L. A Colors - Lip Liner Gel Lipliner - Hottie
Application & Styling Tips
The Precision Red Lip: Red is the hardest color to apply perfectly. Use Hottie to map out your "X" on the Cupid's bow first, then draw from the outer corners of your mouth upward to meet the center. This ensures your red lip is perfectly symmetrical.
Preventing the Fade: Red lipstick often wears off in the center first. To avoid the "ring around the lips" look, fill in your entire lip with the Hottie liner before applying your lipstick. As your lipstick fades, the red gel stain underneath will keep your color looking intact.
Mattify for Drama: For a modern, velvet look, wear the liner alone over a light layer of lip balm. The high pigment of "Hottie" provides full coverage that looks stunning as a standalone matte lip.
Removal: Red gel formulas are highly pigmented. For the cleanest removal, use an oil-based cleanser or a waterproof makeup remover to ensure no red staining is left behind.
