01 / The approach

Make it yours.

  1. Choose between clear shine and sheer colour before choosing a product.

  2. Apply a thin layer first. Add more at the centre for a stronger glossy effect.

  3. Keep overnight lip care as a separate step; it is not a direct substitute for daytime gloss.

02 / The product edit
