Makeup artist's advice: lip makeup


After you brought your lips in order with the help of care products, you can adhere to their decoration. It will not only be about the proper application of lipstick, but also that modern cosmetology offers women. And also the advice of the make-up artist will be given: make-up of lips - than, how, when? Every woman should know this.

How do we paint our lips?

The composition of lipstick is always approximately the same: oils (for example, avocado or castor), dyes (mainly synthetic), mastic (lanolin). The properties of each lipstick are determined by the proportion of these constituents. Matte lipsticks have the highest percentage of dyes (about 10%), so they cover the lips well and last longer. At a lip gloss the share of dyes is 5-8% lower, and the share of oils is higher. Therefore, it is brilliant and transparent. The contour pencil consists of a lipstick pressed into the rod with a high content of coloring matter. The composition of modern lipsticks also includes vitamins, polymers, nutrients and antiseptic substances - they protect the lips from external influences and ultraviolet. A good lipstick is easily applied to the lips and flattened, has a good smell, and its surface should be smooth.

What are lipsticks?

Lipsticks are moisturizing, nutritious, persistent and super-resistant, hygienic (medicinal) and lip gloss. Moisturizing softens lips, but leaves traces on clothes and quickly erased. Nutritious protects the lips from cracking in the winter season (before applying it is recommended to pre-outline the lip contour with a special pencil, it will not let the lipstick blur). Its main disadvantage is the visual effect of the flat lips. Some lipsticks can stick on the lips for 8-12 (persistent) and even 24 hours (super-resistant), but persistent lipsticks tighten the lips too much. They include vegetable and mineral waxes in combination with saturated volatile esters. A few minutes after the application, the ethers evaporate, and only bright colored film remains on the lips.

A novelty in the cosmetics for the lips are waterproof lipstick pencils. This pencil-lipstick in the "one bottle" draws an ideal contour and colors the lips in any shade. There was also a color corrector for lipstick, which is applied to lipstick with the help of a special lip brush - and a new shade is obtained. You can adjust the intensity of the color by applying a little more or less than the corrector.

Step by step

The main advice of the make-up artist on applying lipstick is everything you need to do in order. The order is as follows:

1. First - moisturizing balm.

2. Next, you should grease your lips with toning using a special sponge.

3. After that, use a contour pencil to carefully line the line of the lips. It is best to start with "V" in the middle of the upper lip and then draw the outline to the corners.

4. The entire surface of the lips should be painted not with the lipstick, but with a lip brush.

Little tricks

If the lipstick seems too bright for you, add a little foundation, tonal day cream or powder to the brush, and rub on the lips.

To lipstick does not spread, use a cotton swab to apply a corrective around the lips and blend it along the contour, without grasping the entire surface of the lips.

Plump lips are the dream of any young lady. To give lips a visual volume is very easy, you just need to skillfully distribute the lipstick. Concentrate the color in the middle of the lips, and then shade the lipstick to the edge to make the contour look paler. And you can mix two lipsticks, applying a dark in the center, and light - on the edges, gently shading the transition.

If you like pearl lipsticks, remember that they emphasize all the flaws, while a light greasy gloss, on the contrary, smoothes them. And with a strong tan, pearl lipstick makes the face hard.

In this season in the fashion of soft, chilly tones of lipstick: from pale pink to purple.

Form correction

In order to make the lips seductive, women embark on all sorts of tricks. Someone resorts to the advice of makeup artists - makeup lips from a real master can significantly improve their appearance. Yes, and the modern beauty industry panders women in the desire to be irresistible.

Recently, the professional (performed in the beauty salon by experienced specialists) is becoming more and more popular procedure for correcting the shape of the lips and increasing their volume. To increase the volume in the lip is introduced a special - corrective - drug. There are several types of similar compounds, some of them are of natural origin (for example, Restylane, gilauroic acid, etc.). They act from month to year and then completely resolve, and the lips return to their "original position".

If after such a short-term injection you are convinced that the plump mouth is undoubtedly adorned, you can resort to the help of "long-playing" drugs next time. The means of this category include "Artekol", biogel and others. They, in turn, are purely synthetic and combined - with the addition of natural substances. "Keep the form" to 5 years.

Small wrinkles around the lips are removed using injections of the same "Restylane".

Before changing the shape of the lips, be sure to consult with a specialist. Perhaps you are too strict with yourself? By the way, cosmetologists, as a rule, do not undertake to correct the form, if the mouth is too large or, conversely, tiny. Well, if the decision is made, be prepared to wait: the effect will appear only after several procedures.

However, the correct make-up of lips can help in correcting the shape. Do not forget about the benefits of permanent make-up or tattooing. It happens this way: a contour is applied to the lips with a pencil, along which the tattoo machine carefully enters the paint of the desired color in the upper layer of the skin. If desired, you can cram the entire lip. This procedure is necessary first of all for those who have a fuzzy shape of the lips, there is no red edge or there is simply no desire to grab a pencil and lipstick several times a day.
