Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Prep Your Lips: For the smoothest application and best color payoff, ensure your lips are clean, exfoliated, and moisturized. Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub or soft toothbrush, then apply a light lip balm and blot off any excess before lipstick.
Apply Directly: For full intensity, apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards. Repeat for the lower lip.
Use a Lip Brush (Optional): For more precise application and defined edges, use a lip brush. This also helps in building up color evenly.
Blot and Reapply for Enhanced Longevity: For extra staying power, apply a layer, gently blot with a tissue, and then apply a second layer. This technique can help 'stain' the lips with color.
Pair with Lip Liner: To further define your lip shape and prevent feathering, use a lip liner in a matching or complementary shade before applying the lipstick.
This lipstick is suitable for various occasions, from a subtle daytime look by applying a single sheer layer and blotting, to a bold evening statement with multiple layers for full vibrancy. Its shine finish makes lips appear fuller and more luscious, perfect for adding a touch of glamour.
Applying your Clinique Pop Longwear Lipstick is straightforward.
Ensure Clean Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. For best results, gently exfoliate and moisturize beforehand.
Twist Up: Gently twist the base of the lipstick to reveal the desired amount of product.
Apply: Apply directly to your lips, following your natural lip line. Start from the center and work your way outwards.
Build Color: For more intense color, apply additional layers.
This lipstick is highly compatible with other lip products:
Lip Liners: Use a Clinique Quickliner For Lips or a similar liner to define your lip shape and prevent feathering.
Lip Glosses: For an even more high-shine look, you can layer a clear or complementary colored lip gloss over the lipstick.
Lip Balms: Always ensure lip balm is fully absorbed or blotted off before applying lipstick for optimal wear and color.
Proper care will help maintain the quality and longevity of your lipstick:
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (e.g., inside a hot car).
Keep Cap On: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect it from contaminants.
Avoid Contamination: Try to avoid sharing lipstick to maintain hygiene. If using with a brush, ensure the brush is clean.
Cleaning: If the exterior of the tube gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid getting water or cleaning solutions on the lipstick bullet itself.
