Correct shine.
Makeup artists have developed several rules for applying gloss. If you follow these rules, you can get wet, juicy, seductive sponges.
First, before applying the shine, you need to use a pencil for the lips, which corresponds to the color of the shine. This can prevent gloss from spreading. Of course, the lips will look more natural if applied gloss without a pencil.
Secondly, the lip gloss will last longer if a thin layer of tonal or powder is applied to the lips before applying it.
If you want to create a long-playing effect of succulent chubby lips, then you should apply cosmetics in the following sequence:
- layer of lipstick (remove excess with a paper towel),
- a small layer of powder,
- another layer of lipstick,
- thin layer gloss.
Third, to make your lips look fresh and tender, you need to apply a shine to the middle of your lower lip and smear it with your lips (breaking and closing them). In this case, the lips will have a thin glossy film, and not a thick layer.
Fourth , a paper napkin can remove excess gloss.
Lip gloss: alone or on lipstick.
Lip gloss can be applied both independently and on lipstick. It all depends on what kind of effect we want to achieve.
- To create an impression of naturalness and freshness, a neutral lip gloss is suitable.
- If the focus is on the eyes, then perfectly blushes the lips with a light shade of shine, they will look seductive. For the daytime image is perfectly suitable for a soft lip gloss.
- For a make-up in the style of a female vamp, a transparent shine over the lipstick will work. It will create the effect of moist lips, and at the same time emphasize the color.
- If the makeup focus on the lips, then a win-win option will be a juicy bright shine over the bright lipstick. But remember that this option is suitable only for evening make-up, since it will be inappropriate during the daytime.
