Smudge‑proof tubing mascara with up to 16 hours of wear; removes easily with warm water.
Pro tip: Wiggle from base to tip and build while slightly damp for clean definition that won’t flake.

24‑hour, kissproof and transfer‑resistant lipstick powered by a precise slim bullet for crisp lines and saturated matte payoff.
