Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup (First Use)
Upon first use, ensure the applicator is clean. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring your lips are prepared as described in the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section.
Compatibility
- Lip Liners: The MAC Locked Kiss Ink 24Hr Lipcolour is compatible with most lip liners. For best results and extended wear, choose a liner that complements your chosen shade and apply it before the lipcolour.
- Other Lip Products: While you can apply non-oil-based toppers for a different finish, this may affect the product's 24-hour wear and transfer-resistance. For maximum durability, it is designed to be worn alone.
Product Care
- Storage: Store your MAC Locked Kiss Ink 24Hr Lipcolour in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is always securely twisted on after each use to prevent the product from drying out.
- Cleaning: The applicator generally does not require cleaning. If buildup occurs, gently wipe the applicator with a dry tissue. Avoid using water or solvents directly on the applicator or within the product tube.
- Removal: To remove the lipcolour, use an oil-based makeup remover, cleansing balm, or micellar water specifically designed for long-wear or waterproof makeup. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press onto your lips for a few seconds to break down the formula, then gently wipe away. Repeat if necessary until all product is removed.
