Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your MAC Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick is straightforward:
- Prepare Your Lips: For the smoothest application, ensure your lips are clean and moisturized. Gently exfoliate if needed.
- Twist Up: Twist the base of the lipstick to reveal a small amount of product (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch).
- Apply: Glide the lipstick directly onto your lips, starting from the center and moving outwards. For a more precise application, you can use a lip brush.
- Build (Optional): For a slightly more intense color, apply an additional layer or two.
Compatibility
- Lip Liners: This lipstick pairs beautifully with MAC Lip Pencils in coordinating pink or nude shades for added definition and to prevent feathering.
- Lip Glosses: For an even more intense shine, you can layer a clear or complementary colored lip gloss over the Lustreglass lipstick.
- Base Layers: It can be applied over a light stain or a more matte lipstick to add a comfortable, shiny finish.
Care
To ensure the longevity and quality of your lipstick:
- Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Heat can cause the lipstick to soften or melt.
- Cap Securely: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect it from dust and damage.
- Cleanliness: If the lipstick tube or bullet gets dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, dry tissue. Avoid getting water inside the mechanism.
- Avoid Force: Do not apply excessive pressure when twisting up or down, or when applying, to prevent the lipstick bullet from breaking.
