Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
There is no specific 'setup' required beyond unboxing and ensuring the product is in good condition upon receipt. Always check that the cap is securely fastened.
Compatibility:
- Lip Prep: Compatible with lip exfoliators and lightweight, non-oily lip primers or balms applied well in advance, ensuring lips are completely dry before lipstick application.
- Other Lip Products: Generally, long-wear liquid lip colours perform best when used on their own. Layering with thick glosses or oily balms on top may compromise their longevity. If a gloss is desired, ensure it is lightweight and applied sparingly after the lip colour has fully dried.
Care and Maintenance:
- Storage: Store the MAC Locked Kiss Ink 24Hr Lipcolour in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect product consistency and shelf life.
- Secure Cap: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its quality.
- Cleanliness: Keep the applicator clean and avoid contamination. Do not dilute the product with water or other substances.
- Expiration: Check for a 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol, typically a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M'), indicating how many months the product is good for after opening.
