Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Liner is designed for high performance in various applications.
Prepare Your Lips: Ensure lips are clean and dry. For smoother application, you can lightly moisturize and blot excess.
Outline Your Lip Shape: Starting from your Cupid's bow, draw a line following the natural curve of your upper lip. Repeat for the other side. For the lower lip, start from the center and work outwards.
Correcting and Enhancing: Use the liner to subtly correct any unevenness or to slightly overline for a fuller appearance, blending outwards naturally.
Line and Fill: After outlining your lips, gently fill in the entire lip area with the lip liner. This creates an even base.
Blend Evenly: You can use a lip brush or your fingertip to lightly blend the liner across your lips, ensuring no harsh lines remain.
Layer Lip Product: Apply your desired lipstick, lip gloss, or lip balm over the top. The liner acts as a gripping base, extending the wear time of your lip color and preventing feathering.
Sharpen Regularly: A sharp point ensures the most precise application.
Light Pressure: Apply with light, even pressure for a smooth line and to prevent breakage.
Match or Complement: For best results, pair Plum Passion with a matching plum or berry lipstick, or a complementary nude for a softer look.
Wear Alone: The highly pigmented formula allows it to be worn on its own for a matte, long-lasting color.
Before your first use, ensure you have a good quality cosmetic pencil sharpener. The lip liner is ready to use directly from the packaging.
Lipsticks: This lip liner is highly compatible with all types of lipsticks, from matte to satin to creamy finishes. It helps prevent lipstick from bleeding or feathering.
Lip Glosses: Provides a defined edge for lip glosses and can be used underneath to add color depth.
Lip Balms: Can be worn over a nourishing lip balm, or the liner itself can be a base under balm for tinted hydration.
Sharpening: Use a cosmetic pencil sharpener. For a cleaner, sharper point and to prevent breakage, you can place the lip liner in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before sharpening.
Storage: Keep the lip liner capped tightly when not in use to prevent the tip from drying out or getting damaged. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its creamy texture.
