Composition
In most cases, the components of decorative cosmetics for lips are identical, only their proportions and some specific additives differ. So, the composition of Avon lipstick includes:
- Wax. As a rule, three different types go into production:
- traditional bee;
- Brazilian palm tree leaf wax that protects lipstick from melting and spreading on the lips;
- candelilla wax, extracted from Mexican desert shrubs. The components are necessary to ensure that the lipstick rests evenly, plus providing a water balance to the skin of the lips.
- Natural oils. These include castor, cocoa butter, jojoba, almond and others. Depending on the properties of oils, the purpose of the lipstick differs: nourishing, moisturizing, balm.
- Pimenta and dyes. The most common of these are carmine red, bromic acid and eosin. Carmine red is obtained from insects inhabiting cacti in southern latitudes. They are boiled in ammonia with the addition of alum. So the process of making lipstick is not so harmless. Pigments are also obtained from petroleum and plant extracts.
- Flavors. Perfume composition is needed to suppress odors of other ingredients and to make the product attractive.
- Alcohol. The component is necessary as a solvent for wax and oil substances in cosmetics.
In addition to the listed necessary set of components, lipstick Avon includes chamomile extract, famous for its soothing properties, avocado extract that provides moisturizing, coconut oil, useful for dry lips, as well as sunflower and castor oils.
The company is carefully developing the formulation of its cosmetics. In order to ensure the safety of product use, it tries to minimize the amount of preservatives. However, it is impossible to completely abandon them, since in cosmetics without parabens, the shelf life is reduced immediately by two or even three times.
Shelf life
Speaking about the expiration date it should be noted that usually on tubes of lipstick for lips Avon indicates the date of manufacture. Cosmetics do not lose their properties within three years from the moment of its release, provided that it is sealed. If the goods are opened, it is subject to use within twelve months.
After this period, it is recommended to send lipstick to the trash can without doubt, otherwise there is a risk of allergic reactions.
Series
Among the varieties of decorative cosmetics for the lips are many options, designed both for a modest wallet and for buyers with decent income.Youth collections have a more democratic design, which does not affect the quality. Below are the detailed specifications of each series.
"Luxe"
Today it is one of the most pretentious lipsticks in the arsenal of cosmetics Avon. Manufacturers guarantee incomparable comfort, a sense of luxury thanks to an innovative formula with silk proteins and jojoba oil. The ruler includes fifteen shades enclosed in golden tubes that are distinguished by an exquisite design. Each retractable lipstick core is branded "Luxe". The case is equipped with a mirror surface, which is good in that it allows you to adjust the makeup in the absence of a mirror.
Shades "Gentle Kiss" and "Prestige" from this series won a special love of the fair sex. Beige nude tones emphasize the aristocratic pallor of the skin and make the facial features more expressive. The first sample has a somewhat discreet color, the second belongs, rather, to the peach row.

"Food and color"

The color range is represented by twenty names, which are divided into several groups: pink, peach, red, coffee and plum tones. Moreover, according to customer reviews, the quality of the product directly depends on the tint group.
Red tones lie smoothly, tightly in one layer, do not spread, moisturize lips. Peach shades, on the contrary - capricious, are prone to spreading and emphasize minor defects. Coffee and plum samples are translucent, delicate creamy consistency.
"Shine of color"
The name of the lipstick speaks for itself. Shine is provided by a myriad of sparkles. The texture of the cosmetic product is very different from similar samples from other companies. As a rule, lipstick with glitter does not adhere well to lips, it is “eaten up” in two accounts, leaving only oily glitter and shiny particles stuck into the skin of lips, but not in this case. Pomade "Shine of color" from Avon possesses a soft fat consistence, has no smell.

If you need makeup, which favorably distinguishes you from the crowd, then “Maximum colors” cope with the task of one hundred percent.It has a high content of pigment, while not dry lips, moisturizing them and making it soft due to the content of mineral oils. Dense coating and bright color are achieved in one application.
Lipstick without sparkles, creamy texture, but not greasy.
"Accuracy and color"
Lipstick is good, first of all, its convenience. Made in the form of an unscrewing pencil, it is equipped with a reliable cap that fits snugly, not allowing it to fly off in a bag or cosmetic bag during transport. Pencil does not need a sharpener.
The palette is represented by 8 saturated colors, more suitable for an evening out.
Lipstick does not spread, flawless appearance is guaranteed for two to three hours.
"Lady"
Lipstick in a narrow miniature tube, undoubtedly, will appeal to many fashionistas at the expense of the affordable price and impeccable quality of the product. It is slightly dry, without sparkles and nacre, but it fits perfectly, does not spread and lasts for a long time on the lips.
Tint "Style icon" from this line has earned particular popularity among women, because it has the ability to adapt to the color of the lips of its owner. From the red color, close to the brick color, it is transformed into an individual tone, varying from dark pink to lilac.
"Mark" with volume effect
Decorative cosmetics of this series replaced the collection. "3D volume".
Special attention should be paid to the design of the tube - bright, youth. The color scheme of the lipstick itself includes ten matte shades with enhanced pigmentation. Even after the removal of the cosmetic on the lips, the coloring pigment continues to remain for some time, which indicates good durability.
"Matte ideal"
Another representative of decorative cosmetics Avon in a black case. Lipstick fully meets expectations, it evenly lays down, has a pleasant caramel smell, does not flow, but dries lips a little. Therefore, if the skin has a tendency to flaking, then it is better to choose another option.

Manufacturers claim that lipstick is activated when applied, and looks different on different lips. All this thanks to smart technology. "TRUE Color". However, the resistance is somewhat exaggerated: 1.5 hours of flawless makeup is the maximum time.
Separately, I want to mention the shade "Chic". Noble wine color is perfect for blondes and brunettes.
A subdued satin sheen will be appropriate to look at work in the daytime, and at the time of the evening output.
"Absolute Kiss"
Budget option for every day. Caring for lips due to the presence in the composition of coconut oil and avocado. The structure of the lipstick is soft, well applied, gives a glossy effect, but can be clogged in the folds of the lips. Persistence is medium.
Palette
Cosmetic company Avon can rightly be proud of the richness of the shades of their lipstick collections. The complexity of the choice is only one thing - I want everything at once.

Before buying a lipstick, it makes sense to buy a probe and perform a test, since many tones are fully revealed only on the lips, and in a tube they look completely different.
How to pick up
Of course, in the catalog all color cosmetics looks perfect, so it is difficult to assess the merits of a particular product. However, with regard to lipstick, you should adhere to the following simple rules:
- Matte lipstick often dries the lips, so if there is a tendency to peeling, problems will worsen, especially during the cold season;
- Glitter lipstick is less stable than without a shine effect;
- Lipstick, giving the volume, as a rule, more like lip gloss, so the color may not be as saturated;
- In winter, it is better to use caring and nourishing means of decorative cosmetics, rather than moisturizing;
- Shades of beige color look particularly advantageous during the daytime hours, bright tones are preferable in the second half of the day.
Application Tips
To lipstick longer lasted on the lips, it is recommended to apply it over the base. Even better, before applying the primer, massage the lips with a soft scrub in order to cleanse the epidermis cells that have become obsolete and apply a honey mask for 15 minutes.
For an ideal contour, it makes sense to first use a colorless contour pencil against the spreading of lipstick, and then color waterproof.
Makeup artists recommend applying lipstick with a special brush, so it will lie evenly and without surplus.
