FAQs
What makes this lipstick 'soft matte'?
The 'soft matte' finish refers to its non-shiny, velvety texture that also has a slightly diffused or blurred edge, rather than a sharp, high-definition matte.
Is the Warm Terracotta shade suitable for all skin tones?
Warm Terracotta is a versatile earthy tone that generally complements a wide range of skin tones, offering a natural yet warm look.
How long does the lipstick typically last?
The lipstick is designed for comfortable long wear. Longevity can vary based on eating, drinking, and personal lip chemistry, but it offers good wear time for a comfortable matte formula.
Can I layer other lip products over this?
You can apply a balm for moisture, but applying glosses or other creamy formulas over the matte finish may affect its texture and longevity. A lip liner is a better companion for definition.
What are the key nourishing ingredients?
The lipstick is formulated with Ceramide NP, Shea Butter, and Carrot Seed Oil to help maintain lip hydration and comfort.
How do I sharpen or maintain the shape of the lipstick bullet?
This lipstick twists up and does not require sharpening. If the tip becomes misshapen, you can gently press it against a clean tissue to reshape it after application.
Does this lipstick contain SPF?
The product information provided does not mention SPF. It is recommended to use a separate SPF product if sun protection is a priority.
Troubleshooting
Lipstick feels dry or uncomfortable.
Ensure lips are well-exfoliated and hydrated before application. Apply a thin layer of lip balm 5-10 minutes prior to the lipstick, blotting any excess before application.
Color is not opaque in one swipe.
Ensure the lipstick bullet is adequately twisted up. Apply with gentle pressure, ensuring even contact with the lips. For very intense color, a second light application may be applied after the first has set slightly.
Lipstick transfers easily.
Allow the lipstick to fully dry down after application. Avoid heavy oil-based meals or excessive touching of the lips. For maximum longevity, pair with a compatible lip liner.
The 'soft-blurred' effect is not achieved.
This effect is inherent to the formula. If a sharper line is desired, use a lip brush to define the edges after application or use a matching lip liner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Collection Soft Matte Lipstick requires no setup. Simply twist the bullet to reveal the color and apply directly to your lips.
Compatibility: This lipstick is designed for direct application to bare lips. For a more defined look or extended wear, consider using a lip liner that complements the Warm Terracotta shade. It layers well over a light lip balm if extra moisture is desired.
Care: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain the formula's integrity and prevent drying. Clean the tip of the lipstick with a tissue if it becomes contaminated. To remove, use a standard makeup remover or micellar water.
