The Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour in Buff excels at delivering a natural, understated beauty look. Its unique formulation provides a soft-matte finish that feels comfortable, not dry, thanks to its balm-like texture.
To get the signature stained lip look:
Prep Lips: Ensure your lips are smooth and hydrated. Gently exfoliate if needed.
Apply Lightly: Swipe the lipstick once or twice directly onto your lips, then gently blot with a tissue.
Diffuse: Use your fingertip to softly tap and blur the edges, creating a diffused, natural effect.
For a slightly more pronounced color:
Apply one layer directly from the stick.
Blot gently.
Apply a second layer, focusing on the center of the lips. This helps build depth while maintaining the soft-matte finish.
The 'Buff' shade is perfect for:
No-makeup makeup days: Provides just enough color to enhance your natural lip tone.
Professional settings: Its subtle beige hue is appropriate and polished.
Pairing with bold eye looks: Allows your eyes to be the focus without competing.
This lipstick is ideal for those who prefer a more natural approach to lip color, valuing comfort and a modern, soft-focus aesthetic over bold, opaque coverage.
Using your Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour is straightforward:
Twist Up: Gently twist the base of the lipstick to reveal a small amount of product.
Apply Directly: For the easiest application, glide the lipstick directly onto your bare lips, starting from the center and moving outwards.
Layer as Desired: Apply one layer for a sheer stain, or build up with additional layers for more intense color payoff.
Lip Liner: For a more defined edge or to prevent feathering, you can pair this lipstick with a neutral or matching lip liner underneath.
Lip Gloss: While designed for a soft-matte finish, a dab of clear or coordinating gloss in the center of your lips can add dimension if desired.
Skin Tones: The 'Buff' shade is a versatile beige that complements a wide range of skin tones, offering a natural enhancement.
Temperature: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can alter its texture and stability.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect it from dust and contaminants.
Avoid Contamination: Do not share your lipstick with others to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of bacteria. If applying after illness, gently wipe the surface of the lipstick with a tissue or use a disposable applicator.
