Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and Application
- Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest matte finish, gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin. Apply a thin layer of lip balm and allow it to absorb for a few minutes, then blot off any excess before applying the lipstick.
- Outline: Using the pointed tip of the MatteTrance Lipstick bullet, carefully define your cupid's bow and the outer corners of your lips. This creates a clean edge and helps prevent feathering.
- Fill In: Rotate the lipstick slightly to utilize the bevelled edge. Starting from the center of your lips, fill in the color, moving outwards. The rich pigmentation means one swipe often provides full coverage.
- Refine (Optional): For a perfectly crisp line, use a small, flat brush with a tiny amount of concealer around the edges of your lips.
Compatibility
This lipstick pairs exceptionally well with a matching lip liner for enhanced definition and to prolong wear. While designed for a matte look, it can also be topped with a clear or sheer lip gloss for a customized satin or dewy finish, transforming its texture without compromising the base color.
Care
- Storage: Keep your MatteTrance Lipstick stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can alter its unique oil-infused formula and texture.
- Protection: Always ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the bullet from damage.
