After base makeup, as the final step of lip color
Complete your base with foundation and concealer, finish your eye makeup and blush, then apply the lip tint. The velvet matte texture can be worn directly without lip balm, but if your lips tend to be dry, apply lip balm first, gently blot with tissue to remove excess oils, then apply for smoother adherence.
How to fill evenly with the flat angled tip
Tilt the angled side of the applicator to match your lip line for even color payoff without streaking. Apply from the inner lips outward, and use the pointed tip to precisely define the cupid's bow and corners. One swipe delivers vivid pigmentation, but if you want deeper color, reapply once the first layer has dried.
Choosing colors for your personal coloring and occasion
- If you're warm-toned, warm reds and browns like Flirting Red, Red Whiskey, Vintage Brick, and Cedar Earl Grey will suit you beautifully.
- For cool-toned complexions, we recommend rose and berry tones like Rococo Beige, Plum Bake, Elfin Berry, and Fig Rose.
- For office looks, keep it natural with Toasty Rose or Pink Sunset; for evening plans, go radiant with Wine on Dress or Pomegranate Red.
Multi-use tip: double as cheek tint
Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand and tap onto the inner cheeks with your fingertips for a natural blush effect. Matching your lip and cheek color creates a cohesive makeup look. Lighter shades like Rococo Beige or Pink Sunset work especially well as cheek tint.
To maintain the velvety finish longer
After meals, gently blot oils with tissue before reapplying to keep the look fresh. For cleansing, soak a cotton pad with lip remover, press it onto your lips for a moment, then gently wipe away. Use within 12 months of opening and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
