Velvet Luxe Lipstick

Velvet Luxe Lipstick offers rich, high-pigment color with a plush, velvety-matte finish that cushions the lips. Designed for comfortable, non-drying wear, it glides on smoothly to give a soft-focus, plumped look to your lips.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. Prep and Smooth

• Exfoliate: Gently buff your lips with a soft lip scrub or a damp washcloth to remove dry flakes.

• Hydrate: Apply a thin layer of lip balm 5 minutes prior to lipstick application to lock in moisture. Blot away any excess balm with a tissue so the lipstick adheres properly.

2. Line and Shape (Optional)

• To prevent feathering and create crisp edges, trace the outer border of your lips with a matching lip pencil or a clear universal liner.

• Outline your Cupid’s bow with a small “X” shape to emphasize symmetry.

3. Application

• Direct Bullet Application: Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet starting at the center of your top lip and moving outward to the corners. Repeat on the lower lip.

• Lip Brush Precision: For clean, sharp edges—especially with bold or dark shades—use a lip brush to pick up pigment from the bullet and trace the lip line carefully.

4. Set for Extended Wear

• Gently press a thin sheet of tissue against your lips to blot excess oils.

• Dust a tiny amount of translucent setting powder through the tissue over your lips to lock in the velvety finish for hours.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Soft Blurred/Bludged Edge: For an effortless Korean-style “blurred lip,” apply color only to the center of your lips and press them together, then use your ring finger or a clean eyeshadow blending brush to diffuse the color toward the outer edges.

• Plumping Highlight: Tap a touch of shimmer or clear lip gloss onto the very center of your bottom lip to create the illusion of fuller, more three-dimensional lips.
