On first use: Gently twist off the protective cap to remove and discard. – Gently swipe or swirl the stick directly onto lip and cheeks. – It dries fast, so work one cheek at a time and blend quickly with fingers, brush or sponge. – Build to your desired payoff. – Close cap back on tightly (listen for the click!) and store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. – To completely remove stain from skin, use an oil-based cleanser like Hydro Ungrip Cleansing Balm (sold separately).
