Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lipstick - Red

To maximize wear, start with exfoliated and moisturized lips. Apply a lip primer, then a matching lip liner. Apply the lipstick, blot with a tissue, and apply a second thin layer. Avoid oily foods and drinks.

Bobbi Brown aims for universally flattering shades. This classic red is generally versatile, but personal preference plays a big role. It's often described as a true red, which tends to suit many complexions.

The Luxe Matte formula is designed to be more comfortable than many traditional mattes. However, any matte lipstick can feel less hydrating than a satin or cream formula. Proper lip preparation (exfoliation and balm) is crucial to prevent dryness.

For precision, always use a lip liner first to define the edges. You can also use a fine lip brush to apply the lipstick to ensure crisp lines, especially around the Cupid's bow and corners.

Yes, you can apply a clear or complementary colored lip gloss over the Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lipstick. This will transform the matte finish into a glossy one, offering a different look while retaining the base color.

Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain its consistency and prolong its shelf life. Always ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use.

Ensure your lips are properly exfoliated and moisturized before applying. Dead skin or dryness can cause unevenness. Gently blot off excess lip balm before applying the lipstick.

Always use a lip liner that matches your lipstick or a clear lip liner. Apply the liner around the perimeter of your lips before applying the lipstick to create a barrier.

While this formula aims for comfort, matte lipsticks can still be drying for some. Apply a hydrating lip balm as a base, blot off excess, and consider reapplying balm during the day if needed (or a hydrating gloss over the matte). Ensure you are drinking enough water to stay hydrated.

Matte lipsticks generally have good staying power, but some transfer can still occur. For maximum transfer resistance, apply a thin layer, blot with a tissue, and apply a second thin layer. Avoid rubbing your lips excessively.

Matte lipsticks can be more tenacious. Use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated bi-phase lip makeup remover. Apply to a cotton pad, press onto your lips for a few seconds, then gently wipe away.
