Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application (Setup)
Using your Pat McGrath Labs Mattetrance Lipstick is straightforward:
- Ensure Clean Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. For optimal results with a matte lipstick, consider gently exfoliating and moisturizing your lips beforehand.
- Twist Up: Gently twist the base of the lipstick to reveal a small amount of product.
- Apply Evenly: Apply the lipstick directly to your lips, starting from the Cupid's bow and gliding outwards. Repeat on the lower lip.
- Precision: For sharper edges, use a lip brush to define the lip line or a matching lip liner before application.
Compatibility
This lipstick is compatible with:
- Lip Liners: Enhances precision and wear time. Choose a shade that matches Omi or is slightly deeper for definition.
- Lip Primers: Can improve smoothness and extend wear, especially if you have naturally dry lips.
- Lip Glosses: While designed for a matte finish, a touch of clear or complementary gloss can be dabbed onto the center of the lips for a different texture and added plumpness.
Product Care
Proper care helps maintain the quality and integrity of your lipstick:
- Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can alter its texture and formulation.
- Cap Securely: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect it from dust and debris.
- Avoid Contamination: To keep the product hygienic, avoid sharing and try not to transfer oils or food particles to the lipstick bullet during application.
