Translated from English, this word means "tinting, shading." This cosmetic product is fully consistent with its name. What is a tint, the first to know Korean women. After all, this is an invention of their cosmetic companies. Everyone knows the Koreans' love of naturalness, few can compare with them in this. And for a long time this wonderful tool was available only to Asian fashionistas. But now the lip tint (photo is presented in the article) is popular all over the world, and very many cosmetic brands have such products in their arsenal.
What is a lip tint?
It is probably difficult to find a woman who does not use lipstick or lip gloss, and therefore knows firsthand about some of the shortcomings of these funds. And the most important of them is instability, especially for liquid lipsticks. So, all morning you do beautiful makeup, come to work, drink a cup of coffee with your colleagues - and that’s it: lipstick on your lips is gone, but there is a bright trace on the cup ... A trifle, but unpleasant. Does it annoy you too? In this case, you should pay attention to the lip tint. This miracle remedy appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already managed to win the love and recognition of the fair sex. Those women who are not familiar with this product should definitely try it. Tint is a coloring pigment for the lips, which is not washed off during water procedures, eating and, importantly, when kissing. This is a great alternative to such a painful and expensive procedure as tattooing. Tint for lips with each application more and more absorbed into the skin, becoming more and more brighter. You won’t be able to wash it off with plain water (even with soap), for this it will be necessary to purchase a special product, or wait for the epidermis of the lips to desquamate. After applying this product, the effect of kissed lips is created. Despite the fact that the tint for lips looks bright in the bottle, it looks very natural when applied. But it is worth considering that the shade in the tube may not match the color on the lips. Therefore, if the store has the opportunity to test the tool, be sure to use this service. To do this, apply a little makeup on the inside of the lower lip, and then use your fingers to blend over the entire surface.
The composition of the miracle cure
The composition of this product includes a coloring pigment that penetrates deep into the skin, hence such resistance. Tint for lips, which was released a few years ago, pretty much dried their delicate skin. Because I had to constantly use a balm or hygienic lipstick. Now tints not only give the lips a natural, seductive, and most importantly - lasting color, but also look after them. This product is made on a water basis or helium. Therefore, it lies more evenly on the lips. The pigment may be a synthetic substance or a natural one. Also included are nutritious oils such as jojoba oil, almond oil, and shea butter. And also vitamins C and E. Most tints include moisturizing ingredients, sunscreens, and extracts of aloe vera, chamomile, and other medicinal plants. Therefore, using this coloring pigment, you also look after your lips. The tool is very economical, it lasts for a long time even with constant use.
What is a lip tint
They release it in the form of ordinary lipsticks, shines (with a felt brush) and balms. There are also liquid products, the bottle of which resembles a tube of varnish, there is even a brush there - like a regular nail polish. In addition, you can apply the tint either with your fingers or with the proposed devices, for example, spatulas. It should be noted that if you do not want the lip color to be too bright, it is better to distribute this product with your fingers.
Tint application methods
Before applying the pigment, it is necessary to carry out a simple procedure. It is important that your sponges are perfectly smooth. In order to remove dead skin, rub them thoroughly with a toothbrush or a washing sponge. You can also use a soft flannel napkin. Then apply the usual balm and wait a little so that the product is well absorbed. After carefully, layer by layer (depending on what saturation you want to get a shade) apply a tint. As mentioned above, if you want to get a brighter color, then use a brush or spatula, otherwise use your fingers. Before applying the coloring pigment, you can circle the lips with a pencil in tone, but if you want the makeup to look natural, it is better to do without it. After applying the dye, wait for it to absorb and dry thoroughly. Tint gives a matte effect, because lovers of glossy lips need to apply colorless gloss on top. All - a la "kissed lips" are ready! Also, before applying the cosmetic product, you can powder your lips a little, and then apply your favorite lipstick. But this is an amateur. In Asian countries, it is fashionable to tint only the lower lip - this creates the effect of bitten lips.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any cosmetic product, lip tint has its advantages and disadvantages. The pluses include the following:

Where can I buy?
If you are interested in these products, then, of course, the question will arise: “Where to find this miracle cure?”. So, lip tint can be bought in large cosmetic stores. Unfortunately, in Russia this remedy has not yet received wide distribution, so you have to run around. However, we can give one tip. You can choose lip tints in Letual - the network of these stores is pretty well known in our country. You can also place an order through specialized internet sites. It is in the vastness of the Web that you can find a huge number of different shades of this tool. If not so long ago the color assortment was rather poor, then today there are no problems with this, you can find the tints of the most daring colors. The only minus of the online order is that you cannot try the pigment first. Therefore, when choosing a tint for the first time, it is better to prefer more conservative, calm shades.
Cost
Tint for lips can be bought both at a democratic price, and quite expensive. The price varies from two hundred rubles to three thousand. It all depends on the company, country of origin, as well as on the composition of the product. Tints based on natural pigments, oils and vitamins, of course, are much more expensive. And, as a rule, such a product does not have an unpleasant chemical smell. The cheaper the components of this product, the lower the price. Of course, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to purchase products from well-known, trusted brands.
Customer reviews
Women who have tried using tint instead of lipstick and gloss generally leave rave reviews. And not surprising, because it is very convenient: you do not need to constantly adjust makeup during the day. The effect of naturalness is created. The only thing is that it’s not possible to make up your lips perfectly with tint immediately. In forums, this remedy is often discussed, and many women show distrust in the composition. Is this product dangerous to health? It is worth noting that the chemical component is not more harmful than any other lipstick or lip gloss. And if you purchase a product from a well-known company, then the danger of harmful chemical compounds is generally minimized. Young women who decided to buy a coloring pigment for the lips, but who were confused when choosing a color, can be advised as follows: swarthy girls can safely choose bright saturated shades (cherry, fuchsia, maroon, purple), but blonde representatives should choose beige, pink or orange tones.
