CHANEL Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue - 8Ml - Red Brown 196 Intense Nude

This long-wearing formula is best removed with an oil-based makeup remover or a bi-phase cleanser. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and hold it over your lips for a few seconds to dissolve the product before gently wiping away.

While you can wear the liquid lip color on its own for a matte finish, it is designed to be paired with the gloss for optimal comfort, shine, and its full advertised longevity. Wearing it without the gloss may result in a slightly drier feel and potentially reduced wear time.

Once the liquid lip color has dried and the gloss is applied, the color base is largely transfer-resistant. However, the gloss layer may have slight transfer, especially immediately after application. The core color beneath is designed to stay put.

'194 Intense Nude' is a sophisticated brown-toned nude shade. It offers a natural yet defined look, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones and occasions, from everyday wear to more elegant settings.

The gloss can be reapplied as desired throughout the day to refresh the shine and comfort without disturbing the underlying liquid lip color. There's no fixed frequency; it depends on your preference and activity level.

Ensure your lips are completely clean and dry before initial application. Apply the liquid lip color in a thin, even layer and allow it to dry fully before adding the gloss. Avoid consuming excessively oily foods, which can sometimes break down long-wear formulas faster. Reapplying the gloss throughout the day can refresh the shine without compromising the base color's longevity.

The gloss component is designed to provide comfort. If you experience dryness, ensure you are applying the gloss generously over the dried liquid lip color. You may also consider gently exfoliating your lips prior to application to ensure a smooth surface, and maintaining overall lip hydration when not wearing the product.

Apply the liquid lip color in a single, even stroke, avoiding multiple layers unless necessary for touch-ups. Ensure the applicator is not overloaded with product. Allowing the first layer to dry completely before any adjustments or gloss application will also help prevent streaking.
