After base makeup, during the lip color step
Once you've finished your base makeup, apply your lip color alongside or after your eye makeup. Because of its water tint formula, the color adheres directly to your lips — for more even pigmentation, apply a lip balm first and let it absorb before use.
Easy application with the wide marker tip
Use the broad marker-style tip to glide the color along your lip line in one smooth stroke. If the full intensity feels too bold, try tapping the color from the center of your lips outward for a soft gradient effect. Let it dry naturally without rubbing your lips together to maximize adherence. For even longer-lasting wear, gently blot with a dry tissue and reapply a second layer.

Products to pair with
Water tints can be drying, so layer a lip balm or lip oil on top to add a touch of hydration. For the most vivid color payoff, prep your lips with a lip concealer to neutralize your natural lip tone — the color will appear even more true and vibrant.
Exfoliation and hygiene tips
Water tint formulas can cling to flaky skin and create an uneven finish, so gently exfoliate your lips before applying. After each use, wipe the tip clean with a tissue to keep it hygienic, and always close the cap tightly to prevent the product from drying out. When removing, press a cotton pad soaked in remover onto your lips for a few seconds — this lifts the color cleanly without irritation.
