its matte finish and transfer-proof properties.
Product Care & Storage:
Storage: Store the lipstick upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and longevity.
Cleaning the Applicator: Gently wipe any excess product from the applicator tip on the tube opening before twisting the cap back on to prevent product buildup.
Hygiene: For personal hygiene, avoid sharing your lipstick. If the applicator becomes visibly dirty, do not wash it with water, as this can affect the formula. Instead, gently wipe it with a clean tissue.
Removal: To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover or cleansing balm. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and gently press onto your lips for a few seconds before wiping away. This helps dissolve the long-lasting formula without excessive rubbing.
