How can you use your Lip Ink?

The ink is multipurpose, so it’s your perfect ally to highlight your natural beauty with just one product. It’s super easy to use! In just three steps you’ll have a radiant look and you’ll be ready to go out and conquer the world:

1. Apply it on your lips from the center outward

To give them a gradient finish or “palette effect”, you can apply it in the center and then apply it with your fingers towards the edges. Your lips will look full and provocative with a very natural look.

2. Use it as a lipstick

If you want to give more prominence to your lips, you can use the ink directly with the applicator as if it were a lipstick. This will make the color stand out much more, focusing the attention on this area.

3. Apply gloss for a softer look

Apply a lip gloss or lip balm to make your lips look luminous and plumper. The gloss will give you more hydration preventing your lips from chapping, making them look more defined and healthy.

4. Apply the ink to your cheeks

The light texture of the ink makes it easy to use on different parts of the skin. Once you choose your favorite color, apply it by placing 4 dots on each cheek, distribute gently with your fingers or a blush brush.

5. Use it as a eye shadow to unify the look

You can apply a little ink to your eyelids for a more even look. Having the same color on three main areas of your face will give vibrancy and a very natural look.

How do I make it last longer?

It is essential to choose good quality ink. Some cheap inks can dry out your lips and wear out very quickly, so we recommend 4 important steps to make your lip color last longer:

• Exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin cells.
• Moisturize deeply with a balm.
• Choose an ink with a water-based formula.
• Make sure it has moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, this will help keep your lips soft so that the product will stay longer.

How long does lip ink last?

The duration time varies according to the ink formula and its components.

Generally, water-based inks with a matte finish last much longer than inks with a creamy texture. For example, Infinitek Paris lip ink has long lasting properties and will guarantee you color for a longer time.

Remember to follow the tips we gave you above to extend the duration of your ink much longer.

Which lipsticks last all day long?

Long-wear matte lipsticks can last all day just like the ink.

Remember that they are different products. The ink is perfect to project more natural looks while the matte lipsticks are ideal for important events or for those days when you simply want to highlight your makeup much more.

3 Tips to help you choose the ideal lip tint for you

Here is a checklist of what to consider when choosing your ink:

1. Check the ingredients

It is best to always opt for ingredients that guarantee softness and hydration. Choosing an ink with hyaluronic acid and natural components is ideal if you are worried about drying or cracking your lips.

2. Examine the ink texture and finish

Among the wide variety of inks, there are different formulas such as: water-based inks, creamy inks or inks with a glowy or shiny finish.

You can choose an ink with water-based texture as it leaves a matte finish making your lips and cheeks look as if they are naturally rosier.

3. Choose the ideal ink color for your skin tone

If your skin tone is “warm”, orange shades are better for you; on the other hand, if your skin tone is “cold”, you can opt for more pinkish shades.

Tip: to identify your skin tone check the color of your veins: if they are green you are warm, if they are blue or purple, you are cold. If your hair and eyes have brown tones you are warm; if your eyes are blue or black and your hair is black, your skin tone is cold.

Now you are more than ready to include lip ink in your daily routine. At Infinitek Paris we love to accompany you in your daily life and help you make the best choices for your skin care.
