Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the benefits and lifespan of your Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss, follow these guidelines for setup, compatibility, and ongoing care.
Setup
- First Use: Ensure the applicator is clean before initial application. Apply directly to bare, clean lips for a sheer look, or over a lip liner or lipstick for enhanced color and definition.
- Application Technique: For a delicate sheen, apply a single, thin layer. To achieve a more pronounced, fuller effect, apply a second layer, concentrating the gloss on the central areas of your lips.
Compatibility
- Lip Liners: This gloss pairs exceptionally well with neutral, pink, or 'Dusty Rose' toned lip liners. Using a liner can help define your lip shape and prevent the gloss from feathering outside the lip line.
- Lipsticks: It can be effortlessly layered over matte or satin lipsticks to introduce a glossy finish and add depth. For instance, apply over a brown-toned matte lipstick to create a unique custom shade with a luminous sheen.
- Other Products: The formula is designed to be compatible with other Anastasia Beverly Hills lip products, allowing for creative layering.
Care
- Storage: Keep your lip gloss stored upright in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to preserve its formula and consistency.
- Hygiene: To prevent contamination and maintain product purity, avoid sharing the applicator with others. Do not pump the applicator in and out of the tube excessively, as this can introduce air and bacteria.
- Shelf Life: Always refer to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol, typically found on the product packaging. For most lip glosses, this is usually 6 to 12 months. Discard the product if you notice any changes in scent, texture, or appearance.
