The dream of having perfect lips for some remains unfulfilled if not given due attention to it. In particular, experts in the field of cosmetology strongly recommend that you first determine the type of lips and take your choice of cosmetics seriously. Read more about how to get started below.
How important is choosing the right color?
It is generally accepted that perfect lips are those on which any lipstick looks great. And of course, they will not be perfect if you choose the wrong color for you. Experts strongly recommend paying attention to skin color. It must be combined with the chosen color of lipstick. So, women and girls who have a light skin tone from birth should give preference to darker and colder tones. For example, for them, the ideal color would be light pink with a smooth transition to dark plum.
Owners of swarthy and tanned skin should choose a light peach or even brownish shade. For ladies with a light tan, a golden or bright red lipstick tone will suit.
Choosing lipstick according to hair color
Some people think that perfect lips can only be achieved with the right combination of hair color and lipstick. For example, berry, soft peach, pinkish and even coral lipstick just perfectly emphasizes the correct facial features of fair-haired girls and women.
Terracotta and brown tones are best used by owners of bright hair. Tones of bright carrots or purplish reds will look divine on girls with dark curls blowing in the wind.
How to choose lipstick according to eye color?
According to some makeup artists, perfect lips are impossible without the right combination of lipstick and eye color. In particular, ladies with brown eyes are best to buy scarlet or brown lipsticks.
Beige (can be used in the morning) and cherry (in the afternoon) tones of lipstick are suitable for blue-eyed beauties. Owners of a rare green eye color are better off using orange or terracotta tones of cosmetics. The depth of gray eyes is best emphasized by light beige or dark cherry lipstick.
The effect of age on lipstick color
Many makeup artists claim that the ideal shape of the lips will not work for those ladies who do not take into account their age when choosing a lipstick color. After all, you must admit that bright red lipstick on the lips of a young 15-year-old person will look very vulgar and defiant than on the lips of a 30-year-old woman in juice. For the same reason, girls and girls should emphasizeyour lips with a light, almost transparent gloss, less often with a slight mother-of-pearl or pinkish tint.
Matte and denser tones, on the contrary, give the image of solidity, so they are best worn by women over 25 years old. After thirty, it is best to use bright colors with a pronounced satin or light satin structure. Such colors, as a rule, emphasize the elasticity and fair skin tone. They give her a special youthfulness and give her a hint of being ready for a little flirting.
Perfect lips for women after forty years old - this is a choice in favor of plum or cherry tones of lipstick. Bright red in this case will emphasize mimic wrinkles around the lips. And pink and peach tones will give the skin a pale and unhe althy look. Therefore, the dark color scheme will be the golden mean, which will allow mature ladies to create just the perfect make-up.
Lip pencil: do you need it or not?
What perfect lips are possible without clear contours and bright outlines? And to achieve all this is really only when using a well-chosen lip pencil. It is he who will allow the unnecessary to darken, and the attractive - to highlight. But when choosing it, it is better to give preference to waterproof types of cosmetics. Such pencils usually do not roll and do not spread on the lips. They simply elegantly set the tone for all lip makeup.
Moreover, with its help you can visually increase or decrease the shape of the lips, give them volume or, conversely, narrow. Often it is the pencil that plays the rolekind of base for make-up. It also allows you to extend the durability and modify the color of the selected lipstick. You bought the wrong color for your age, it does not matter. A pencil will fix everything.
How to transform lips with a pencil and other means?
Do you want perfect lips (photos of examples can be found in this article)? Feel free to use the right pencil. For example, with its help you can create a real amber in rich and at the same time muted tones. To complete it, you must do the following:
- Pre-outline the outline with a red pencil.
- Apply bright red or dark red lipstick around the edges of the lips.
- In the center make a few strokes of pink lipstick.
- Bring to a uniform color with light strokes (you can safely use a brush for this).
By analogy, you can make a color accent, alternating the upper and lower lip and vice versa. Too bright lipstick can be made slightly matte and at the same time give it the look of light velvet. To do this, already painted lips should first be blotted with a napkin, and then lightly powdered. Glossy lipstick can always be brought to the desired color and even texture with regular eye shadow.
Some helpful tips for perfect lips
Before you make perfect lips, pay attention to the choice of lipstick brush. It is best to use not a round, but a flat shape. It perfectly distributes lipstick or shadow over the entire surface of the lips.
To make the make-up look slightlycasually, but at the same time not looking vulgar, apply a few strips on the lips and spread over the entire surface with your fingers. So that the lipstick does not spread and can stay on the lips much longer, before applying it, soak the stick in micellar water and walk it over the surface. Then create some sheer lip lines with concealer.
If you want your lipstick to last longer, use multiple coats when you apply it. At the same time, alternate each of them with powder. In this way, you will give your lips a pleasant and bright color, as well as skillfully highlight it by correctly placing a cosmetic accent.
Red lipstick, how happy I am for you
According to experts, red lipstick is considered a universal color suitable for women with different eye and hair colors. However, it should be understood that it has its own shades, which also need to be selected correctly. And if you think that this color just won't suit you, you just haven't used it before or used the wrong color.
For example, for blue-eyed girls with fair skin, it is better to use cranberry, lingonberry and even raspberry red colors. Sometimes they can also use carrot red, which will favorably emphasize the advantages and hide visible flaws.
Brown-haired women with natural and slightly swarthy skin color can safely use bright red, coral and tomato tones. Brunettes with brown eyes can buy burgundy, wine or cherry lipsticks. How redPinkish red, pearly and amaranth shades couldn't be better.
Which lips are considered ideal?
There are no clear standards for perfect lips. Some people like sensual plump ones, while others are delighted with small and narrow ones. However, in any case, only carefully traced lip contours can be ideal, perfectly combined with the shape and color scheme of lipstick. In no case should the contours of the pencil stand out strongly and protrude far beyond the limits. Lips with a bow, reminiscent of clown makeup, will not look natural.
Nobody likes a make-up with runny lips, careless coloring or smeared texture. For example, to give special expressiveness and naturalness, you should first treat them with powder, and after applying lipstick, walk over them with a napkin (use light and blotting movements).
Make perfect lips step by step: instructions
In the first step, take a pencil and start drawing a clear outline, following from the corners of the upper lip (from left to right). After that, apply a little powder on them and then extend the contour of the lower lips. In the next step, paint over the inside of the mouth. Do this with lipstick and a thin flat brush.
Next, powder the skin under and above the lips, which will give some contrast between them and the rest of the face. Finally, once again go over the main color of the lipstick all over the lips, and then powder them, eliminating excess cosmetics. The perfect make-up is ready.
