For optimal 24-hour wear, always apply the liquid color to clean, dry, bare lips. Let it dry completely for at least two minutes without pressing your lips together, then apply the conditioning balm. Reapply the balm as needed.

Yes, once the liquid color is fully dried and the balm applied, it is designed to be transfer-proof, resisting smudges and marks on cups or clothing. Excessive rubbing or very oily foods may occasionally affect this claim.
