Troubleshooting
Lipstick appears uneven or patchy on application.
Ensure your lips are properly prepped. Exfoliate gently to remove dry flakes and apply a light lip balm a few minutes before applying the lipstick. This creates a smoother canvas for the silky matte finish.
Color doesn't seem to last the full 12 hours.
For optimal wear, apply the lipstick to clean, dry lips. Avoid consuming excessively oily foods or drinks immediately after application, as oils can break down the formula. Consider applying a lip primer underneath.
Lips feel slightly dry after prolonged wear.
While the lipstick is formulated with hydrating ingredients, some individuals may still experience dryness, especially if lips are naturally very dry. Ensure you maintain a consistent lip care routine with regular balm use when not wearing lipstick, and consider a hydrating lip mask overnight. Reapply a thin layer of lipstick if needed, rather than adding more balm directly over the matte.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
No special setup is required. Simply uncap and apply. For first use, ensure your lips are clean and prepped.
Compatibility:
Lip Liners: Highly compatible with MAC Lip Pencils for enhanced definition and wear.
Lip Primers: Can be used with a lip primer underneath for an even smoother base and potentially longer wear, though the formula is designed to be comfortable on its own.
Layering: While a matte finish, it can be lightly topped with a clear gloss in the center of the lips for a subtle dimension, if desired, without compromising the matte base.
Care and Storage:
Storage: Store your lipstick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and integrity.
Hygiene: Always recap the lipstick securely after each use to prevent it from drying out and to protect the product from dust and contaminants.
Cleaning: If the outer case becomes soiled, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth.
