First, the brand recommends prepping the lips with alip primer.

Next, you’ll want to apply lipstick directly to the lips.

The formula is creamy and rich, so applying it was a breezeI never felt any tugging or pulling.

created so much personality and depth, giving me the nostalgic statement I was hoping for.
