4. First Use Preparation
Before applying the pigment gloss, ensure your lips are clean and dry. For enhanced comfort and to prevent dryness, consider applying a lip primer or a thin layer of lip balm prior to application. Allow the primer/balm to absorb fully before proceeding.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for optimal application of the L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss:
- Prepare Lips: As mentioned in Section 4, ensure lips are prepped for application.
- Apply a Thin Layer: Using the applicator, apply a thin, even coat of the pigment gloss to your lips. The formula is highly pigmented, so a small amount is sufficient.
- Allow to Dry: Allow the first layer to dry completely. This formula is fast-drying. Avoid rubbing your lips together during this drying process to prevent stickiness and ensure an even finish.
- Re-apply (Optional): If desired, apply additional thin layers after the previous layer has fully dried.
