Expert Tips for Kiss-Proof, Long-Lasting Lipstick from ICI PARIS XL

Perfect for International Kissing Day on July 6, these proven tips from ICI PARIS XL's seasoned beauty experts ensure your lipstick stays flawless all day—even after plenty of kisses. Here's how to make your lips truly kiss- and lipstick-proof:

1. Exfoliate! Preparation is key to long-wear lipstick. Smooth lips not only look better but hold color longer. Weekly, gently scrub with a clean, soft toothbrush or a dedicated lip scrub for that perfect base.

2. Prime! Start with a thin layer of foundation or lip primer. This creates a smooth surface for better adhesion, helping your lipstick last longer.

3. Powder! Before lipstick, dust your lips with compact or loose powder. It mattifies and reduces moisture, ensuring the color grips firmly.

Mega Tip: For all-night staying power, apply lipstick, then dust with transparent powder to lock it in without altering the shade.

Especially on Kissing Day (July 6, 2021), ICI PARIS XL offers 25% off (almost) all lip products.
