åÊHow to Use

1. Prep lips: Since mattes can sometimes emphasize lip texture or dryness, ensure your lips are smooth ‰ÛÓ exfoliate lightly and apply a lip balm a few minutes before application, then blot off excess.

2. Apply directly from the bullet: Use the lipstick bullet to line your lips and then fill them in. For more precision, you can use a lip brush. The ‰ÛÏintense pigment‰۝ means one stroke will already give strong colour.

3. For a crisp lip edge: Use a matching lip liner around the lips to define and prevent colour bleed, especially useful in humid conditions like India.

4. Layering / finishing:

   • If you want a softer effect, apply one layer then press lips together gently and blot with tissue.

   • If you want full opacity and bold look, apply a second layer.

   • You can also top with a clear or nude gloss for a ‰ÛÏmatte to satin‰۝ transition if desired.

5. Touch-ups: Mattes tend to be long-wearing, but after meals you may need to reapply or clean edges. Carry the lipstick with you for quick touch-ups.

6. Storage: Keep the cap tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat, to preserve the formula and colour consistency.
