The Korean gel formula

Line it, blend it, then it locks.

It goes on like a creamy liner and gives you 20 seconds to blend. Then the gel sets into a stain that stays where you put it.

Good questions

Before you line up.

Can't find your answer? We reply within 24 hours.

How long do I have to blend?

About 20 seconds from when it touches your lips. Work one lip at a time: draw, then blend with a fingertip or lip brush straight away. Once it sets, it stays where you put it.

Will it really not transfer?

Once it has set it's made to stay put: coffee cups, water bottles, kisses. Give it a full minute before you eat or drink the first time, and blot once if you went heavy.

Can I wear gloss or balm on top?

Yes. The gloss itself will move like any gloss does, but the colour underneath stays. Wipe the gloss away and the liner is still there.

How long does it last?

All day for most people. Very oily food can wear the centre of the lip sooner, so carry the stick for a quick touch-up.

Is it a lip liner or a lipstick?

Both. Use the tip for a defined line or an ombré, or fill in the whole lip for a soft-matte lipstick finish.

How does the twist-up work?

Twist the two halves of the stick and fresh gel rises, like a pen. Twist a little at a time; you only need a few millimetres showing.

Where's the sharpener?

In the end cap. Pull it off, put the tip in and twist gently to bring back a sharp point.

Is it a Korean formula?

Yes. It's a Korean gel formula: creamy while you blend, then it sets into a stain.

How do I take it off?

Use an oil-based remover, a cleansing balm or micellar water. Water and soap on their own won't shift it once it's set.

I have sensitive lips. Anything to know?

Check the full ingredient list on the pack, and if you're unsure, patch-test on your inner arm first. Stop using it if your lips feel irritated.
