The NYX Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain is a revolutionary lip product designed to deliver intense color, a high-shine finish, and lasting hydration. This innovative formula combines the benefits of a gloss and a stain, offering versatility in application and wear.
Key Features and Technology
At the core of the Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain is its unique water-breaking technology. This technology ensures lightweight, intense pigments that feel refreshingly cool on the lips, providing a unique sensorial experience. The formula is designed to apply as a wet-shine color that ultimately leaves behind a natural-looking, even lip stain.
Hydrating Formula
Infused with beneficial ingredients, the Lip IV formula actively supports lip hydration and prevents dryness. Key ingredients include:
- Magnesium
- Vitamin B12
- Coconut Water
These components work together to provide up to 12 hours of hydration, ensuring that lips remain comfortable and moisturized throughout the day. The formula is intentionally lightweight, avoiding any sticky or heavy sensations on the lips.
Versatile Application and Finish
The Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Stain offers a dual-functionality, acting as both a gloss and a stain. For an immediate high-shine finish, a single swipe is sufficient. To achieve a long-lasting tinted stain, allow the gloss to set for approximately 10 minutes before gently wiping off the excess gloss. This allows the color to naturally tint the lips, providing a subtle yet defined look that stays put through meals and drinks.
Application Process
The product comes with a specially designed drip-shaped doe-foot applicator, which allows for easy, precise, and smooth application. For full gloss coverage and immediate color, apply one swipe directly to the lips. To achieve a stain-only finish, the recommendation is to allow the gloss to set for 10 minutes, then wipe off.
