For best results and to ensure the most comfortable wear, begin by gently exfoliating your lips to remove any dry skin. Follow with a hydrating lip balm, allowing it to absorb fully before blotting any excess. For enhanced longevity and to prevent feathering, you may wish to outline your lips with a complementary lip liner before applying the lipstick. The Matte Revolution Lipstick can be applied directly from the bullet using its unique square-angled tip for precision. For a softer look, dab the color onto your lips with your finger. This lipstick is compatible with most lip primers and glosses; apply a clear or complementary gloss over the top for a different finish. To care for your lipstick, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its creamy texture and prevent melting or drying out. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use.
