What you need with LipSense

The LipSense kit is four decisions: LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color for the shade, LipSense Moisturizing Gloss for the finish and the daily refresh, LipSense Ooops! Lip Color Remover for correction and clean removal, and the LipSense Long-Lasting Lip Liner Pencil when the edge matters. LipSense Cream is a separate one-layer, no-Gloss formula.

section 01

Start LipSense with Color and Moisturizing Gloss

why it matters

product value & fit

LipSense begins with two products working together.

LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color lays the shade down and keeps it there. LipSense Moisturizing Gloss goes over the top for comfort and shine after the color sets.

Start with both so the method works as designed from the first wear. LipSense Cream is a different formula altogether: one even layer, no Gloss.

how to use itselection, application & troubleshooting

Select LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color first, then the LipSense Moisturizing Gloss that matches her preferred comfort and finish. Present both at checkout, because layered Color finished with Gloss is the method. Present LipSense Cream separately; it goes on in one even layer and needs no Gloss.

The Permeable Polymer Matrix builds LipSense Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color's breathable color film, while a compatible LipSense Moisturizing Gloss changes surface slip, shine and conditioning feel. Two different formulas, designed to be used together. How Does LipSense Work? explains how Color and Gloss work together.

why it matters

product value & fit

One shade, and as many finishes as you want.

Once the color layers set, LipSense Moisturizing Gloss is the part you get to play with: choose one, blend two into something nobody else has, or stack finishes for depth. Tint, sheen, and dimension all move. The shade does not.

That is why a small gloss drawer beats a big lipstick drawer.

how to use itselection, application & troubleshooting

After the color layers set, help her select one compatible LipSense Moisturizing Gloss, combine glosses into a custom blend, or stack gloss finishes. Compare tint, sheen, and dimension in the same light used for shade selection. Keep the color order unchanged while you compare, then record the full combination. Layered LipSense color

Gloss acts on a color film that has already formed, so the pigment stack and the surface finish are two independent visual stages. Selecting, blending or stacking compatible Glosses changes tint, reflected light and apparent dimension without rebuilding the pigment layers.

why it matters

product value & fit

Your color is already set. Gloss is the part designed to be refreshed through the day for more comfort or shine.

One swipe of LipSense Moisturizing Gloss brings the slip and the light back, and it takes about as long as checking your phone. No long touchup, no rebuilding, no starting the day over at three in the afternoon.

Keep it in the bag you carry, not the kit you pack for occasions.

how to use itselection, application & troubleshooting

At the end of the service, show her how little Gloss a surface refresh needs, and place it in the daily-use bag rather than the occasional kit. For bridal or set work, label each client's Gloss for hygienic touchups. Reapply to restore the chosen finish; do not restart the color layers unless the look is coming off.

A Gloss refresh works on the outer surface while the set color film stays where it is. That is why touchup restores slip and luster without adding more pigment, and why one repeatable surface step holds the chosen finish through normal wear.

section 04

Add LipSense Ooops! Lip Color Remover before the first wear

why it matters

product value & fit

Color built to survive dinner deserves the remover made for it.

LipSense Ooops! Lip Color Remover belongs in the first purchase, ready for the first wear. It handles a wobbly edge while you are still applying and full removal at the end of the day.

Dip the Ooops! wand, move its applicator gently over the LipSense Color, then use a tissue to wipe the area clean. Scrubbing only adds friction.

how to use itselection, application & troubleshooting

Keep LipSense Ooops! Lip Color Remover at the station for edge correction, then include it in her first kit for removal at home. At the station, dip the precision wand. Move the applicator gently across the color, then clean the area with tissue. Store remover and clean applicators in separate areas of a professional kit.

the scienceformula · mechanism · evidence

Every part of Ooops! has a job: Isostearyl Alcohol softens the set color film; Isohexadecane is the spreading solvent; Coco-Caprylate, Retinyl Palmitate, Panthenol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, and Tocopheryl Acetate condition. The emollient solvent base helps loosen the set lip film while the conditioning ingredients support comfortable removal. Remove the color without scrubbing

product value & fit

Some lip looks are all softness; others need a crisp edge. LipSense Long-Lasting Lip Liner Pencil is for the second kind.

Its waterproof, smudge-resistant color holds a bold perimeter, corrects asymmetry, and stays composed through a camera close-up.

If the look wants a soft, diffused outline, skip it. Let the soft edge stay soft.

how to use itselection, application & troubleshooting

Map the shape with light strokes, fill with matching color, and sharpen the point as needed. For asymmetry, a bold perimeter, or a camera-ready edge, begin with LipSense Long-Lasting Lip Liner Pencil before LipSense Color. Skip it for a softly diffused edge.

The current pencil uses Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil and Isoamyl Laurate in a creamy, matte, waterproof film. It sharpens the edge when the look calls for it without changing the Color-and-Gloss method.
