FAQs
How should I apply the lipstick for a more defined look?
Use a lip brush for precise application, or apply the lipstick directly from the bullet and then clean up the edges with a lip liner or concealer.
Can I use this lipstick on my cheeks?
Yes, you can dab a small amount of the lipstick onto your cheeks and blend for a soft flush of color.
How do I remove the lipstick?
Use a makeup remover suitable for long-wear lipsticks, such as an oil-based cleanser or a dedicated lip makeup remover.
Is the lipstick moisturizing?
While it has a creamy texture, it's not primarily a moisturizing lipstick. For added moisture, apply a lip balm underneath.
What is the shelf life of the lipstick?
Unopened, the shelf life is typically 2-3 years. Once opened, it's best to use it within 12-18 months.
Can I layer other products with this lipstick?
Yes, you can layer lip gloss or a clear lip balm over the lipstick to change the finish or add hydration.
Troubleshooting
Lipstick appears patchy or uneven after application.
Exfoliate lips gently before application to remove dry skin. Use a lip primer to create a smooth base.
Lipstick bleeds or feathers outside lip lines.
Use a lip liner to define the lip shape before applying the lipstick. Apply a thin layer of setting powder around the lip line.
Color fades quickly.
Apply a lip primer. Blot your lips with tissue after the first application, and reapply for longer wear.
