Ensure lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized before application. Reapply a hydrating lip balm, let it absorb, and then apply the lipstick.

Apply in thin layers, blotting between applications. Use a lip brush for more controlled and even coverage. Ensure lips are smooth and free from dry patches.

Apply a lip liner in a matching shade before the lipstick. Blot the lipstick gently after application to set the color. Touch up as needed throughout the day.
