Troubleshooting
Lipstick doesn't apply smoothly or looks patchy.
Ensure your lips are well-exfoliated and hydrated before application. Dry or chapped lips can cause uneven color. Try applying a thin layer of lip balm first, then blotting it off before applying the lipstick.
Color doesn't seem to last the promised 24 hours.
While designed for long wear, factors like eating, drinking, and lip movements can affect longevity. For maximum wear, apply a matching lip liner first, then the lipstick. Blot with a tissue, then reapply for a layered effect. Avoid oily foods.
Magnetic case isn't closing properly.
Check if there's any debris, product residue, or a misaligned bullet preventing the magnet from engaging. Clean the inside of the cap and around the lipstick base. Ensure the cap is aligned correctly with the base.
Lips feel dry despite the hydrating formula.
Even with hydrating ingredients, individual lip moisture levels vary. Ensure you are drinking enough water throughout the day. Consider applying a dedicated lip serum or a more intensive lip balm overnight for deeper conditioning. For some, the velvet finish may feel less hydrating than the satin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup 1. Prepare Your Lips: For optimal application, ensure your lips are smooth and hydrated. Gently exfoliate if necessary, then apply a thin layer of lip balm and blot off any excess. 2. Unclip the Case: The Rouge Dior Lipstick features a magnetic case. Simply pull the cap gently to 'unclip' and reveal the lipstick bullet. 3. Apply Color: Apply the lipstick directly to your lips, starting from the center and moving outwards. For precision, especially with darker shades, you may use a lip brush. 4. Clip to Close: After use, replace the cap. The magnetic mechanism will gently 'clip' it back into place, securing the lipstick. ### Compatibility The Rouge Dior Lipstick is compatible with all skin tones and can be worn with various makeup looks. It pairs well with Dior lip liners for enhanced precision and longevity, and can be layered with glosses if a more intense shine is desired over the satin finish. ### Care - Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve its texture and pigment quality. - Hygiene: To maintain hygiene, avoid sharing your lipstick. If using a lip brush, clean the brush regularly. - Prevent Breakage: Always retract the lipstick bullet fully into the case before replacing the cap to prevent accidental damage.
