The moist effect, sparkles on the lips - it all comes and goes. And the eternal version - the classic red lipstick - remains. This is the same fetish as high-heeled shoes, a small black dress or a long mouthpiece. In the XX century, red lipstick had time to visit and a magic wand that turned ordinary starlets into great cinemas, and a symbol of an unabashed sexual challenge, and the main thing in the makeup of any woman, and even a way to make a political statement.
As early as the beginning of the XIX century, bright makeup and a respectable woman were incompatible. But in the 1910s the suffragettes who fought for the civil rights of the fair sex became a firm hand to apply a scarlet smear on their lips - a symbol of the liberation and emancipation of women. By the way, it was then and was invented a classic case with a "wrinkled" from it red lipstick.
The whole first half of the twentieth century was marked by a red lipstick. In the 1920s in the United States, it became an indispensable attribute of any woman who considered herself a fashionista. And the film stars had real - now, it seems, already lost - a halo of glamor, for which red lipstick was the main component. The star of the silent movie Ted Bar, dazzlingly black eyes, and lips blood-red, received the nickname "vamp" (short for "vampire"). This combination of red and black is still a classic of vamp makeup, and the nickname again and again goes to her numerous followers.
In the 90s, red lipstick flashed here and there in glossy magazines, on the faces of top models Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer. It was then that the shade of Viva Glam lipstick of bright scarlet color was created, which is very popular to this day. He looks very intense and passionate. Very suitable for autumn cherry red color. And the darker and richer, the better. With this color, the lips will become completely different - softer, more expressive and moisturized. You can try the shade of Rum Riche - juicy and at the same time discreet, not at all screaming.
Pick up the tone
There is a classic red lipstick supporters and today - singer Gwen Stefania, kinodivy Renata Litvinova and Scarlett Johansson. By the way, the last two beauties successfully refute the common misconception: "I can not use red lipstick, because my lips are too thin or too puffy." And the world legislators of the fashion makeup seductively whisper that red lipstick goes ... to everyone, absolutely everything. After all, it visually "whitens" the skin and teeth, creating your appearance the effect of a porcelain pupa. It should only be taken into account that there are many shades of red lipstick. Choose from them "your" is not at all easy. But it's worth it, because the red lips really do.
You need to consider the shade of the skin. If he gravitates to pink, you need "cool" tones of lipstick with a bluish or pinkish tinge. Owners of peach or golden skin need "warm" shades of red, tending to orange.
Lipstick with a brownish tinge is the least difficult to handle - it goes to most people. Well, as for the "real", frankly red lipstick with no discernible shades, it will best look at the light skin with a pinkish tinge. By the way, leading make-up artists of the world classify the ratio of lipstick and complexion as follows: tomato-red shades - for very light skin, red-lilac and crimson - for moderately light, and cranberry and wine - for swarty.
If you doubt whether this or that color of lipstick is right for you, just put a lipstick to your face and look at your skin. If the complexion combined with lipstick does not seem earthy - this is your lipstick. It is necessary to take into account the shade of the teeth. If the enamel has a yellowish hue, you need to abandon the lipsticks that gravitate toward the orange. And as for red lipstick, it is not always true that "red is an option, rather an evening one". If it is an element of a personal, individual style, it is also acceptable in the daytime. You can combine red lipstick with red accessories, and you can leave the only bright "spot" in your image.
Main rules
So, today, red lipstick does not require either the evening time of the day, or the appearance of a light, nor a red convertible. Nevertheless, she dictates her own rules, and the main one is impeccable makeup.
A decent background for scarlet lips can only become smooth skin and an ideal tone on the face, and a decent base is immaculately groomed lips . On the weather-beaten, scaly lips, red lipstick will only emphasize shortcomings. Do not forget about it. We only note that a full-fledged lip care means not only moisturizing and protection, but also exfoliation. Peeling should be done very carefully. Because the delicate skin of the lips is easily traumatized. It is best to use special scrubs for the skin of the lips, although you can do without them. Massage your lips with a toothbrush with soft bristles for 30 seconds. Try to do it regularly. And after exfoliating, apply lip balm.
If you use red lipstick, the blush should be barely noticeable. Eyes, too, should not compete with the lips. It's best to forget about the black pencil and go straight to the mascara. Makeup artists recommend combining red lipstick with a natural palette of shadows - beige, caramel, milk. And do not forget: red lipstick is not the best material for experiments with lip form correction. It is better to follow the natural contour.
Classic canons require combining red lipstick with the same red nail varnish. However, who in our eclectic time unquestioningly follows the rules of the times of our grandmothers? An ideal companion of scarlet lipstick make-up artists call the French manicure. But if you still made a choice in favor of carnivorous red nails, the varnish should have been matched to the tone for lipstick (in other words, they should be from the same cosmetic line).
They say that red goes only beautiful? Equip our advice! And check this statement as soon as possible! Add to "red" the perfect complexion and a meaningful look from under the dramatic black lashes. Nothing more is required. Hopefully, the classic of the legendary lipstick will have to face you. And you will appreciate your new image.
