Lip Pencil

Precise Defining Smoothing Long-wearing Shaping
**SAFE BEAUTY ALERT** Sharing lip products is never a good idea. Our Lip Pencil’s anhydrous water-free formula can be sharpened between uses which removes surface bacteria and minimizes the risk of viral or bacterial transfer. In contrast liquid liners are repeatedly reinserted into the tube after each use which increases the chance of contamination. The Mayo Clinic advise against sharing lip products as it raises the risk of contracting infections such as cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus.
**KEY INGREDIENTS**
**Hydrogenated Castor Oil** is a long-lasting emollient with a smooth cushiony texture that improves glide and helps damaged skin and hair feel noticeably softer and more comfortable.
**Synthetic Japan Wax** is a synthetic alternative alternative to Rhus Succedanea Fruit Wax. Rich in hydrating fatty acids including stearic acid palmitic acid and the unique C21 heneicosylic acid, it stabilizes pencil formulas creating a stronger tip that resists breaking during application.
**Stearic Acid** is a versatile fatty acid that strengthens the skin’s protective barrier and helps reduce moisture loss from the surface keeping skin softer and more resilient.

**HOW TO USE IT** 1. PREP THE LIPS - Ensure lips are clean, smooth and lightly moisturized. Blot away excess balm so the pencil adheres properly. 2. DEFINE THE CUPID’S BOW FIRST — Define the cupid’s bow by drawing an X at the top center of your lips, outlining it. Connect the lines from the corners of your mouth to the Cupid's bow on the top and the center of the bottom lip. 3. TRACE THE NATURAL LIP LINE - Use short, light strokes to trace your natural lip line, moving from the center outwards to the corners, connecting on the upper lip with Cupid's Bow. 4. FILL IN THE LIPS - Use the side of the pencil to evenly but lightly fill in the entire lip with pencil before applying lipstick for richer color and extended wear. For a fuller pout, slightly overline your natural lip shape with a matching lip pencil to create a more voluminous effect. Lightly fill in the entire lip with pencil before applying lipstick for richer color, extended wear and even fading. **PRO ALERTS** A lip pencil can add depth and dimension to any shade. Customize like a pro by blending lip colours or layering a different lip pencil under your lipstick to adjust the tone. However, the appearance of the lip color will vary based on the base color of your lips. For example, a red lip pencil will look different on fair lips compared to dark lips. Experimenting with different shades of lip pencil can revitalize an old lipstick. For example, a brown-based lip pencil will deepen a red lipstick and tone down its brightness, while a light brown pencil will subtly alter the shade of a coral lipstick. Don’t be afraid to get creative and try out new combinations! Lip pencils can add depth to any lipstick shade and create a more complex color when using a different shade from your lipstick. However, the appearance of the lip color will vary based on the base color of your lips. For instance, a red lip pencil will look different on fair lips compared to dark lips. **LIP PENCIL DOs and DONT's** **DOs + DON’Ts** DO start with a sharpened pencil to line, define and sculpt lips. DON'T press too hard when lining your lips, as this can create a bold, uneven line that shows through your lip color. DON'T feel pressured to follow lipstick colors and trends that don’t suit you. A bold, precisely lined lip is always in fashion but it doesn't have to be red. Choose shades that complement your style and skin tone.
