Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Application
- Prepare Lips: For the smoothest application and best wear, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and gently exfoliated. Apply a thin layer of lip balm, allow it to absorb for a minute, then blot off any excess before applying the lipstick.
- Load Applicator: Remove the arrow applicator from the tube, wiping off any excess product on the rim if necessary.
- Outline: Use the pointed tip of the arrow applicator to carefully outline your cupid's bow and the outer edges of your lips.
- Fill In: Use the wider, flat side of the applicator to fill in the rest of your lips with color.
- Let Set: Keep your lips separated and allow the lipstick to dry completely for 2-5 minutes to ensure maximum longevity and transfer-proof performance. Avoid pressing your lips together during this time.
Compatibility
This liquid lipstick is generally compatible with most lip primers and lip liners. For best results, use a lip primer designed to enhance matte lipstick wear. Due to its long-lasting nature, it's not ideal for layering with other liquid lipsticks, but it pairs well with lip liners of a similar red shade.
Care & Removal
- Storage: Store the lipstick upright at room temperature to prevent leakage and maintain formula integrity.
- Cleaning: Keep the neck of the tube clean to ensure the cap seals properly.
- Removal: Due to its 16-hour, transfer-proof formula, this lipstick requires an oil-based makeup remover. Apply a generous amount of an oil-based cleanser or micellar water formulated for waterproof makeup to a cotton pad, press it gently onto your lips for a few seconds to break down the formula, then wipe away. Repeat until all product is removed. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can irritate lips.
