The Primer Oil Complex allows the pencil to glide on smoothly and comfortably, preventing the dry, dragging sensation sometimes associated with lip liners.

Yes, you can wear it on its own. It provides definition and a comfortable, creamy finish. Filling in the entire lip can create a matte-like base.

Apply with light, even strokes. For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are exfoliated and hydrated. Using it as a base and then filling in the lips can also help with evenness.

The formula is designed to be comfortable and glides on easily, and it is cruelty-free. However, individual sensitivity can vary. It's always recommended to patch-test if you have known sensitivities.

Use a standard cosmetic sharpener designed for makeup pencils. Sharpen gently to maintain the tip.

Ensure you are using a cosmetic-grade sharpener designed for lip pencils. If the product is very soft, try chilling the pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes before sharpening.

Ensure lips are well-moisturized. Gently warm the tip of the pencil on the back of your hand before applying to the lips.

Apply a thin, even layer. If using as a base, ensure the entire lip is filled in smoothly. Exfoliate and moisturize lips prior to application.

For maximum longevity, use the pencil to fill in the entire lip area as a base before applying lipstick. Blot lips gently after initial application and reapply a thin layer of lipstick if needed.
