FAQs

What does 'Universal Noir Revelateur' mean?

'Universal' suggests it's designed to work with many colors, and 'Noir Revelateur' translates to 'Black Revealer,' indicating its ability to modify or reveal deeper tones when applied.

Can this be used as an eyeshadow or eyeliner?

While the formula is creamy, it is specifically designed for lips. Using it on eyes is not recommended as it may cause irritation and is not formulated for that delicate area.

How do I remove the lip liner?

Use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated lip makeup remover for best results. Gentle cleansing with a regular facial cleanser may also suffice.

Is this lip liner suitable for all skin tones?

Yes, the 'universal' black shade is designed to work across a wide spectrum of skin tones, either to deepen existing lipstick colors or as a standalone statement.

Does this product require sharpening?

No, this is a retractable lip liner. Twist the base to dispense the product; no sharpening is needed.

How long does the lip liner typically last on the lips?

The long-wearing formula is designed to last for several hours. However, longevity can vary depending on eating, drinking, and the specific application.

Can I use this with matte lipsticks?

Yes, it pairs well with matte lipsticks. It can be used to line the lips before applying a matte lipstick or mixed with a matte lipstick to create a custom deep shade.

Troubleshooting

Product is not dispensing.

Twist the base of the pencil firmly in a clockwise direction. If it feels stuck, ensure the cap was on correctly and try again.

Application feels draggy or dry.

Ensure your lips are well-exfoliated and hydrated before application. A lip balm base can also improve glide.

Color appears uneven.

Apply a thin, even layer. If needed, gently blend the edges with a lip brush for a smoother finish. Ensure lips are fully prepped.

Product smudges easily after application.

Allow a minute or two for the formula to set after application. Blot gently with a tissue if necessary to remove excess product.
