Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation for Optimal Application:
- Exfoliate Lips: Gently exfoliate your lips to remove any dry flakes, creating a smooth surface for application.
- Hydrate: Apply a thin layer of lip balm and allow it to absorb for a few minutes before blotting off any excess. This helps prevent the matte formula from emphasizing dry patches.
- Optional Lip Primer: For extended wear and to prevent feathering, consider applying a lip primer.
Application:
- Start by outlining your lips with a lip pencil in a complementary shade to 'No Coral Ation' (e.g., a warm nude or a matching orange liner) for precision.
- Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting from the center of your upper lip and moving outwards.
- Repeat on the lower lip.
- For a more precise application, use a lip brush.
Compatibility:
- This lipstick pairs well with MAC's various lip pencils for defining the lip line.
- It can be worn alone or layered over a lip primer for enhanced longevity.
- Compatible with most lip removers for easy cleanup.
Care & Storage:
- Keep the lipstick cap securely closed when not in use to prevent drying and contamination.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can alter the formula and texture.
- If the lipstick gets smudged on the tube, gently wipe with a tissue or a damp cloth.
