This small tapered brush shapes your lips and smoothes on color whether you re applying lipsticks or lipgloss. Line define and let your lips shine. It s made of the finest-quality materials and is precision-trimmed with meticulous care. It features a short lightweight wooden handle to allow for even effortless application. Gently dab brush over lipstick (or gloss) and apply by starting at center and working out toward lip line. Estée Lauder recommends cleaning your brush once per week. Simply dampen it then apply a brush cleanser using your fingers to work into a lather. Rinse well then blot excess water with a paper towel to reshape the brush.
