• Design for expression: Gucci‰۪s makeup line emphasises self-expression and individuality, so this shade aligns with that ethos.åÊ

åÊHow to Use

1. Lip prep: Since matte lipsticks can emphasise lip texture, ensure lips are smooth. Exfoliate gently and apply a light lip balm a few minutes beforehand; blot off any excess.

2. Application:

   • Use the sharp edge of the lipstick bullet to outline the lips precisely. Gucci‰۪s instructions mention using the bullet edge for contouring.åÊ

   • Then fill in the lips with the flat face of the bullet for an even finish.

3. Finish & layering:

   • For a crisp finish, apply one coat and blot lightly with tissue.

   • If you want more intensity, apply a second coat.

   • Optional: For a slightly softer effect, you could dab a bit of gloss in the centre of lips after the matte layer.

4. Touch-up: Keep the lipstick with you for touch-ups after meals or drinks. Since it‰۪s matte and high pigment, any wear off may show, so a quick reapply keeps the look sharp.

5. Storage & care: Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat (especially relevant in warmer climates). Close the cap tightly to protect the product.

6. Alternate use (optional): Some lipsticks in this line are also recommended (by Gucci) to be used on cheeks or eyes for a flush of colour (though matte and red might be bold for eyes).
