How to Use for Optimal Results:
Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized. Gently blot any excess lip balm before applying the liner.
Define Your Cupid's Bow: Start by drawing an 'X' at the center of your cupid's bow to create a sharp peak.
Line the Upper Lip: Connect the 'X' to the outer corners of your upper lip, following your natural lip line or slightly over-lining for a fuller effect.
Line the Lower Lip: Start from the center of your lower lip and draw outwards towards the corners, connecting with the upper lip line.
Contouring (Optional): For added dimension, subtly darken the outer corners and the natural shadow areas of your lips.
Full Lip Base (for extended wear): For long-lasting, velvety-matte lips, fill in your entire lip with the liner. This creates a strong base for your lipstick and can be worn alone for a true matte look.
Pairing: This Deep Taupe shade is versatile. Pair it with nude, brown, or even deep red lipsticks for added depth and to prevent feathering. It specifically pairs well with Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte & Satin Velvet Lipsticks to create a seamless, cohesive look.
The liner's long-lasting properties ensure your lip color stays put, making it an excellent choice for extended wear during events or busy days. Its non-slippery formula also helps in precise application, reducing the chance of mistakes.
No complex setup is required. The lip liner is ready for immediate use. For best application, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and optionally prepped with a light lip balm before application.
Lipsticks: This lip liner is designed to pair seamlessly with a wide range of lipsticks, especially Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte & Satin Velvet Lipsticks. Its versatile Deep Taupe shade complements various nude, brown, and even deeper berry or red tones.
Skin Tones: The Deep Taupe shade is generally flattering across various skin tones, offering a natural yet defined look.
Sharpening: Info needed: If this is a traditional wooden pencil, use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to maintain a fine tip. A dull tip can lead to less precise application. Gently rotate the pencil during sharpening.
Storage: Store the lip liner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent the formula from hardening or melting.
Hygiene: To maintain hygiene, avoid sharing your lip liner. If using on clients, always sharpen between uses and sanitize the tip. Replace after its recommended shelf life (typically 12-24 months after opening, indicated by a PAO symbol).
