How does LipSense® stay on your lips? LipSense® molecularly binds to the skin (it adheres to your skin).

Why do I have to use three layers? Most importantly, the binding effect of LipSense® begins to break down when exposed to the pH of the skin. Because the first LipSense® layer is constantly exposed to the pH of the skin of the lip, the first layer will begin to break down the fastest.

Furthermore, the second layer of LipSense® is protected from exposure to the lip's pH by the first layer, therefore, the second layer does not break down as quickly as the first.

Additionally, the third layer of LipSense® sandwiches the second layer of LipSense® between the first and third layers. The second layer of LipSense® is then protected from the top down - and the bottom up! Three layers of LipSense® are required for the most beautiful, longest lasting effects.

What happens if I use more coats of LipSense®?

Moreover, four and in some cases, five layers of LipSense® may be applied to the lips. Likewise multiple layers of LipSense® may be applied, but only with the lip color formulations that have a thin viscosity. Accordingly the viscosity (thickness) of each one of the lip colors is different based upon the color formulation. Thus some viscosities are thin while others are thick and dense.

For example, colors like Dark Pink are very thick and dense. Accordingly if four or five layers of either of those two colors were to be applied to the lips, it may literally peel off of the lips. As a result,  as each layer, one on top of the other can build into a thick coating of color.

On the other hand, Pink Champagne is a very sheer, thinner formulation.  Thus  five or six layers may be applied to the lips without becoming too thick. Consequentially it may be used as layers number four or five on top of more densely three layered colors.

What is the main Ingredient in LipSense®?

First. the main liquid ingredient of LipSense® is Alcohol Denat..Thus it is thinner than water and can better suspend the tiny ingredients that are needed in the product. More importantly, the alcohol evaporates so that when actually placed on to the lip with the wand. Uniquely, the Alcohol delivers all the needed ingredients of the lip color to the lips. In fact, the Alcohol evaporates, leaving behind the long lasting color technology.
