How to use;

For Lips: Using applicator apply stain to lips. Let dry on lips, or wipe away before it dries for a lighter look. Build color by applying multiple layers. Works best when lips are freshly exfoliating and hydrated, but don’t have a layer of lip balm on or the stain won’t adhere to skin.

For Cheeks: Apply a few dots onto cheeks using the applicator and quickly blend product into skin using your finger. Build color by applying multiple layers.
