Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lipstick - Claret

While matte formulas are generally more resistant to transfer than creamy or glossy ones, no lipstick is truly 100% transfer-proof, especially when freshly applied or after eating/drinking. It is designed for long-lasting wear with minimal transfer.

Use an oil-based makeup remover or a cleansing balm. Apply it to a cotton pad, gently press onto your lips for a few seconds to break down the formula, then wipe away. Avoid harsh rubbing.

Yes, you can, but it will change the intended matte finish to a glossy one. If you want to add a subtle shine while retaining some of the matte base, apply a small amount of gloss only to the center of your lips.

The deep, rich red of Claret is a versatile shade that often complements a wide range of skin tones. Its intensity can be particularly striking on many complexions.

This is often due to dry or uneven lip texture. Ensure you exfoliate your lips gently and moisturize them thoroughly before application. Blot any excess balm before applying the lipstick.

Use a matching or clear lip liner to outline your lips before applying the lipstick. This creates a barrier that helps contain the color.

While this is a matte formula, ensuring good lip hydration *before* application is crucial. Apply a thin layer of a hydrating lip balm 5-10 minutes prior and blot off any excess before putting on the lipstick. Consider a hydrating lip primer.

For extended wear, apply a lip primer first, then outline and fill in your lips with a lip liner. Apply the lipstick, blot with a tissue, and then apply a second thin layer. This technique can significantly improve longevity.

This can happen if lips are very dry or if too much product is applied. Ensure proper lip prep (exfoliation, hydration) and try applying a thinner layer or using a lip brush for a more even distribution.
