Troubleshooting
Lipstick feels drying after a few hours.
Ensure lips are well-hydrated before application. Reapply a nourishing lip balm or a hydrating serum to lips if dryness occurs. The formula is designed for comfort, but individual lip conditions may vary.
Color transfer occurs despite claims.
Allow the lipstick to set for a few minutes after application. Blot gently with a tissue to remove any excess product. Ensure lips are not overly saturated.
Application is uneven or streaky.
Ensure lips are smooth and free of dry patches. Exfoliate lips gently if necessary. Reapply in light layers, allowing each to set slightly, using the precise tip of the applicator.
The twist mechanism feels stiff.
Avoid forcing the mechanism. Ensure the bullet is fully retracted before attempting to twist again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application:
Ensure lips are clean and dry. For best results, exfoliate lips lightly and apply a lip balm, allowing it to absorb before lipstick application.
Twist the slim gold case to reveal the lipstick bullet.
Apply directly to lips, using the precise tip to define the edges and fill in the color. A single swipe is often sufficient due to the high pigmentation.
Compatibility:
This lipstick is designed for direct application to bare lips. It is compatible with standard lip liners for added definition or longevity, though the formula is intended to perform exceptionally well on its own.
Care:
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the formula and color.
Cleaning: The exterior of the case can be wiped clean with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials.
Refills: When the lipstick is finished, the case is designed to be refilled. Gently remove the empty cartridge and insert a new refill of your chosen shade.
