Matte lipstick helps girls look confident and elegant. But applying this type of lipstick carries a few secrets and requires accuracy and preparation of the lips.

But the final result will make you catch a lot of admiring and envious looks.

Peculiarities

One of the main features matte lipstick is that it creates the effect of high cost and elegance.

This is due to the dense velvety texture. But this is a double-edged "blade" - incorrect application will only emphasize the imperfections of the lips.

Also, the benefits include versatility, matte lipstick, unlike glossy, looks out of place both at the official ball and at gatherings with friends.

And its durability won't force you to reapply color after every few sips, and it won't bleed or flake if applied correctly.

It looks best on plump lips, the lipstick fits perfectly and emphasizes their volume.

But the owners thinner lips do not worry, with careful preparation and a couple of "chips" from makeup artists, your lips will receive.

Lip preparation

First you need to properly prepare for applying matte lipstick:

Application rules

Margarita, I see you are an expert in the use of matte lipstick! I really liked your recommendations, I will definitely use it, I always wanted one, but somehow I didn’t dare. I have enough plump lips from nature, and if I paint them, they seem even bigger. So I mostly used glosses to highlight them. But maybe it's all about the shade.

Answer to Irina: "Very beautiful options on girls. I've always been wary of this kind of lipstick, but what I see I like. And I'll probably still try to get one of these for testing. And since my skin is quite dark, I probably need something darker. Most likely it will be cherry"

Thin lips

It is believed that thin lips will become even thinner if you make them up with matte lipstick. In fact, this is not true at all! You just need to apply the product correctly.

1. A little secret to visually enlarge the lips: be sure to shade the entire surface of the lips with a pencil inside the contour. Let the color of the pencil match the shade of lipstick. You can go a little beyond the contours of your lips, making them visually a little wider.
2. Apply a little highlighter to the upper corners of the lips - this simple technique will allow you to make them visually more voluminous.
3. And finally, the last and main touch is lipstick. We used Avon's Matte Excellence trendy berry shade Juicy Pink.

Margaret's review: This is my first time using matte lipstick. I was very pleased with the pleasant aroma and palette of colors: bright, saturated - for every taste! On my lips, they are without peeling and smooth, the lipstick lay down easily and retained its color for a long time. It seemed to me that the lipstick does not moisturize the lips much, although the components that provide moisture would hardly give a matte effect.

asymmetrical lips

If your lips are slightly asymmetrical, this is not a reason to refuse matte lipstick. Just don't use a pencil. A clear outline is not always necessary, especially since modern fashion allows it. The effect of kissed lips is more relevant than ever!

1. First, apply lipstick in one layer (we chose the dark Avon "Matte Superiority" shade "Berry Cocktail").
2. Blot your lips with a tissue, lightly powder, apply a second layer.
3. Pay special attention to the middle of the lips - let the color be the most saturated there. You can even apply a little darker lipstick to the middle of your bottom lip. It will add volume and make lips sensual!

Nino's review: I rarely used matte lipsticks in the past for the simple reason that they dry out my lips. But I really liked the texture of Avon Matte Superiority lipstick - on the skin this lipstick feels like moisturizing. In addition, the product is applied without any problems - the lipstick goes on evenly, I didn't even need a brush!

plump lips

If you have plump lips, like our model, then do not be afraid to emphasize their volume with bright colors. On the contrary, the more lucky you are with the shape of the lips, the more intense the lipstick can be!

1. Outline your lips with a lip liner (in our case, this is Avon's Ultra lip liner, shade Scarlet).
2. For greater clarity, spread the lipstick on the lips with a thin brush. For our heroine, we chose Avon's bright matte lipstick in Red Superiority, shifting the focus of the make-up to the lips.
3. If the contour is not clear enough or you smeared lipstick during application, do not rush to wash it! Just use a dense corrector. Apply a little of the product to a brush or cotton swab and mask the excess, making the lip contour perfectly even.

Camille's review: Avon Matte Superiority Lipstick is highly pigmented and leaves a great matte texture on the lips. It is velvety, easy to apply, does not roll, does not clog into the folds of the lips. I was pleasantly surprised that in the mass market I found a worthy replacement for my favorite, but expensive lipstick.

Unfortunately, matte lipsticks often leave the lips feeling dry. Lip balm, previously applied to their surface, can cope with this problem. However, in some cases, it can only spoil the final result. Therefore, approach the choice of lipstick responsibly - pay attention not only to the shade, but also to its texture and composition. For example, try Avon's Matte Excellence. It contains moisturizing ingredients, which guarantees your lips a feeling of comfort and eliminates the need for additional beauty products.

Since matte lipstick is now gaining incredible popularity - all glossy magazines, instagrams and photos on social networks are full of bright photos with plump luxurious lips, of course, a huge number of questions began to appear - “How to choose matte lipstick?”, “How to apply it correctly?” , "How to choose the right color?" etc.

Today we will consider the question of how to properly apply such lipstick so that it looks really luxurious on your lips.

So, it all starts with the fact that such a lipstick must also be chosen correctly so that it matches the quality. And you should not skimp here, so that there are no lumps on the lips, color fade or discomfort.

Such lipstick cannot be cheap, since its composition is important - these are various caring components - amino acids, oils, vitamins A and C, UV filters and much more. It is these components that will directly make matte lipstick look perfect on your lips. Therefore, first of all, carefully study the composition.

Lipstick should smell good, because expiration dates, if they are expired, will not allow you to achieve the desired effect.

And when applying matte lipstick, you should feel light and there should not be any feeling of dryness and tightness.

And in appearance, lipstick, or the contents in a tube, for example lipstick-mousse, should be even, homogeneous, in no case should there be any smudges of oil. Just a flat and smooth mass.

Not unimportant and properly selected color matte lipstick. There are many nuances here. Read about it in the next editions of the articles.

And now we continue to learn how to apply matte lipstick correctly.

The most important thing here is to take care of the smoothness of your lips. Matte lipstick will look perfect only on perfectly even lips. To do this, perform caring procedures. Apply a special lip scrub, or massage the lips with candied honey, rinse with warm water and apply a softening balm, let it absorb well into the skin of the lips.

Next, blot your lips with a napkin and powder a little, circle the contour with a lip pencil. You can use a special brush to blend the pencil from the inside for an ombre effect. Contrasting shades are allowed in this case, and the lip liner may well be a couple of shades darker than the lipstick itself. But remember that bright and overly contrasting makeup is not appropriate for daytime makeup, which you apply in the morning while going to work or school. By using contour pencil you can also adjust the size of the lips. You can make your lips thinner by drawing a lip line just below your own lip contour. If you circle the contour just above the natural contour, then the lips will visually look larger.

Now let's apply lipstick. If there is no special applicator for applying mousse lipstick or ordinary compact lipstick, then it is better to use a special brush. This way you can apply the lipstick evenly. You can even blot the first layer gently with a tissue (letting it dry and absorb a little), and reapply another layer, so the lipstick will last much longer, and the color will become more saturated and vibrant.

All of the above criteria are quite suitable for the novelty of this season - lipstick-mousse from the well-known brand of direct sales "Oriflame". Due to the fact that the company works without intermediaries, it was possible to make its cost as comfortable as possible, and the quality is excellent. No overpayments to intermediaries. Quality - from the manufacturer.

If you still have not understood and accepted all the benefits of matte lipstick, then you have not experimented (or did it wrong) with makeup. First of all, you need to learn the main rules for its application. If the rules are followed, nothing is sexier and more natural than matte lipstick.

Seductive lips and matte lipstick

That is why we decided to bring here the main recommendations about everything related to the selection, use and combinations with this magical lip beauty product.

Rules for applying matte lipstick

1. Lips should be looked after in the same way as hair, teeth, figure and so on. This means that there should not be any extra bumps on the lips, because when applying matte lipstick, the smallest defects will become more noticeable. Before applying lipstick, you will have to exfoliate either with a scrub or using a toothbrush and petroleum jelly.
2. Usually, a lip balm (nourishing and moisturizing) should be applied to the lips every evening. If you have dry skin or know that matte lipstick will dry out your lips, you may need to apply a balm after peeling. If there is no balm, a high-quality nourishing cream will do. But after the application procedure, do not immediately start applying lipstick, let the cream (balm) be absorbed and dry a little, otherwise your lips will “float”.
3. Someone traces the outline with a pencil before applying lipstick. Those who wish to change the contour do so after application. You can choose a pencil either to match the lipstick, or under the natural tone of the lips, or a tone darker than the lipstick. If you are going to “narrow” your lips, draw the contour not along the edge, but slightly stepping back “inside”. If you want to visually enlarge your lips, contour above (top) and below (bottom) the contour lines.
4. It is better to paint lips with a brush, in extreme cases, with a finger, the color will turn out to be more even.
5. Before "making" lips, take care of the perfect tone of the face. Any lipstick requires clean skin.

Ombre or "live" lips and matte lipstick

Oddly enough, but the more you pay attention to the lips, the more seductive they will look. With the gradient effect, you can make the lips lighter in the middle and darker in the corners. To do this, you must perform the following steps:

1. Apply a light foundation all over your lips.
2. Make the contours with a light pencil, blend.
3. Fill in the lips with lipstick in the same tone as the pencil.
4. With a darker pencil, draw the contours of the corners of the lips.
5. Use a brush with a darker lipstick to blend the corners.
6. Any excess layers are best removed with a napkin.
7. You can make an ombre in other directions: highlight not the middle of the lips with light, but, for example, part upper lip. Consistently apply horizontal stripes of different shades (no more than three), visually dividing the lips into three horizontal zones.
8. The ombre effect on the lips should be done with the help of matte lipstick, glossy shades simply mix with each other.
9. It is best to remove lipstick at night with a special makeup remover.

How to choose your matte lipstick color?

Skin that gravitates towards a yellow tint requires warm tones of lipsticks. If the skin is pronounced pink, choose cool lipstick tones for yourself. It is best to determine the properties of the skin by washing off absolutely all makeup and placing a well-lit mirror in front of you. Alternately apply handkerchiefs of a cold pink color and a pronounced yellow to your face. Which combination you like will be the main one for determining important nuance- the warmth or coolness of your skin.

Matte lipstick shades

We list the most popular tones.

1. Red- from reddish-orange (i.e. warm) to dark wine red (i.e. cool) suits everyone. But like bright and any color, it is not welcome in a business style. If, strictly following the rules given here, you cannot determine whether carrot red or burgundy red suits you or does not suit you, this means that you have a combined color type, and it will be difficult for you to choose lipstick. You will need a look from the outside and a consultation with a stylist. But, as a rule, girls cope with the task on their own.
2. Pink - also depends on the warmth / coldness of the shade. This color is considered to be romantic. But not bright pink is quite possible to fit into a business dress code.
3. neutral Nude (flesh) shades are considered. Once you decide which tone suits you best (from pale pink to beige), you can make it everyday.
4. Purple (lilac, fuchsia) shades should be selected according to the usual principle, dividing them into cold / warm and smearing a piece of lips in front of a mirror before applying makeup. These tones require a brighter evening make-up and, accordingly, are suitable for parties.

How to buy matte lipstick and not make a mistake?

Observe the surface of the lipstick in the tube, it should be perfectly flat. Usually lipstick should be "tasted" by applying on the wrist, if you feel tightness, this should alert you.

High-quality lipstick should smell nice, do not be shy to smell it. Check out the composition. Amino acids, oils, vitamins A and C, UV filters are important components of a quality product. Note that palm wax is preferable to beeswax. Explicitly chemical names are best excluded from your everyday life.

You should not save on the quality of lipstick, just as you should not "take away" little-known non-certified brands. Follow the reviews on the Internet, and you will always be aware of which lipstick is worth taking and which one is better to avoid.

Important advice from the editors

If you want to improve the condition of your skin, special attention should be paid to the creams you use. A frightening figure - in 97% of creams of famous brands there are substances that poison our body. The main components, because of which all the troubles on the labels are referred to as methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, E214-E219. Parabens negatively affect the skin and can also cause hormonal imbalances. But the worst thing is that this muck gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise you to refrain from using products containing these substances. Recently, the experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of natural creams, where the first place was taken by funds from Mulsan Сosmetic, a leader in the production of completely natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend visiting the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

To adjust the shape after application, use the pencil again, and the edges can be slightly shaded with a brush or cotton swab - this will remove all excess lipstick and hide imperfections.

popular color

To emphasize it, you need a suitable “ensemble” of accompanying makeup and clothing.

Clothing should be harmonious: either the same color as lipstick, or black or white.

In another case, bright clothes will “kill” the effect of red matte lipstick.

• to get a more matte effect, makeup artists advise using some powder before and immediately after application;
• recommended for thin lips highlighter application to the top corners. They will visually become more voluminous;
• if the lips are uneven, then give up a clear outline. Instead, pay special attention to the middle of the lips, make the color more saturated there - this will add extra volume;

Almost every woman actively uses lipstick, and without it she cannot imagine her everyday look.

Red, pink, brown and mother-of-pearl - there can be many shades, but the composition of such a cosmetic product is almost always the same. What does a cosmetic product consist of, and is it possible to make it at home.

Approximate composition

Each brand-manufacturer boasts of its composition of lipstick. These secrets of a cosmetic product are divulged with great reluctance, because they can be easily used by competitors. However, the main components used for production always remain the same.

What are the components in question:

1. Cosmetic wax. It is thanks to him that the consistency of the product is determined. Most commonly used beeswax, but in many compositions there is a place for candell and carnauba wax.
2. Various natural oils. Thanks to this component, lipstick is always easily applied to the lips, and most often manufacturers use shea butter, olives, and jojoba.
3. Dyes of artificial and natural origin.

The main function of the dye is to give the product exactly the attractive color for which it is purchased. Among the dyes, beet juice, boric acid, coconut resin and others are especially popular.

CompositionYoung princesses can not do without.

It is advisable for girls to study the composition before buying, since many manufacturers use far from the most safe components. So, for example, in the composition of some products you can find mineral oils, which are products of oil production, and are considered very harmful to health.

Modern lipsticks incorporate perfume fragrances (lavender, jasmine), which give them a pleasant taste and aroma.

They also have a place for antioxidants. The fact is that without the use of an antioxidant, lipstick can harden right on the lips.

• vitamins of groups A, B and C, which heal wounds and soften delicate skin lips;
• natural oils, in particular, jojoba, apricot and castor oil;

With the help of heating and elementary ingenuity, you can easily restore your favorite sponge. What needs to be done for this:

• The piece that has fallen off should be put aside, and the remnants of lipstick in the tube should be carefully leveled with a toothpick.

• After 1-2 minutes of heating, a piece that has fallen off should be brought to the fracture site, carefully fixing it.
• Lipstick is sent to the refrigerator for half an hour, after which it can be safely used.

Previously, broken lipstick was completely melted in a spoon over a fire, after which it was poured into a mold. However, when using this method, the cosmetic product may change color and acquire an unpleasant odor.

Broken and useful

If only the tip falls off the lipstick, then there is no point in carrying out such complex manipulations. If it is broken at the base, you can restore lipstick to a second life with a lighter and half an hour of exposure to cold.

• many professionals carefully paint over the corners with a pencil before applying, and then apply lipstick in two layers (after the first, you need to blot your lips with a napkin);
• once a week, you can use a delicate peeling for the lips, and also every day before going to bed, you need to apply a moisturizer on them.
  Also, for girls suffering from rolling lipstick, it is better to choose persistent cosmetic options, because they stay on the lips much longer.

We fight with the "spools"

What to do if a child ate hygienic lipstick

Eating mom's cosmetics is a favorite pastime for many kids. That's just tasting blush or tonal products can end in diarrhea, and when eating hygienic lipstick, there are no serious health consequences.

The fact is that hygienic lipstick consists mainly of natural ingredients, oils and vitamins that are harmless to the baby's body. Many mothers from early childhood apply such a remedy to their lips in cold or dry weather, and they are successfully eaten without any consequences.

If the child has colic, and his health worsens, it is better to consult a doctor. Here we can talk about individual intolerance to the components of a cosmetic product.

The consequences of eating ordinary lipstick can be much more serious, since it contains complex dyes, and sometimes preservatives. Here the risk of intolerance to the components is much higher.

Do you want lipstick not to roll and not fade on your lips for as long as possible? Take advantage of our tips!

First of all, choose the right shade for yourself, and then - it's up to you. You just need to apply a few simple methods that prolong the durability of lipstick.

1. Avoid pearly tones

Remember: all sparkling shades are less durable than matte ones. If you want lipstick to last at least a few hours, apply matte cosmetic product creamy structure, which contains silicone. This substance will not allow lipstick to come into contact with sebum, which prevents its durability.

2. Use a straw

Try to eat very carefully and drink drinks exclusively through a straw. Otherwise, even the most persistent lipstick will remain on the walls of the glass, and not on your lips.

3. Use exfoliators

Lips need deep cleansing from dead cells no less than the skin of the face. Use a special lip peel or scrub your lips once a week with a mixture of sugar and honey. This will allow the lipstick to lie evenly and be better absorbed into the skin.

4. Use a moisturizing balm

Before applying colored lipstick, use a hygienic balm to moisturize your lips. This will help to evenly distribute the color. However, please note that before applying the lipstick directly, the remaining balm should be blotted with a dry cloth.

5. Don't Forget Your Pencil

Line your lips with a cosmetic pencil. This will make the lipstick last longer. At the same time, keep in mind that if you lightly draw with them not only the contour, but the entire area of ​​​​the lips, then the makeup will last longer. In addition, the eyeliner will remain even when the lipstick wears off.

6. Choose a dark shade

Any dark shade will last longer on the lips than a light one, so give preference to coral, cherry, classic red and this season's trendy marsala. If these tones do not suit you, then choose natural colors: even if they are erased, it is not striking.

7. Use translucent powder

Apply a thin layer of powder between lipstick layers. It will slightly dry the cosmetic product and make it more resistant. And besides, it will not allow lipstick to roll into the cracks of the lips.

8. Don't use gloss on your lips.

Like any other liquid substance, glitter will cause the lipstick to "float", so it's best not to use it. As a last resort, apply this remedy only in the center of the upper and lower lip. This will make the lipstick more juicy and prevent it from losing its rich color quickly.

9. Use a brush

In order for the lipstick to lie perfectly even, in whatever form it is released, it should be applied with a clean and dry brush. So you can beautifully outline the contour and do not let the lipstick go beyond the edge of the lips, as the layer will be thin and even.

Sexologist, candidate of medical sciences, psychotherapist Yuri Prokopenko tells how to find harmony in sexual...

Matte lipstick can look amazingly beautiful and elegant if you know how to wear it. Let's go through a few tips to master the art of applying a magical matte color.

1 First prepare your lips

Matte lipstick tends to emphasize all the imperfections of the lips, so it is very important to prepare them before makeup, and ensure their softness and smoothness. An excellent solution is a lip scrub that will help exfoliate the dry layer of skin and expose soft, baby-like lips, on which makeup will sparkle. Scrub can be made at home: just mix olive oil, honey and sugar. Apply the mixture on the lips and gently massage them for two minutes, then rinse, and your lips will become soft and smooth.

2 Moisturize

To keep matte lipstick on your lips fresh, moisturize them before applying makeup. The matte texture tends to dry out the lips, creating an unwanted crust. You can moisturize your lips using your favorite lip balm or by applying organ, coconut or almond oil, thus preparing your lips for complex and elegant make-up.

3 Let the color be born

If you want to get the true shade of a matte lipstick, apply a corrector as a base before applying lipstick. If you chose red, hot pink or nude lipstick color, the former will help your lips look neater and prettier!

4 Start with a lip pencil

Apply the lip liner all over your lips before applying lipstick. Using a pencil will help achieve a neater, cleaner and more beautiful result. Professional stylists always use this method. Find a lip liner in the color of the lipstick, the same shade, and circle the contours of the lips with it, and then paint over the inside. Thus, you will create a base for matte lipstick, the color will look much richer and more intense. Also, it will help to keep the makeup for a longer time.

5 Not three

Don't rub your lips together when applying matte lipstick because matte textures work differently than glossy ones. Instead, use a special brush to apply the product to the entire surface of the lips. For this purpose, a synthetic brush is suitable. Make sure to paint over every corner for a professional finish.

6 Another layer

If you want makeup to stay on your lips longer, then after the first application of lipstick, blot them with a tissue and apply lipstick again. This method will help intensify the color and you will be surprised how long your makeup lasts. This method will help to avoid overdried lips and lipstick clots.

7 Achieving clarity

To make your lips stand out and look perfect, make sure to wipe all the edges. Use for this the same corrector that you applied as a base for lipstick. You can use a small synthetic brush or a simple cotton swab to go over the contour of the lips and remove all excess and hide imperfections.
