Lip and color

Does long-wear lip color dry out your lips?

Long-wear lip color can feel comfortable: with LipSense, set the Color in thin layers and keep Moisturizing Gloss over it for conditioning comfort and shine.

LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color takes the layered route: LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color uses the Permeable Polymer Matrix — a breathable color film that lets compatible Moisturizing Gloss conditioners pass through to the lips beneath, so long-wear color also conditions through the day. The current method protects that feel: For lasting LipSense, start with completely clean, dry lips, shake Color vigorously, sweep three very thin layers in one direction, let each one flash off—the cool feeling is the layer setting—then seal the third layer with required Gloss. From there, refresh with more Gloss for comfort or shine without rebuilding the color underneath.

LipSense Cream is separate: its water-based Hydro-Gel Matrix gives one-layer color with immediate hydration and does not require Gloss. Shop LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color when layered, Gloss-finished wear is the priority. Choose Cream as the alternative when one-step hydration leads; shop LipSense Cream.
