FAQs
Is the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip Kit transfer-proof?
While designed for long wear, it is not entirely transfer-proof, especially when first applied or when exposed to oily foods. Allowing it to fully dry and blotting lightly can help minimize transfer.
How do I remove this long-lasting matte lipstick?
An oil-based makeup remover, cleansing oil, or micellar water is recommended for effective and gentle removal. Apply to a cotton pad, hold over lips briefly, then wipe away.
Can I wear a lip balm underneath the matte lipstick?
Yes, but it's important to apply a light, non-oily balm, let it absorb, and then blot off any excess before applying the lip kit. Too much balm can interfere with the matte finish and longevity.
How long does the lip kit color typically last?
When applied correctly, the Matte Lip Kit is formulated for several hours of wear. Longevity can vary depending on activities like eating and drinking.
Is `Kristen 500` a specific type of red?
`Kristen 500` is described as a bold red shade, offering a vibrant and classic red lip look with a matte finish.
Does the 'Lip Kit' include both a lipstick and a liner?
Yes, the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip Kit typically includes both a liquid matte lipstick and a matching lip liner for complete lip definition and color.
Is this product vegan or cruelty-free?
Info needed: Please refer to the official Kylie Cosmetics website or product packaging for the most current information regarding vegan and cruelty-free status, as formulations can change.
Troubleshooting
Lip color appears patchy or uneven.
Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and exfoliated before application. Apply the liquid lipstick in thin, even layers. If necessary, allow the first layer to dry completely before applying a second very thin layer.
Lips feel too dry or tight after application.
Proper lip prep is crucial for matte formulas. Exfoliate regularly and apply a hydrating lip balm, blotting off any excess before applying the lip kit. You can also try applying a very thin layer of hydrating gloss *over* the matte lipstick once it has fully set, but this may alter the matte finish.
Lipstick feathers or bleeds outside the lip line.
Always use the included lip liner to create a barrier and define your lip shape before applying the liquid lipstick. Filling in your entire lip with the liner can also help provide a base and extend wear.
Color is not lasting as expected or transfers easily.
Make sure your lips are completely clean and free of any oils or balms before application. Allow ample time (at least 60 seconds) for the liquid lipstick to dry down completely without pressing your lips together. Avoid oily foods, which can break down the formula.
