Lipsticks lip liner lip gloss Lip care

Lip care for soft kisses

Start with gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and make your lips velvety soft. You can either use a special lip scrub or a home-made sugar scrub. Then apply a moisturising lip balm to intensively nourish your lips and prevent chapping.

Making lipstick last longer

To make your lipstick last all day, first apply a thin layer of lip balm and let it soak in. Use a lip liner in a similar colour to the lipstick to define the contours and fill in the lips completely. Then apply the lipstick, dab off any excess colour with a tissue and set with a touch of translucent powder.

Follow our simple advice and your lips will be perfectly prepared for unforgettable kissing moments on International Kissing Day!
