How to Apply LipSense
Hi y'all! So I'm just going to jump right into it! Okay? Perfect!
One of the things that sets LipSense apart is how it is applied. It's not like conventional lipstick (which isn't that why you bought it?!) So here is a step-by-step how to apply, or you can skip to the end and watch the video!
1. Shake well. This is going to mix up the pigments and the SD40 cosmetic grade alcohol inside.
2. Clean and dry your lips. (Nobody's got time for dirty lips anyways.)
2. You are going to apply in three thin layers, letting each layer dry in between. I promise this is quick (I usually apply mine in the car, because I am always running late...)! Apply with 1 swipe in 1 direction, 1 time. I personally start at the bottom corner and glide across the bottom lip, then split the top lip at the cupids bow and do the same thing. Do notrub your lips together until the gloss applied! Repeat this step two more times (3 layers, remember?). Let each layer dry in between!
3. Apply gloss! This will seal the color in and moisturize your lips through the color! Now you can rub your lips together and go forth to conquer the day! Without having to worry about lipstick on your teeth, face, or coffee mug!! (My husband's pet peeve is lipstick prints on glasses.)
When applying, you may feel a tingle. This is the SD40 cosmetic grade alcohol. If you suffer from dry lips, it will tingle a little more than you think it should. Once you have applied the gloss, the tingle will go away! This tingle will completely stop once your lips are healthy and moisturized.
During the first few uses, you may experience exfoliation. This is totally normal. Your body literally exfoliates all day, every day. LipSense does not contain wax- therefore your lips will be getting rid of all the waxy build up that you have piled on over the years. Don't worry though. I was once a chapstick junkie as well, we can get through this together. Pinky promise!
If you just read through all of that and you are still like "Whaaaat?", then this video is for you!
