The NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil in Bloom excels at creating a defined and polished lip look. Its creamy consistency allows for a smooth and effortless glide, making it easy to trace the natural curve of your lips or create a slightly over-lined effect for a fuller appearance. Users will find it effective in preventing lipstick and gloss from feathering or bleeding into fine lines around the mouth, especially with creamier or sheerer formulations.
For optimal performance, ensure your lips are prepped and smooth. The 'Bloom' pink shade works wonderfully as a base under various pink or even coral lipsticks, intensifying their color and extending their wear. You can also fill in your entire lip with this pencil before applying a matching lipstick or gloss for a more vibrant, opaque, and longer-lasting result. This technique also ensures that even as your top coat fades, a consistent color remains underneath. Its long-lasting formula means fewer touch-ups throughout the day, providing confidence in your lip look from morning to night.
Prepare Your Lips: Ensure your lips are clean, exfoliated, and moisturized. A light balm can be applied and blotted away before liner application for a smoother canvas.
Sharpen: For the most precise line, always start with a freshly sharpened pencil. Use a dedicated cosmetic sharpener to achieve a fine point.
Apply: Begin by outlining your Cupid's bow, then move to the outer corners, connecting the lines. Repeat for the bottom lip.
Lipstick and Lip Gloss: This lip pencil is designed to be compatible with virtually all types of lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, and lip glosses. Its creamy formula allows for seamless layering.
Color Matching: The 'Bloom' pink shade is versatile and pairs well with a wide range of pink, rose, and even light red or coral lip products. Experiment to find your perfect match.
Sharpening: Use a high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener regularly to maintain a sharp point. This prevents product waste and ensures precision. Clean your sharpener after each use.
Storage: Store the lip pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent drying out or softening. Keep the cap securely on to protect the tip and prevent contamination.
Hygiene: For sanitary reasons, avoid sharing your lip pencil with others.
