FAQs

How often should I apply the Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick?

Apply as often as desired to refresh the colour. For the active moisturizing benefits, consistent daily use is recommended. Reapply after eating or drinking if needed.

Does this lipstick have a scent or flavour?

Info needed: The product description does not specify if it contains added fragrance or flavour. Typically, lipsticks may have a subtle cosmetic scent.

Is this lipstick long-lasting or transfer-proof?

The primary focus of this lipstick is 'instant fabulous colour' and 'smoother, softer lips over time' through active moisturization. It is not explicitly marketed as long-lasting or transfer-proof, so reapplication may be necessary throughout the day.

Can I use this lipstick if I have sensitive lips?

The formula contains emollients, conditioners, and antioxidants including Vitamin E, which are generally well-tolerated. However, if you have known sensitivities, it's always recommended to do a patch test on a small area of skin before full application. Consult a dermatologist if irritation occurs.

How does the 'Elixir formula' work to moisturize lips?

The Elixir formula is enriched with a blend of 60% emollients, conditioners, and antioxidants, including Vitamin E. These ingredients work synergistically to actively hydrate the lips, improve their texture, and contribute to a smoother, softer feel over time.

Can I layer other lip products over or under this lipstick?

Yes, you can layer a lip primer underneath for enhanced wear or a clear lip gloss over it for added shine and a different finish. For best results with the 'Elixir formula', apply it directly to clean lips.

Troubleshooting

Colour appears less vibrant than expected.

Ensure lips are clean and dry before application. For increased intensity, apply a second or third coat. Using a matching lip liner underneath can also enhance colour vibrancy.

Lipstick feels too soft or has melted slightly.

This can happen if exposed to high temperatures. Place the lipstick in a cool environment (e.g., refrigerator for 15-30 minutes) to firm it up. Always store in a cool, dry place.

Lipstick breaks off easily during application.

Avoid twisting out too much product. Only expose a small amount of the lipstick at a time when applying. Press gently during application, do not apply excessive force.

Lips still feel dry despite using the product.

While the product actively moisturizes, severe dryness might require prior exfoliation. Use a gentle lip scrub, then apply the lipstick. Ensure you are consistently using the product to benefit from the 7-day smoothing effect.

Colour bleeds or feathers around the lip line.

This can be mitigated by using a clear or matching lip liner to create a barrier before applying the lipstick. Blotting after the first coat can also help to set the colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup (First Use)

Upon opening, simply remove the cap. The lipstick is ready for immediate use. Gently twist the base to expose the desired amount of product.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: Compatible with all lip types. Its moisturizing properties are particularly beneficial for those prone to dry or chapped lips.
  • Usage: Suitable for daily wear, complementing both casual and formal makeup looks.
  • Layering: Can be layered over a lip primer for extended wear or under a clear gloss for added shine.

Care Instructions

  • Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause the product to melt or degrade.
  • Close Cap Tightly: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the lipstick from drying out, becoming contaminated, or getting damaged.
  • Keep Clean: If the tip comes into contact with other surfaces, gently wipe it clean with a tissue. Avoid direct contact with clothing or fabrics to prevent staining.
  • Handle Gently: The product is creamy; avoid twisting out too much product at once to prevent breakage.
