After Base Makeup, During Lip Makeup Step
Complete your base with foundation and concealer, finish your eye makeup, then apply your lip product. If you line your lips with a lip liner first, the tint will stay put without feathering for a clean, polished finish.
Application Technique for Maximum Shine
Apply a small amount to the center of your lips, then gently blend outward. The formula contains shape-memory ingredients that quickly restore shine even after your lips touch, so after one application, press your lips together naturally to lock in the glossy finish for longer wear. For an extra plumping effect, apply a second layer to the inner part of your lips to enhance volume.
How to Wear Mercury Mauve for Different Occasions
- For office looks, apply a single sheer layer for a subdued mauve tone that feels polished and professional
- For evening plans or parties, build up two to three layers to intensify the purple undertones for a mysterious, captivating mood
- For everyday ease, tap the color onto the inner lips only and blend outward for a pretty gradient finish
Products That Pair Well
As a cool-toned mauve, Mercury Mauve pairs beautifully with pink blush or lavender-toned highlighter for a cohesive makeup look. If your lips feel dry, apply a lip balm first before layering the tint for smoother, more comfortable application.
Storage and Cleansing Tips
Because the formula contains oil, the pigment and oil layers may separate—just give it a gentle shake before use. Since the packaging is transparent, store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. To remove, gently massage cleansing oil or cleansing balm onto your lips to dissolve the tint, then wipe clean.
