How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a lip scrub to buff away any dry flakes, then apply a thin layer of balm and let it sink in for a minute.
I line the lips with a matching liner first.
This keeps the gloss from bleeding and gives a clean edge, especially for photos.
Then I apply the gloss with the wand, starting at the center and sweeping outward.
For extra staying power, I blot once with a tissue and reapply a second thin layer.
That doubles the wear time without feeling heavy.
