Troubleshooting
Color appears too sheer or less vibrant than expected.
The Crushed Lip Color is designed to be layerable. Apply additional swipes to build up the color intensity until you achieve your desired vibrancy.
The lipstick doesn't seem to last for the full 8 hours.
While formulated for 8-hour wear, heavy eating or drinking, especially oily foods, can reduce wear time. Reapply as needed, particularly after meals.
Lips feel dry or the matte finish looks patchy.
Although the formula is balmy, ensure your lips are well-hydrated and exfoliated before application. Apply a thin layer of lip balm beforehand and blot off any excess, or gently exfoliate lips to remove dry patches.
The lipstick appears to feather slightly around the lip line.
Although designed to resist feathering, for extra precision or if you experience slight feathering, consider using a clear or nude-toned lip liner around the perimeter of your lips before applying the lipstick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care### Setup and ApplicationTo apply, simply swipe the lipstick directly onto your bare lips. For a sheer wash, one layer is sufficient. To achieve a more intense color payoff, layer the product until the desired vibrancy is reached. No special tools are required for application.### CompatibilityThis Crushed Lip Color is universally compatible and suitable for all skin tones, though the specific 'Nude' shade's appearance may vary slightly based on individual lip pigmentation and complexion. It can be worn alone or paired with a lip liner for added definition, especially if you desire a very precise edge or wish to prevent any potential feathering (though the product is designed to resist it).### Care and StorageTo maintain the integrity and longevity of your Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color, always replace the cap securely after each use. Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect the product's texture and stability. Avoid leaving it in hot environments, such as a car on a sunny day.
