Troubleshooting
Color bleeding or feathering outside the lip line
Use a matching or clear lip liner to create a barrier around the lips before applying the lipstick. Apply the lipstick carefully within the lined area.
Lips feel dry or look textured after application
Ensure thorough lip preparation. Gently exfoliate lips to remove dry skin, then apply a hydrating lip balm and allow it to absorb fully before blotting any excess. This creates a smoother canvas.
Uneven color payoff or patchy appearance
Make sure your lips are smooth and free from any balm residue. Apply the lipstick slowly and steadily, ensuring even pressure. If necessary, use a lip brush for more precise and uniform application.
Difficulty removing the lipstick
Due to its transfer-resistant formula, an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water designed for long-wear makeup is recommended. Apply to a cotton pad and gently press against the lips for a few seconds before wiping.
Lipstick bullet appears to be softening or melting
This can occur if the product has been exposed to high temperatures. Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed. If it has softened, place it in the refrigerator for a short period to firm it up.

Compatibility
Lip Liners: Highly compatible with lip liners to enhance precision and prolong wear.
Lip Primers: Can be used with a lip primer for an even smoother base, though not strictly necessary due to its emollient formula.
Other Lip Products: Generally best worn on its own to fully appreciate its matte finish and transfer-resistant properties. Layering with glosses will alter the finish and may reduce its longevity and transfer-resistance.
Product Care
Storage: Store the lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Heat can affect the product's consistency and performance.
Cap Tightly: Always ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect the bullet from damage.
