Laura Mercier Velour Lip Powder in New York

What it is: A trio of lightweight lip powders that deliver high-impact color.What it does: The creamy powders transform your lips with a matte finish and intense metallic sheen. Weightless, velvety and designed for comfortable wear, they can be worn alone, mixed or layered for customizable looks. How to use: Begin with the Base Balm, applying to lips with your fingers or a brush. Then, apply the shades directly to lips with a brush or fingers. Using a brush will create a more defined lip look, while using your fingers will create a softer effect. Use a pressing motion to easily pack pigment onto the lips. Continue adding layers for more intensity. Use one shade alone or layer multiple shades to create more depth. Top with Base Balm for additional hydration.Pro tips: To create dimension, apply the darkest shade all over the lips. Take a second shade and apply in the inner half of the bottom lip. This will create dimension and make your lips look fuller. To create a more defined lip, use with a lip pencil. To balance the intense color and texture of Velour Lip Powder, pair with luminous skin and matte shade around the eyes.
