After Base Makeup, During the Lip Step
Apply after you've finished your base with foundation, concealer, and powder. Completing your eye makeup and blush first, then adding lip color last, makes it easier to balance the overall look and adjust color intensity as needed.
How to Build a Natural Gradient
Load a moderate amount onto the applicator tip and sweep from the inner lips outward for a soft, natural gradient. For full coverage, apply evenly across the entire lip. Thanks to the velvet finish, once it sets, it stays put without transfer—so take care to define your desired shape accurately on the first application.

Product Pairing Suggestions
Pair brick and brown lip shades with a warm-toned eyeshadow palette for a cohesive, pulled-together look. For rose tones like dl10 Romantic Pink, try a pink-based blush to tie the makeup together. If your lips tend to be dry, apply a lip balm first, let it absorb, then layer the tint on top for smoother, more seamless adherence.
Care Tips for Hydrated Lips
Always close the cap tightly after use to prevent the formula from drying out. We recommend using within 18 months of opening and storing in a cool place away from direct sunlight. To remove, soak a cotton pad with cleansing oil or makeup remover, press gently onto your lips for a few seconds, then wipe away—it lifts cleanly without irritation.
