Givenchy Le Rouge Sheer Velvet Lipstick - N18

Le Rouge Sheer Velvet offers a unique sheer matte finish and a buildable color payoff, with a focus on a blurred effect and comfortable, hydrating wear. Other variants might offer full opacity, glossy finishes, or different wear times.

The lipstick is designed for up to 12 hours of wear, though this can vary based on eating, drinking, and individual lip conditions.

Yes, the formula is designed to be buildable. You can apply multiple layers to achieve a more intense color payoff while maintaining the sheer matte finish.

The formula is enriched with mango butter for comfort and hydration and contains 96% natural ingredients (including water). However, it does contain fragrance. If you have extreme sensitivity, testing on a small area or using a lip balm underneath is recommended.

Once the original lipstick is finished, you can purchase a refill. Remove the inner part of the finished lipstick and insert the new refill according to the instructions provided with the refill packaging.

It means the lipstick provides a matte appearance but with a translucent quality, allowing your natural lip color to subtly show through. It creates a soft-focus, blurred effect rather than a flat, opaque color.

The key active ingredient is wild mango butter extract, rich in vitamin E, which provides comfort and protection against dehydration. It also contains waxes for structure and emollient oils for the blurred effect.

Ensure lips are smooth and hydrated. Exfoliate lips if necessary before application. Apply in thin layers, building up the color gradually. Ensure the lipstick bullet is not damaged.

While designed for long wear, the sheer finish can appear to fade if lips are very dry or prone to friction. For extended wear, ensure lips are well-prepped and consider applying a second layer after blotting.

Check if the lipstick has been exposed to extreme temperatures, which can affect the formula. Ensure the hydrating balm is applied before the sheer velvet lipstick if lips feel dry. Store properly to maintain formula integrity.

Ensure you are using a genuine Givenchy Le Rouge Sheer Velvet refill. Follow the specific instructions provided with the refill for proper insertion. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
