PRECAUTIONS
Before using this product, please keep the following in mind for safe and effective use:
- External Use Only: This product is designed for use on the lips only. Do not use in the eye area or on other parts of the body.
- Discontinue Use if Irritation Occurs: If you experience any redness, itching, swelling, or discomfort, remove the product immediately and discontinue use.
- Avoid Contact with Eyes: If the product accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Do Not Use on Damaged Skin: Avoid applying the liner to chapped, broken, or irritated skin on or around the lips.
- Hygiene: Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and drying out. Do not share your lip liner with others to avoid cross-contamination.
- Storage: Keep out of reach of children. Do not store in areas with high or low temperatures or in direct sunlight.
HOW TO APPLY
Follow these steps to achieve the perfect "sculpted" look.
Step 1: Prep Your Lips
- Start with clean, dry lips. Gently exfoliate if needed to remove any dry, flaky skin. You can apply a light lip balm beforehand, but blot away any excess oil to ensure the liner can adhere properly for long-lasting wear.
Step 2: Sharpen Your Liner
- Use a sharpener that fits the pencil size to get a precise, fine point. This is crucial for a clean definition.
Step 3: Define and Sculpt
- The "X" Marks the Spot Technique: For the most natural-looking cupid's bow, gently draw a small "X" directly under the center of your nose, following the natural V-shape of your lips.
- Outline: Starting from the center (the "X"), carefully trace the natural outer edge of your lips towards the corners. Use short, feathery strokes instead of one harsh, continuous line for a softer, more blended result. Repeat on the other side.
- Pro-Tip for Sculpting: To create the illusion of fuller lips, you can outline just outside your natural lip line. For a more defined look, follow your exact natural line.
Step 4: Fill In (Optional but Recommended)
- To maximize longevity and prevent a visible ring of color, lightly fill in your entire lips with the liner. This creates a uniform base that helps your lipstick or gloss last longer and fade evenly. It can also be worn alone as a matte lip color.
Step 5: Blend and Finish
- If wearing alone: The soft-focus formula should blend seamlessly. You can gently press your finger over your lips to soften any hard lines for a truly blurred effect.
- If applying lipstick/gloss: Apply your lip color directly over the filled-in liner. The outlined shape will act as a guide, preventing your lipstick from bleeding.
