🧴 Tips for Best Results
- Prep your lips with balm before application and let it absorb.
- Use lip brush or lightly press the bullet to soften the tip for better control.
- Blot after one swipe and reapply if needed for smooth, even coverage.
- Remove with oil-based remover to tackle the long-lasting stain.
