First and foremost, Jaikaran says to “always start with clean, exfoliated lips to ensure an even stain.” Once your lips are scrubbed clean, “using a steady hand, follow the natural lip line, slightly overlining where you want extra fullness.”
The key is to apply in one smooth, even layer; if it’s too thick, it may peel unevenly, and if it’s too thin, you won’t get enough color payoff. “I recommend letting it set fully before peeling,” Jaikaran adds. You’ll want to leave it on for at least 10 minutes. “Patience here ensures crisp, smudge-proof edges.” This timing should leave you with a soft yet vibrant stain that enhances your natural lip shape.
