Experts say that matte lipstick, despite all its obvious advantages, is not suitable for every girl. Usually, makeup using the aforementioned cosmetic products must be discarded by those whose face is elongated and thin, and their mouth is small, with narrow lips. This type of appearance requires a visual increase in volume, and lipstick without gloss, especially dark, absorbing light, "works" just in the opposite direction.
For owners of puffy lips, matte lipstick is a universal remedy, because it allows you to emphasize the beauty of the shape and natural volume. It is also useful for bright evening makeup or for correction of the contour, especially if by nature it is not perfect.
Modern matte lipstick, as a rule, affects the delicate skin of the lips more sparingly than its early predecessors, which mainly consisted of wax with animal fats and various dyes. Today, nutrients and moisturizing oils are added to this cosmetic product. However, if you are not sure about the presence of these components, you can protect the sponges from drying out with balms.
In order for the matte lipstick to fit perfectly, the lips must first be "prepared". For example, the weathered skin of this part of the face will cause matte-type cosmetics to look like stucco. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a little Vaseline on the lips and massage them with a toothbrush, exfoliating keratinized particles. In the process of makeup, the contour must be created using a pencil matching the color of lipstick. This will allow the product not to blur for a long time. In addition, some women (for added protection against overdrying) lightly powder their lips before tinting. At the final stage of the sponge, gently pat it with a paper towel, and then spread another layer of powder with the puff.
Long-lasting matte lipstick (as an example, Amway, Faberlic, Givenchy Rouge Interdit or MAC products) contain much less oils than dark wax and pigments. It’s quite difficult to find a makeup product of such a plan of light tones, primarily because it looks unnatural. Those who want to use matte lipsticks on an ongoing basis need to remember one rule that secular lionesses know: such cosmetics lose their properties in contact with fatty foods. therefore
after dinner, including dishes of fatty meat or with a lot of oil, you should look in the mirror and make sure that the makeup is perfect.
What properties should a matte lipstick have? Reviews of fans of this series report that it should hold well, not slide into lumps, not spread, not dry the skin. Also pay attention to uniform distribution, which avoids the light strip on the inner surface of the jaws. In a number of samples, the girls note a pleasant aroma, a convenient case with a reliable “lock”. The latter does not allow the tool to open and stain the cosmetic bag, which is an undoubted advantage, since lipsticks of this kind are very poorly washed.
