Precautions:
- Do not use if there are any abnormalities on the lip skin (including but not limited to wounds, allergies, etc.).
- Do not place where infants and young children can reach.
- Please store in a ventilated and dry place. Please cover the lid after use.
Optimal Application Steps:
Prep Lips (Optional but Recommended):
- Gently exfoliate lips if they are flaky (use a soft toothbrush or sugar scrub). Pat dry.
- Apply a thin layer of lip balm if lips are severely dry. Let it absorb for a minute, then blot off excess. (The gloss itself is deeply hydrating, so heavy balm isn't usually needed).
Shake the Tube (Gently):
- Give the tube a slight shake to ensure any potential separation of oils/silicones is reincorporated, especially if it's been sitting.
Load the Applicator:
- Pull the wand out of the tube. Avoid scraping excess gloss off on the tube neck – you want that full load for optimal coverage and ingredient delivery.
Apply to Center of Lower Lip:
- Start by placing the flat side of the doe-foot firmly onto the center of your lower lip. Don't swipe immediately.
Press & Release for Plump Activation:
- Press your lips together gently but firmly for 2-3 seconds. This warmth helps:
- Activate the cooling sensation of Menthone Glyceryl Ketal.
- Spread the film-formers (Acrylates Copolymer) evenly.
- Allow the peptides and ceramides to start interacting with your lip skin.
- This "press and hold" is key for the initial plumping feel.
Shape & Fill:
- Use the pointed tip of the doe-foot to precisely outline your lip line, starting from the cupid's bow and working outwards.
- Fill in the rest of your lips using smooth, even strokes. The formula's slip (Diisostearyl Malate, silicones) should make this effortless.
- Focus on covering the entire lip surface evenly to ensure the hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides contact all areas.
Press Lips Together Again (Lightly):
- Gently press lips together once more to blend any edges and ensure even distribution.
Avoid Over-Application:
- One full applicator load is usually sufficient for full coverage and maximum benefit. Applying too much can feel heavy and increase the chance of transfer. Remember, the peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants are potent even in a thin, even layer.
Pro Tips for Enhanced Results:
- For Maximum Plump: Reapply the gloss before the cooling sensation fully fades to reactivate it. The initial tingle peaks quickly.
- For Hydration & Barrier Repair: Apply consistently throughout the day as needed, especially before going into dry/cold environments. Reapplication delivers fresh ceramides, squalane, and humectants.
- Under Lipstick: Use a thin layer as a hydrating, plumping base under matte lipsticks to prevent drying and add dimension.
- Night Treatment: Apply a slightly thicker layer before bed as an overnight lip mask. The ceramide complex and repair ingredients work wonders while you sleep.
- Avoid Inner Lips: Don't apply too far into the wet border of your lips to prevent the flavoring agents from causing discomfort.
Why This Technique Matters:
- Activates Key Ingredients: The "press & hold" step is crucial for triggering the cooling plump and helping the film-formers set.
- Ensures Even Coverage: Precise application guarantees the active skincare ingredients (peptides, ceramides, HA, antioxidants) contact all lip surfaces for full benefit.
- Prevents Waste: Using the applicator correctly minimizes product waste of this concentrated, treatment-rich formula.
- Optimizes Feel: Applying the right amount ensures you get the luxurious shine and comfortable, non-sticky feel the silicones provide.
Storage: Keep the tube upright in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the stability of the peptides, ceramides, vitamin E, and delicate oils.
By following these steps, you'll not only get beautiful shine and color but also maximize the impressive lip-repairing, plumping, and protective benefits packed into this innovative gloss!
