Bobbi Brown Lip Pencil - Purple

For a natural look, choose a shade that closely matches your natural lip color or your chosen lipstick. Apply the pencil in short, light strokes along your lip line, then gently blend inwards with your finger or a lip brush before applying any other lip product.

Yes, absolutely! You can fill in your entire lip with the pencil for a long-lasting, matte lip color. This is especially effective if you prefer a subtle, defined look without the shine of lipstick or gloss.

To preserve product, avoid over-sharpening. Only sharpen enough to get a functional point. If you use it to fill in your entire lip regularly, it will naturally be used up faster than if only used for lining.

While it offers all-day wear and helps prevent feathering, it is not entirely smudge-proof, especially with eating or drinking. For maximum longevity, consider using it as a full lip base and blotting lightly.

You should use a cosmetic pencil sharpener designed for makeup pencils, preferably one with two different size openings to accommodate various pencil sizes. Ensure the blade is sharp to prevent splintering the pencil.

Use the included sharpener to carefully sharpen the pencil to a fine point. A sharp pencil ensures crisp, accurate lines.

Ensure your lips are moisturized and smooth before application. Gently warm the pencil tip on the back of your hand for a few seconds to soften the formula slightly.

Make sure you are lining just outside your natural lip line to create a clear barrier. For extra hold, gently blot your lip liner and apply a thin layer of translucent powder over it before applying your main lip color.
