How to use Matte Fix Lip Pencil CRADLED
A simple, precise routine to define lips with buildable color and lasting wear.
-
Prep lips
Ensure lips are clean and dry before application. If you like a smoother base, apply a light balm and wait a moment for it to set.
-
Outline and shape
Hold the pencil at a slight angle and glide along the natural lip line to create a defined shape. Create a Cupid’s bow by drawing an X at the highest points on each side, then connect along the inner lip curve.
-
Build color
Layer the liner to achieve your desired intensity, focusing on the outer edges first for definition and then filling toward the center.
-
Finish the look
Lock color with a coat of lip balm for subtle shine, or pair with Light Lock Lip Gloss in shade Not All At Once for a pop of gloss. Do not swallow and avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
