How do I choose the right Hourglass gloss for my skin tone and style?
Start with your skin tone and the effect you want. Shades like Dusty Rose‑Mauve (found in BBROSE options) provide a natural glow with warm undertones that flatter many complexions. Choose a lightweight, non-sticky texture and look for adjustable coverage—from sheer to medium—so you get a long-lasting mirror-like finish on your lips. The range includes numbered variations that let you fine-tune intensity and the final sheen.
What’s the difference between the BBROSE and CATRICE formulas in these glosses?
BBROSE offers long-lasting glosses with a mirror finish and a flattering dusty rose-mauve shade. CATRICE focuses on hydration and a thicker feel, with peptides and hyaluronic acid, delivering a comfortable 12-hour hydration sensation and making lips look fuller. This differs from a purely luminous look, and it may influence your choice depending on whether you prioritize comfort or a more noticeable color.
When is each daily gloss best suited?
Non-sticky, lightweight formulas are great for everyday and professional use without a tacky feel. BBROSE glosses deliver a mirror effect with subtle color that’s ideal for daily wear. CATRICE versions offer intensive hydration and lasting comfort, which is helpful for long days. Choose based on your routine and how your skin tolerates the texture.
How do I choose a shade based on my undertone and makeup routine?
For fair to medium skin tones, dusty rose‑mauve shades like those in BBROSE options create a luminous look without overpowering your complexion. If you want a more defined finish or a hydrating touch-up, choose CATRICE nuances that pair well with a skincare routine featuring peptides. Try numbered shades 08, 10, or 12 to compare how the finish looks on your lips.
How do I apply and remove these glosses without damaging my lips?
Apply in thin layers and build gradually to reach your desired coverage without clumping. The goal is smooth, bright, and even payoff—without messy streaks. To remove, use a gentle makeup remover or a suitable facial oil to avoid dryness and preserve your natural hydration.
What are the best storage and care practices?
Keep the glosses away from heat and direct sunlight to protect pigments and texture. The 2.5 g format is convenient for travel so you can test different shades without overloading your vanity. Close the cap tightly after each use and store the product at room temperature to prevent the texture from becoming sticky or cracking.
