NYX Professional Makeup Shine Loud High Shine Lip Gloss - Red

Yes, when applied correctly, allowing the base color to fully dry for 90 seconds before adding the clear gloss, the formula is designed to be completely transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and kiss-proof.

Due to its long-lasting and transfer-proof nature, it's best removed with an oil-based makeup remover or cleansing balm. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and gently press it onto your lips for a few seconds before wiping away.

You can, but the base color is primarily designed to be a long-wearing, transfer-proof layer. For optimal comfort, hydration, and the signature 'wet-look' shine, applying the clear gloss top coat is recommended as it seals the color and provides conditioning benefits.

Despite its long-wear capabilities, the formula is designed to feel lightweight. The clear top coat is infused with nourishing oils like Vitamin E, Macadamia Seed Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil to help keep lips hydrated and prevent dryness, promoting a comfortable feel.

For best transfer-proof results, apply the base color directly to clean, dry lips. If you use a lip liner, ensure it is also long-wearing and apply it before the base coat. Avoid applying traditional balms or primers underneath as they can interfere with the product's longevity.

Ensure the base color coat has fully dried for at least 90 seconds before applying the clear gloss top coat. Applying the gloss too soon can disrupt the formula's setting process and lead to stickiness. Also, apply a thin, even layer of the clear gloss.

Apply the base color to clean, dry lips free of any other products. Allow the base coat to dry completely and undisturbed for the recommended 90 seconds. Avoid pressing or rubbing lips together until both steps are fully set. Richer or oily foods can sometimes impact the wear time, so be mindful during meals.

For the base color, ensure you're applying an even layer across the entire lip surface. Use the precise applicator tip for defining edges. If lips are chapped or dry, exfoliate gently before application to create a smooth canvas.
