How to Use
- Prepare lips with a gentle exfoliation and a hydrating lip balm to create a smooth base.
- Outline lips with a matching lip liner to define the edges and prevent feathering, especially for darker colors.
- Starting at the center of the upper and lower lips, apply Drama Matte in a single stroke and blend outward for even color distribution.
- Build the intensity by applying a second layer for deeper coverage, focusing on the center of the lips for a dimensional look.
- For crisper edges, use a lip brush or apply directly and refine with a clean fingertip along the outer line.
- To maximize wear, blot lightly with tissue and, if desired, reapply a thin layer to refresh the color.
- Remove with your usual makeup remover or oil-based makeup remover at night to cleanse thoroughly.
