Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon first use, ensure the pencil tip is adequately sharpened for precise application. A cosmetic pencil sharpener is required.
Application Tips
- Prep Lips: For the smoothest application and to prevent drying, ensure your lips are moisturized. Apply a light lip balm a few minutes prior and blot off any excess.
- Sharpen: If the tip is dull, use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to create a fine point. This ensures crisp lines.
- Outline: Starting from your Cupid's bow, draw a small 'X' to define the peaks. Then, connect from the peaks to the outer corners of your upper lip. For the bottom lip, start from the center and draw outwards to the corners.
- Fill (Optional): For extended wear and a stronger color base, gently fill in your entire lip area with the liner.
Compatibility
This lip liner is compatible with virtually all lipstick and lip gloss formulas. It works best when paired with lipsticks that are in the same 'pink' or 'nude' color family to create a harmonious look. It can also be worn alone for a natural, matte stain effect.
Product Care
- Sharpening: Use a clean, sharp cosmetic pencil sharpener to maintain a precise tip. Avoid using blunt or dirty sharpeners as they can damage the pencil.
- Storage: Store the lip liner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent the creamy formula from melting or drying out.
- Hygiene: To prevent bacterial buildup, avoid sharing your lip liner. If using on multiple individuals (e.g., in a professional setting), always sanitize the tip between uses or use disposable applicators.
