What's in It

moisturizing oil pigment film-forming polymer

FAQ

Does it really not transfer?
Not completely, but it's close. A film forming polymer locks pigment in place, so you can eat a full meal and still have most of the color intact. You'll see some transfer on napkins or cups, but far less than normal lipstick.
Is it drying?
No. Despite being long wear, the formula stays comfortable and slightly moist. It doesn't have the tight, cracking feel of liquid matte lipsticks. The moisturizing oils in the formula keep lips from feeling stripped.
How do I remove it?
Regular makeup remover or cleansing oil works. Because it forms a film, it comes off more like a tint than a traditional lipstick. An oil based remover is easiest.
