Pat McGrath Labs Lip Sculpt + Shade Contour Duo - Pink

Permalock Technology is the formulation that ensures the lip duo is smudge and transfer-proof, providing long-lasting wear without compromising comfort.

Yes, you can use any lip liner you prefer. However, the custom-paired liner is designed to complement the lipstick for optimal results and ease of application.

Depending on the specific design of the duo, the liner may be retractable or require a cosmetic sharpener. Check the packaging or product details for guidance. If it's a pencil format, use a sharpener designed for cosmetic pencils.

The formula contains moisturizing ingredients like avocado oil and pink purslane, which help prevent dryness. However, individual sensitivities can vary. A patch test is always recommended if you have very sensitive skin.

Thanks to the Permalock Technology, the product is designed for long-lasting wear. Actual wear time can vary based on eating, drinking, and other factors.

The liner has a soft matte finish, providing definition and staying power. The lipstick has a velvet-satin finish, offering rich color with a comfortable, slightly luminous feel.

Ensure the liner tip is slightly exposed and try a gentle, consistent pressure. If the formula has hardened, it may need to be sharpened (if applicable) or allowed to warm slightly against the skin.

Ensure lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. A thin layer of lip balm applied and blotted prior to lipstick can help. Check that the lipstick hasn't been exposed to air for too long, which can cause it to dry out.

Apply a lip liner to prime and enhance the color payoff. Build up the lipstick color with a second thin layer after the first has set slightly.

Gently twist or pull the respective ends. If resistance is met, avoid forcing it. Ensure there are no obstructions. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
