Velvet Glam FAQ

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SILK GLAM, PEARL GLAM, AND VELVET GLAM?

> Silk Glam has a soft shimmer, giving it an overall frosted finish that sets to a satin shimmer matte.

> Pearl Glam appears shimmery, with visible shimmer pigments to catch and reflect light on your lips.

Both, Silk Glam and Pearl Glam dry down in about 3-5 minutes, setting into a soft, metallic, matte long-wear finish that is transfer-proof without feeling dry. The difference between Silk Glam and Pearl Glam is very minimal, almost negligible.

>Velvet Glam dries down to deliver a matte finish, but is infused with invisible micro shimmer to keep the color from looking flat. It is transfer resistant and long-lasting, with the highest comfort level of any liquid lipstick, comparable to a traditional lipstick, but with much longer wear, and a slightly longer set time of 5-10 minutes.

We recommend not eating or drinking for at least 10 minutes after applying any Runway Rogue liquid lipstick, to ensure that the color becomes truly transfer-proof.

ALL Liquid lipsticks are VEGAN, CRUELTY-FREE, PARABEN-FREE, MADE IN THE USA

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIQUID LIPSTICK AND CLASSIC BULLET LIPSTICK?

Liquid Lipsticks are designed to be long wear, and are applied with a doe foot applicator. It is intended to be applied once and then stay on until you take it off.

Classic bullet style lipsticks are applied directly to the lips with a traditional, twist-up lipstick product. They are creamy and moist, and ideal for those who have a tendency for dry lips and don't mind reapplying. 

 

DOES VELVET GLAM LIQUID LIPSTICK HAVE A MATTE FINISH?

Velvet Glam Liquid Lipstick is the ultimate long-wear, matte -not flat- long-wear liquid lipstick!  Apply Velvet Glam Liquid Lipstick to clean, exfoliated lips and allow 5-10 minutes for it to set for the perfect, soft matte finish.

 

IS VELVET GLAM LIQUID LIPSTICK FULL COVERAGE?

Yes, Velvet Glam provides full coverage and is designed to be used in a single layer. Adding too much product can make the product look patchy or feel dry.

 

IS VELVET GLAM LIQUID LIPSTICK LONG WEAR?

Yes, Velvet Glam is a long wear product. However, there are certain factors that may reduce the long wear functionality, such as adding a gloss, or getting oils from food on your lips, since oil, or oil-based makeup removers are used to remove the product.

 

WILL VELVET GLAM LIQUID LIPSTICK DRY OUT MY LIPS?

A long-wear formula will never be as moisturizing as a traditional, bullet-style lipstick or gloss. The oils that provide the moisture in classic lipsticks and glosses are the same oils that prevent them from being long wear or transfer-proof. With long-wear products, the best outcome is usually achieved by applying long wear products to exfoliated, non-chapped lips. A pro tip for soft lips with liquid lipstick is to drench your lips in a thick layer of lip balm or rich lip moisturizer, either overnight or a few minutes before applying the liquid lipstick. Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot or wipe it off as much of the balm as possible, THEN apply the liquid lipstick. A little goes a long way, so use the thinnest possible layer to get your desired coverage. After the lipstick completely dries, you can top with a gloss if you desire a glossier look, but this will affect the long wear and transfer proof properties. Still, a lot of our customers tell us that adding gloss on top is their preferred method, because it provides a good balance of long wear and moisture.
