Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick - Red

For extended wear, start with a lip primer, then outline and fill in your lips with a matching lip liner. Apply the lipstick, blot gently with a tissue, and then apply a second layer for maximum longevity.

The Colour Elixir formula is designed for comfortable wear, helping lips feel soft and smooth. While it's not a treatment balm, it aims to prevent excessive dryness during wear. For extra hydration, apply a lip balm underneath.

Apply a thin layer of lipstick, blot with a tissue, and then apply a second layer. Using a lip primer before application can also help extend wear time.

Ensure your lips are well-hydrated and exfoliated *before* applying lipstick. Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub, then apply a moisturizing lip balm and allow it to absorb before blotting off any excess prior to lipstick application.

For best results, apply to smooth, exfoliated lips. For precision, especially around the edges, consider using a lip brush to ensure even distribution of color.
