If you like to use lipstick or lip gloss when applying decorative makeup, the article will certainly be of interest to you. Our usual products have the following disadvantages: they are felt on the lips, leave ugly marks on the glass, can stain clothes, and after a snack, makeup must be corrected. This sins ordinary and liquid lipsticks, lip glosses and even caring colorless lipsticks. Asian women have long been using a tint instead of lipstick. This cosmetic product may look like a lipstick film, have a jelly-like consistency or the form factor of our usual lipstick. Tint does not have the disadvantages that lipstick has, in addition, it is able to care for lips. So, what is this tool and how to apply it correctly?
What is a tint?
“Tint” is translated as “shade”, and this is the essence of this cosmetic product. Lipstick film can give your lips any shade, from natural colors to bright and saturated. Its composition includes coloring pigments that are able to quickly absorb into the upper layer of the skin of the lips. Holds on the lips of the tint for at least ten hours. This cosmetic product has an absolutely weightless structure, you literally will not feel it on your lips. In addition, he does not leave ugly prints on dishes and clothes. In fact, using a tint, you can not worry about the state of makeup and do not correct it during the day. Lipstick film is very economical. It should be applied only once a day with a thin layer, and therefore a small package will last for a period of four to six months.
Another advantage of tint over lipsticks is that it is able to take care of lips much more qualitatively and deeply. Manufacturers add a lot of useful and nutrients, oils and extracts to the tint (in the form of a film, cream-jelly or lipstick). The only type of this cosmetic product, which is deprived of useful substances in its composition, is a tint in the form of a liquid.
Types of Tint
Today, manufacturers offer to buy tint in several forms. The first option is a liquid lipstick. Originally from America, this product quickly became popular all over the world. It looks like lipstick in a tube that is applied with a brush. The manufacturer has created many shades that have a matte finish.
Lipstick, which is removed as a film
The product is sold in jars and applied to the lips like a mask. Leave the film for up to ten minutes, and then remove from the lips. During this time, the coloring pigment from the film penetrates the lips and makes the color seductive, saturated. Lip film is a novelty in the market, but it has already become very popular due to its ease of use. If you do not want your lips to become bright, leave lipstick film for 3-4 minutes. The longer the exposure time, the brighter the color as a result.
By the way, the same product as lipstick film was invented for eyebrows. The meaning is the same: the product is applied to the eyebrows, after 10-15 minutes it is removed with a sharp movement of the hand. Not only hairs are painted, but also the skin under the eyebrow. Therefore, it must be applied very carefully.
Tint in lipstick and liquid form factor
Another type of tint is lipstick. This is the most familiar and convenient for girls tool in terms of how to apply color on the lips. You can quickly distribute it over the entire surface; dexterity and experience are not needed for this. Such lipstick, as a rule, has a light pleasant fruity aroma. Tint is represented by neutral natural shades.
The fourth type of tint appeared on the market first. This is a liquid. It was invented by Korean cosmetics manufacturers. This type of tint is inconvenient to apply, it is absorbed very quickly. If you distribute it slowly on the lips, you can get uneven shade and an ugly color transition on the surface of the lips. In addition, such a tint may have an unpleasant cosmetic smell, which, however, immediately after application will cease to be felt.
The disadvantages of using tint
Like any product, tint, with all its advantages, has disadvantages. The first is that the product - a lipstick film or a tint in the form of a liquid - can dry the lips quite noticeably. This is due to the fact that the pigment penetrates the upper layer of the skin of the lips and as if pushes liquid onto the surface. To prevent this, use a moisturizing hygienic lipstick when applying the tint, and you will not feel any discomfort.
The second disadvantage of this cosmetic product is that it cannot be washed off with water. In order to remove makeup from the surface of the lips, you will need milk or toner for make-up remover, micellar water. Excessive resistance “sins” lipstick, which is removed as a film - the pigment of such a tint is absorbed simply “tightly”.
Is super durability bad or good?
However, many women will consider this disadvantage, rather, an advantage. In this case, the tint can be used even when going to the beach or to the sauna. Under the influence of high temperature or moisture, the color of the lips will in any case remain saturated and bright.
Due to the popularity of this product, they often began to fake it and give out ordinary lipstick for a persistent tint. Of course, you will not harm your lips by using a fake. But you will have a false opinion about the real product.
The most popular cosmetics on the market
The most purchased one today is Wow Lip Tint . The product will cost you from 300 to 500 rubles, depending on the place of purchase. It is known for its pleasant aroma and ease of application. Moreover, it can hold for at least 10 hours. Fashionistas recommend ordering a tint for W ow lips in a Chinese online store: then the product will cost you quite inexpensively. But it will take at least a month to wait for delivery - this is the minus of ordering cosmetics from China.
Another very popular tint from the Korean cosmetics manufacturer Secret key is Chubby. At "Aliexpress" its cost does not exceed 300 rubles, but it will take a long time to wait for the parcel, it will be much faster to buy it in a domestic cosmetics store. With us, this product costs twice as much.
Look for products called Romantic Bear. This type of tint is best shaded with your finger. Apply first to the middle of the upper and lower lips. After half a minute, begin to blend the tint from the center of the lips to the corners. Romantic Bear allows you to create a fashionable today effect of kissed lips, while moisturizing and caring for the skin. The smell of this product is pleasant, floral and fruity. There are many options for shades in the palette: from neutral transparent to bright and saturated.
Tint is becoming increasingly popular not only among young people, but also among representatives of the adult generation. Therefore, manufacturers, following the trend, produce lip cosmetics with persistent pigment in their product line.
What is the difference between a tint and persistent lipsticks
Perhaps, according to the description, the tint seems to some like super-resistant lipsticks. The latter can really "rush" up to 10-12 hours and look perfect, no matter what you do. But these are fundamentally different cosmetics. Tint gives the lips a rich color due to the pigment that penetrates the skin. It is difficult to wash it off even with a special make-up remover. In addition, tint (lip film, in the form of a liquid or jelly-like) is able to nourish and moisturize the lips. This “ability” is absent only in liquid products, but this type of cosmetics is increasingly losing ground to jelly-like and tint-films.
Persistent lipsticks "work" on a different principle. They form a strong film on the lips. It is due to this that the color lasts, but washing off such a make-up will not be a problem. In addition, super-resistant lipsticks are notorious, as they can dry out their lips. Such a cosmetic product does not care for lips. On the contrary, after using a persistent lipstick, you need to give your lips a break for one day and use the "hygiene". As you can see, the difference is fundamental. Tint can even be useful not only for appearance, but also for the skin of the lips, unlike ordinary lipstick.
