Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 - Vivid Pink

Yes, this is a traditional pencil format and requires sharpening. Use a standard cosmetic pencil sharpener to maintain a precise tip for application.

Absolutely! The creamy formula and vibrant color of Vivid Pink allow it to be worn on its own as a matte lip color. For added comfort, you can top it with a clear gloss or balm.

For best results, lightly fill in your entire lip with the contour pencil. You can also lightly blot your lips after lining and before applying lipstick, or even set the lined area with a tiny amount of translucent powder.

You should use a cosmetic pencil sharpener designed for makeup pencils. Look for one with a sharp blade that provides a clean, smooth cut without splintering the pencil casing.

While the Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 boasts a long-lasting formula that resists transfer and fading, it is not specifically marketed as fully waterproof. It will withstand light drinking but may require touch-ups after eating, especially oily foods.

Generally, choose a lip contour that matches your natural lip color, your lipstick shade, or is one shade darker than your lipstick. The Vivid Pink shade is versatile for bold pinks and can be blended with other colors for custom looks.

Ensure your lips are exfoliated and well-moisturized before application. Apply a thin layer of lip balm, allow it to absorb, then blot any excess before lining. If the pencil itself seems dry, try sharpening off the very tip.

Use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener designed for makeup pencils. Rotate the pencil gently while sharpening to avoid excess pressure. Store the pencil in a cool environment; extreme heat can soften the core, making it prone to breakage. Apply with a light hand.

Ensure you are outlining just slightly inside or on your natural lip line, creating a clear barrier. For extra protection, try filling in the entire lip with the contour pencil before applying your lipstick. A light dusting of translucent powder over the lined area before lipstick can also help.

Lip product colors can vary based on your natural lip pigmentation and skin undertones. Try pairing it with different shades of lipstick or gloss. For a truer color, apply a thin layer of foundation or concealer to your lips as a base before applying the lip contour.
