The MAC Locked Kiss Ink 24Hr Lipcolour is engineered for maximum staying power and vibrant color delivery. To achieve optimal performance, start with clean, dry lips. For precise application, you may wish to use a lip liner in a matching shade beforehand. Apply a thin, even layer of the lip colour, starting from the center of your lips and moving outwards. Allow it a few moments to set for its locked-in finish. Once set, you can expect the color to remain vibrant and intact through meals and drinks, significantly reducing the need for touch-ups throughout your day. This makes it an ideal choice for long events, busy days, or whenever you want your lip color to be the least of your worries. Its comfortable feel ensures that despite its durability, your lips won't feel heavy or dry.
Setup & Application:
Prepare Lips: Ensure lips are clean, dry, and free of any balm or oil. Gently exfoliate if needed for a smoother canvas.
Optional: Lip Liner: For ultimate precision and to prevent feathering, outline your lips with a MAC Lip Pencil in a complementary shade.
Apply Lipcolour: Using the applicator, apply a thin, even layer of the Locked Kiss Ink. Start from the center of your upper lip and follow the contours, then fill in the rest of your lips. Repeat for the lower lip.
Allow to Set: Let the lip colour dry completely without pressing your lips together. This allows the long-wear formula to lock into place.
Compatibility: This lip colour is designed to be worn alone for its full long-lasting effect. While it pairs well with MAC lip liners, applying glosses or other emollient products over it may compromise its 24-hour wear and transfer-resistant properties.
Care & Storage:
Storage: Store the lip colour upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, to maintain its formulation.
Cleaning Applicator: Wipe the applicator clean with a tissue before returning it to the tube if excess product builds up.
Removal: Due to its long-wearing formula, an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated long-wear lip product remover is recommended for effective and gentle removal at the end of the day. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and gently press it onto the lips for a few seconds before wiping away.
