How to choose the right lipstick

Lipstick is a necessary thing, for every woman, it makes the lips more beautiful, protects them from the effects of the external environment, and moisturizes. A properly chosen lipstick is a true friend, because if you are satisfied with it, then the chosen shade and brand will be with you all your life. The choice issue includes not only the selection of colors, but also several other factors: texture, odor, composition, appearance, shelf life. There are women who neglect the use of lipstick, and in fact it has not only decorative properties, but also helps visually reduce or enlarge the lips, visually adjust the oval of the face, well, the beneficial properties mentioned above.

For an accurate choice it is necessary to use testers, that is probes, thanks to them it is possible to recognize all criteria necessary for us.

So, how to choose the right lipstick? First of all, you need to decide what lipstick you need.

Resistant - the name speaks for itself. If you need lipstick for a celebration or you plan a long trip, then this is a thing of prime necessity. When it is used, it is necessary to remove excess moisture and fat from the lips and not to eat anything containing it, and even this lipstick sometimes dehydrates the skin of the lips, so its continued use is still not recommended. As an option for special occasions, it fits perfectly.

Matte - this lipstick contains a large amount of wax and powder, therefore absolutely devoid of shine, but the color is always filled with depth and dignity. This option is suitable for girls with puffy lips, because they do not visually increase them, but the holders of narrow lips do not fit it, because they will visually reduce them. Its unconditional dignity is that it gives exceptional elegance and nobility to any mouth, but the drawback is that only the lips in perfect condition, without any roughness and dryness, can wear such lipstick.

Satin is a lipstick with a radiant shine, it visually enlarges the mouth, so the owners of chubby sponges should use it with great apprehension, but still, they can, but for girls with the opposite lip structure it is simply an indispensable option. In addition, it very well and uniformly lies on the lips, moisturizes them and makes the skin of the lips smoother. And this lipstick will help to hide, if the lips a little weather.

Still of course there are hygienic lipsticks that treat lips and liquid shines that are more suitable for summer time.

So, with the type we have decided, now we need to understand the following indicators.

Texture - when applying lipstick, it should lie down easily and gently, there should not be a feeling of discomfort, tightness of the lips and heaviness. If you feel something like that, then you should set the tube aside.

Smell - it is generally believed that a good lipstick should not have a smell at all, but if it is present, then it needs to be not strong and pleasant for you.

Composition - lipstick should first of all contain vitamin E, ceramides, aloe, vegetable oils, waxes or other moisturizers, this will help your lips not to dry with wind and other environmental influences. Also in its composition should be ultraviolet filters that protect against exposure to sunlight. Well, do not forget that women eat about a tube of lipstick per year, so various vitamin supplements will allow it to be less unpleasant.

Appearance - lipstick should have a uniform texture, without any streaks and inclusions, unless it is a color element. The tube itself should also be whole, without droplets and cracks.

Shelf life - experts believe that more than two years from the date of production, lipstick can not be stored, but the producers think otherwise. If lipstick has unnatural, unpleasant smells, it should not be used, and when buying, look at the date of manufacture necessarily.

We have analyzed all the necessary factors to consider when choosing a lipstick, the main thing I want to say is do not neglect this remarkable invention of the Ancient Egyptians.
