Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Prep Your Lips: For the best matte finish and wear, ensure lips are smooth and hydrated. Gently exfoliate if needed, and apply a light lip balm a few minutes before, blotting off any excess.
Apply Directly: The lipstick is designed for smooth, effortless application directly from the tube. Start from the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth.
Fill In: Glide the lipstick across the entire bottom lip. One swipe typically provides full coverage due to its ultra-pigmented formula.
Blot (Optional for Matte): For an even more precise and long-wearing matte finish, gently blot with a tissue after the first layer, then apply a second thin layer if desired.
Touch-Ups: While designed for 8-hour wear, minor touch-ups might be needed after eating or drinking, especially for the inner part of the lips.
Real-World Scenarios:
Office Wear: The long-wear formula means less distraction with touch-ups during work hours.
Evening Events: Its bold, full-coverage color makes it ideal for making a statement at social gatherings.
Daily Essential: For those who love a pop of color, its comfortable wear makes it suitable for everyday use without feeling heavy or drying.
