How to Use
- Prep lips with a gentle exfoliator and a conditioning lip balm for a smooth base before color.
- Apply a lip liner in a shade close to French Touch to define the lip shape and prevent feathering.
- Starting at the center of the upper lip, sweep the lipstick toward the corners for clean, even coverage.
- Layer in thin coats to build intensity without overloading the pigment; allow a moment for the color to set.
- For sharper edges, use a clean brush or concealer around the lip line to sharpen the contour.
- Optional: blot lightly on a tissue and reapply a second layer for longer wear and stronger color payoff.
- Reapply as needed throughout the day to refresh color and preserve the matte finish.
Whether you’re stepping into a meeting, filming content, or heading out for a night out, this lipstick is designed to stay true to shade while delivering a velvety, modern matte that doesn’t compromise comfort.
