Applying Aker Fassi for lips and cheeks is a beautiful ritual, but it can seem intimidating at first. Many common issues, like a patchy color or staining, are simply due to incorrect application. Because this is a natural pigment, it behaves differently from modern makeup.

However, once you learn the right technique, you can achieve a flawless, natural tint every time. This guide provides our best tips for a perfect application.

Before You Start: The Golden Rule

The most important rule for applying Aker Fassi is: use a very small amount of water. You only need to dampen your brush or fingertip, not wet the powder in the pot. This gives you full control over the pigment.

How to Apply Aker Fassi on Your Lips

For a beautiful, even lip stain that lasts, follow these simple steps.

1. Prep Your Lips: First, make sure your lips are smooth and exfoliated. The stain will cling to dry patches, so it’s a good idea to gently scrub your lips beforehand.
2. Dampen Your Applicator: Next, lightly dampen a lip brush or your fingertip with a single drop of water or Rose Water.
3. Activate the Pigment: Gently swirl the damp applicator over the surface of the Aker Fassi powder in the pot. You will see the vibrant red color activate immediately.
4. Apply in Thin Layers: Then, apply a thin, even layer to your lips, starting from the center and blending outwards. For a more subtle look, one layer is enough.
5. Build the Color: For a more intense red, let the first layer dry for about a minute, then apply a second layer.
6. Finish with a Balm: Finally, once the stain is completely dry, you can apply a clear lip balm or our Argan Oil on top for moisture and shine without smudging.

How to Apply Aker Fassi as a Blush

Using Aker Fassi for a natural blush gives you a healthy, rosy glow that looks like it comes from within.

1. Activate the Color: As before, dampen a clean fingertip or a dense makeup brush. Then, pick up a small amount of pigment from the pot.
2. Dot and Blend Quickly: Immediately dot the color onto the apples of your cheeks. Because the stain dries quickly, you must blend it right away. Use your fingers or a brush to blend the color upwards along your cheekbones.
3. Build as Needed: Start with a light application. You can always add another layer if you want a more noticeable flush.

With this proper technique, your Aker Fassi will become your favorite go-to for a quick and beautiful touch of natural color.
