Between sipping, eating, chatting, and kissing, lips need color that can keep up. Swipe on any of these preparatory primers pre-stain for a bold lip that won't smudge.
The term "sugar lips" has never been so literal. Fresh's serum is both an overnight treatment and lip primer, with delicious benefits derived from ingredients like acmella flower extract, kigelia africana fruit extract, and sugar. One drop swipes on like a gloss with the benefits of a primer, and will evenly disperse over the entire lip area. Working as a prepping tool in the morning and/or treatment/contour element at night, it gives lips a subtle pop that's oh so sweet.
Stila's water-based primer keeps lips cool, calm, and collected under that entire color payoff. Once you've slicked on a coat, the aqua balm dissolves into skin. The water evaporates, leaving behind a conditioning veil made of vitamins A and E — in addition to encapsulated collagen microspheres that harmonize to moisten lips throughout the long wear.
Get fancy with Guerlain's luxury lip primer that layers lip product without the cakey feel. Now featuring micro beads to add to the application's moisturizing effects, the nourishing base smoothes and plumps lips to voluminous perfection.
Too Faced's insurance policy comes in a pretty tube to provide lips with a quick-dry primer that creates long-lasting color. Don't sweat bleeding or creasing; the vitamin E-enhanced blend keeps lip conditions under control as unique pigment binders sustain color.
