What is the most unusual lipstick? Violet! Previously, it would never have occurred to anyone to paint her lips with that color. At best, this would be perceived as eccentricity, and at worst, as a sign of mental health problems. But time passes, and everything changes, nothing stands still in our changing world. So, matte violet lipstick is gaining popularity today.
This means that not a single fashionista who follows the trends will be able to get past this article. Below we will consider all the advantages of purple lipstick, the rules for applying it and the features of makeup with this color.
Purple lipstick - flawless tone
One of the features of dark lipstick in general and purple in particular is that these shades emphasize all the flaws. Therefore, many stylists avoid using it both in makeup and at shows. There are a lot of shades of purple , but at the peak now there are dark matte lipsticks that make a graphic clear outline and have a completely matte finish on the lips. Light shades, such as lavender, are not recommended for pale girls. Plum tones, by contrast, are not suitable for swarthy young ladies.
Because purple emphasizes flaws, a flawless tone is the main condition for fashionable makeup. Shining and healthy skin not only looks good on its own, but will also be beneficial to contrast with dark lipstick. In order to prepare the face for applying the tone, it must first be moisturized and allowed to absorb the cream. After that, the concealer is applied and correction is performed. After the skin is ready, purple lipstick or just a shine can be applied. Remember that correctly selected color is not everything. The texture and quality of the product play an important role in creating a harmonious image.
Subtleties and nuances
The peculiarity of any bright lipstick is that bright eye makeup does not look with it. In other words, the emphasis is transferred to the lips, so you can divert attention from the upper part of the face and balance it. Nude eyes and a delicate shade of blush - this is what you need in order for the purple lipstick to look harmonious. Please note that purple is a moody color.
Inspired by the catwalk models
Despite the fact that purple, like red, suits everyone, the main thing is to choose your own shade. So, depending on the color type, lipstick with a warm or cold tint should be taken. Dark summer and winter colors are matte dark options, and autumn and spring - plum shade with a warm undertone.
Models at fashion shows this spring showed an almost complete lack of eye makeup and dark matte lips with purple and purple tones. The balance in the makeup was maintained thanks to brown arrows and competent sculpting of the face.
How to apply lipstick
Lipstick purple, especially matte, requires careful, almost jewelry application. This will require a certain skill, a little training and knowledge of the correct order of basic steps.
- First of all, 5-10 minutes before applying the lipstick, we cover our lips with a moisturizing balm. Matte lipsticks, in contrast to gloss, dry lips, which means that additional hydration is a necessary step.
- After the lips are dusted with transparent powder. Despite the fact that there are practically no sebaceous glands, on the powdery surface the color of the lipstick looks brighter and more natural. In addition, a layer of powder acts as a base for coverage.
- Using body pencil, lip correction is performed. In particular, asymmetry is corrected and the desired volume is added.
- Then a pencil is applied in tone with lipstick. With its help, a substrate for color is made. Due to this, even when the color is erased, the substrate will remain, and the makeup will look fresh longer.
- Lipstick is now applied. To create a graphic outline, it is better to use a brush rather than applying directly from the stick.
- The last step is to make the contour with a body corrector and shade it in order to hide the boundaries between skin tone and skin. This last step will immediately make the lips fuller and their outline sharper. In addition, using the corrector, you can slightly correct the flaws and inaccuracies in applying the contour and lipstick.
Makeup Features
As mentioned above, makeup with purple lipstick has certain features. In particular, this is the arrangement of emphasis. Since all attention is riveted to the lips, eye makeup should be minimal. In order to balance this, more attention is paid to eyebrows. Graphic eyebrows are not in fashion this season. Nevertheless, the neat shape and the subtone suitable for the color type can make the look and face more expressive, due to which makeup with purple lipstick will look better. The main thing is not to make the eyebrows very dark.
The second feature of makeup, which provides lipstick purple, is contouring. Once the tone of the face is evened out, you can begin to contour using dry or bold textures. Please note that for photo shoots in which violet lipstick is involved, only bold textures with a dense coating are used.
