• Made in the USA with a curated range of shades to match any mood, occasion, or complexion.

How to get the most from Powermatte

• Prep lips with a light exfoliation and optional balm to create a smooth canvas for precise application.
• Outline the lips with the pencil, then fill in from the center outward for even, saturated color.
• For maximum precision, use the slim tip to sculpt the Cupid’s bow and clean the lip edges; let it set before parting lips.
• Layer for intensity or sheer it down with a touch of balm to dial back the drama while keeping the matte finish.

Shade note: Bohemian Rhapsody

A bold, statement-making hue designed to amplify any look. Bohemian Rhapsody pairs beautifully with smoky eyes or a clean, minimalist base, and it plays well with nude or rosy liners. It’s versatile enough for daily wear or special occasions, delivering a high-impact matte result that doesn’t require constant touch-ups.

Care and removal

• Remove with a gentle makeup remover or micellar water, then follow with a hydrating lip balm to replenish moisture.
