Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipstick - Warm Taupe

Yes, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick formula is designed for extended wear and rich color payoff. Its matte finish contributes to its longevity, though wear time can vary based on individual habits like eating and drinking.

Warm Taupe is a versatile brown shade with warm undertones that tends to flatter a wide range of skin tones. It's often considered a universally appealing nude-to-brown color. We recommend trying it on to see how it complements your specific complexion.

Due to its long-lasting nature, we recommend using an oil-based makeup remover, micellar water, or a specialized lip makeup remover. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press it gently onto your lips for a few seconds, then wipe away. Repeat if necessary.

While it's designed to be matte, you can slightly alter the finish by applying a very thin layer of clear lip gloss or a satin-finish lip balm *over* the lipstick, focusing on the center of the lips. This will add some shine but may reduce the extreme longevity.

Always start with well-hydrated and exfoliated lips. Use a lip scrub regularly, and apply a nourishing lip balm a few minutes before applying the lipstick, blotting off any excess. During the day, consider adding a hydrating lip oil *under* the lipstick or during your lip prep routine, or alternating with more hydrating lip products.

Ensure lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized *before* application. Apply a thin layer of hydrating lip balm, let it sit for a few minutes, then blot off excess before applying lipstick. Avoid applying too many layers of lipstick.

Thoroughly exfoliate lips before applying. For best results, apply to a smooth, clean surface. Using a lip brush can help with precise and even distribution of color, especially for matte formulas.

For maximum longevity, outline and fill in your entire lip with a lip liner before applying the lipstick. After the first layer of lipstick, blot gently with a tissue and apply a second thin layer. Avoid oily foods, which can break down lipstick faster.

Always use a lip liner to create a barrier around the lips. A clear lip primer or a 'reverse' lip liner applied just outside the lip line can also prevent feathering, especially with darker matte shades.
