How do I make my lip stain last longer?

Exfoliate dry skin before applying to ensure an even base, and let the product dry completely before blotting or adding other layers.

Will long wearing lip stains dry out my lips?

Not always. Wonderskin and Fenty Poutsicle are specifically noted for hydrating the lips while providing lasting color.

Why does my lip stain fade unevenly?

Stains grab onto dry patches of skin. Prepping your lips to remove dead skin prevents patchy, uneven application.

Can I eat oily food while wearing a lip stain?

Oil breaks down lip stains and glosses, causing them to disappear prematurely. Avoid greasy foods if you want the color to last.

Allow sufficient drying time before blotting or applying other products. This helps the stain set properly. "It's all about technique with Nyx, you gotta let it sit for at least 10 mins."

Avoid oil-based foods to prevent premature fading of the lip stain. "If you eat food with oil in it, it’s like going to break down the lip stains and glosses til it disappears."
