Why Your Lip Nectar Feels Sticky and How to Fix It

Quick answer

Stickiness usually comes from applying too thick a layer or not letting the previous coat dry. Thin, even layers and a short wait between coats solve it.

Diagnosis and fix for sticky Lip Nectar

• Symptom: Your lips feel tacky or sticky after applying Lip Nectar, and the gloss doesn't seem to set.
• Likely cause: You applied a thick layer, or you reapplied before the first coat dried. The excess liquid prevents the stain from bonding properly.
• Corrective action: Remove the sticky layer with a gentle lip wipe or balm. Apply one thin coat of Lip Nectar and wait 30 seconds for it to set. If you want more color, add a second thin coat only after the first feels dry to the touch. If stickiness persists after two thin coats, stop. Your lips may be too dry or the product may not suit your environment.
