Lipstick is an indispensable attribute of any lady. How could it be without her, because it is her tone that makes the lips either bright sensual, or emphatically strict, or tender romantic. And meanwhile, lipstick also looks after. How long it stays on the lips and how comfortable it is to feel depends on its composition.

The composition of the lipstick

Usually lipstick contains either beeswax or palm wax, which is responsible for durability, as well as preventing dryness and creating a protective layer. Ease of application is also a merit of wax. In addition, wax and water repellents are responsible for the durability (but are vulnerable to fats, so avoid greasy foods when using long-lasting lipstick). And the oils that make up the lipstick (jojoba, coconut, olive and others) make the skin soft, moisturize and nourish. Vitamins A, E, C and nourish and protect. Therefore, when you once again make your choice, give preference to high-quality lipsticks.

Color

Matte lipstick is perfect for plump sensual lips. It will not unnecessarily increase them, but it will create a natural effect with a certain color tint. the powder included in its composition gives the lipstick a matte finish .

Mother-of-pearl lipstick visually enlarges, so it is perfect for owners of small or thin lips.

Shades should be selected depending on the color of the skin. For light, cold tones are more suitable, for swarthy and tanned skin - all shades of peach and scarlet. Also consider hair color. It is better for blondes not to overdo it with colors: lipstick looks brighter on a light background. And brunettes, on the contrary, saturated tones are well suited.

For those who prefer more natural options, you should focus on the natural color of the lips, and choose a lipstick tone darker or lighter.

In addition, take into account some imperfections of the skin of the face, if there are extended veins or redness, you do not need to choose a lipstick of the same shade, so as not to emphasize unwanted manifestations on the skin. The color of the teeth also matters: the yellowness of the enamel will become more noticeable when using lipstick in warm shades.

Care

Don't forget to take care of your lips. Lubricate them at least overnight with petroleum jelly or mineral oil (which last longer than natural oils) or use balms and hygienic lipstick for this purpose. Sometimes you can do a light peeling, and then generously lubricate the lips with cream. And gymnastics (collecting lips in the form of a flower bud with pressure) is also needed to maintain tone.
