Performance & Real-World UseThe Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick in 07 Bouquet Nocturne is designed to deliver both striking color and lasting comfort.

The vibrant red shade, 'Bouquet Nocturne,' makes it ideal for evening events, special occasions, or simply adding a bold statement to your everyday look.For a Crisp, Defined Lip1. Prep Your Lips: Ensure lips are smooth and hydrated. Gently exfoliate if needed, then apply a light lip balm and blot off any excess.2. Define with Liner: For the boldest and most precise look, outline your lips with a matching red lip liner. This helps prevent feathering and creates a clean edge. You can also fill in your entire lip with liner for extended wear.3. Apply Lipstick: Starting from the center of your upper lip, apply the lipstick outwards towards the corners. Repeat on the lower lip. For more intensity, blot lightly with a tissue and apply a second layer.4. Blot (Optional): For a softer look and to help set the color, gently blot your lips with a tissue after the first application.Tips for Optimal Wear- Feathering Prevention: If you experience feathering, ensure you've used a lip liner and consider a clear lip primer around the lip line.- Layering: For maximum impact and wear time, apply a thin layer, blot, and then apply a second layer.- Touch-Ups: While long-lasting, a quick touch-up after eating or drinking can refresh the vibrant finish. Focus on reapplying to the center of the lips and blending outwards.- Day-to-Night: This shade is versatile. For a daytime look, apply a single, lighter coat and blot, or dab the color onto the center of your lips and blend with your finger for a stain effect. For evening, go for full, bold application.
