The lip primer has a few more names: base or base. Not everyone knows about this cosmetic product, its functionality and properties. Our article will help to understand this issue.
About product
The base for makeup is an auxiliary product that improves the resistance of makeup and protects the skin from the harmful effects of the ingredients of decorative cosmetics.
The skin of the lips is quite thin and sensitive, requiring regular care.
Depending on the composition, the lip primer can nourish, moisturize, soften the skin, protect it from the sun and prolong youth.
The base creates the perfect lip contour for subsequent makeup application. The tool fills wrinkles and smooths out bumps. The primer does not allow shine or lipstick to flow, leaving the boundaries indicated by it. Lip pencil has similar properties. But not everyone loves and knows how to use it.
Lipstick lies more evenly on prepared skin, lasts longer and does not wear out.
Some primers make the lips visually fuller. In addition, there are products with a scrub effect.
Release form
Lip primer is available in bottles with a brush (like lip gloss), in the form of a stick (like regular lipstick) or a pencil. The most common form is a solid stick. The concealer is very similar to hygienic lipstick, it lies evenly on the lips and practically does not change their natural color. Some products make lips brighter and more matte. The liquid base is usually completely transparent and remains the same on the lips, solid products often change the color of the natural pigment. The primer has a lower fat content than hygienic lipsticks and lip balms. There is no wax in the base, so after application there is no need to remove the excess with a napkin, you can immediately paint your lips with colored gloss or lipstick.
The primer is indispensable for lovers of matte lipsticks. It protects the skin from drying out and ensures even application.
Primer NYX
Despite the fact that the American company appeared only in 1999, it quickly became popular and many women prefer NYX - cosmetics combining high quality and affordable cost. Funds can be used at home and in professional studios. NYX Cosmetics Lip Primer is a leader among similar products. It perfectly aligns the surface of the lips, making them perfect, gives volume. A pencil and lipstick rest well on it. A distinctive feature is the maximum disclosure of the color saturation of the applied lipstick or gloss. Lips look brighter and juicier.
The base will retain a decorative tool on the lips for a long time without the need for frequent correction.
Primer need
A similar product is produced by many manufacturers. The most popular lip primers, reviews of which are most common, are Yves Roucher, MAC, Maybeline. MAC contains Vitamin E that nourishes the skin well. Yves Roucher liquid primer can be used as a base and fixative, covering it with lips before applying lipstick and on top of it. Many note that the base for the lips is not a mandatory tool that you must have in a cosmetic bag. You can do without it if your daily make-up uses transparent or soft lip gloss. The primer will be appreciated by lovers of dark, matte, nude, red lipsticks. And also need girls who have not found a common language with lip pencils.
Most girls using makeup know what makeup base is and what functions it performs. But many have not even heard of a lip primer. The tool is interesting and useful, but you can do without it, especially when using a persistent lipstick for the lips and the absence of an unpleasant sensation of skin tightening.
