One of the main features of this product is its pigmentation.. Liquid lipstick is quite bright, so do not need layering and frequent tints.

However, in addition to this, they require, if not perfect, then a good condition of the lips, as they are able to highlight all the flaws and flakings.

Also an important feature of liquid matte lipstick is durability. Properly chosen lipstick can last a day on your lips, withstand a light snack - as in the case of a full meal, mucous membranes will have to be tinted. This tool is ideal for dating and other romantic or friendly meetings, as it does not leave sticky or pigment on the lips of your partner when kissing.

It differs in texture and density - yes, in any case, it is liquid, but it separates liquid cream and liquid gel, translucent or dense, with the effect of varnish lips or with a velvet coating.

During the shelf life of any lipstick preservatives meet - and it is very important that they are safe for your lips, do not cause allergies and do not dry. Boric acid and formalin were used before, but recently, fortunately for us, a small amount of benzoic acid salts has been used.

Components that provide resistance, these are polymers, and long shelf life - preservatives, as a rule, salts of benzoic acid. Haze is provided in most cases with tin oxide.

Of course, there is a place to be dyes and pigments - natural and artificial. It is thanks to them that lipstick becomes colored. Dyes a huge amount. They are composed of bromine and fluorescein, and are extracted from coal tar. If we are talking about natural dyes, then they are obtained from carmine cochineal worms - better known as E 120. Piments are obtained from quartz, mica and fish scales, as well as from titanium and iron oxides.

Lipstick often contains various fragrances. From the additional auxiliary ingredients can be distinguished various flavoring components, UV filters that protect from the sun, vitamins.

Since recently this particular type of lipstick has become very popular, many brands began to produce their own rulers. The palette of shades on the market is simply enormous: from rich red to muted beige, soft dusty nude shades. If desired, you can also find purple, black, green and even neon lipsticks - this is due to the fact that it is liquid products used for carnivals and holidays. There are lipsticks with ombre effect.

When it comes to liquid matte lipstick, cost does not play a big role. When choosing them, you need to pay attention to the texture, color, coating and your personal desires, and not to the price tag. However, if you live in a big city, finding a cheaper equivalent of an expensive product is not difficult.

The other part is from the country of origin. Belarusian, Russian, Turkish and Polish lipsticks are much cheaper than European and American ones - only because of import / export, and they are not inferior in quality. As an example, we can give the famous Golden Rose, TF or Relouis.

Matte lipstick, and even liquid, can significantly dry the skin of the lips, clog up in the folds and emphasize peeling, as well as completely deprive the relief. Therefore, it is very important to prepare the lips before applying lipstick. Scrub, balsam or any fatty vegetable oil will help in this.

Lip scrub can be purchased at almost any cosmetic store, but you can do it yourself. For this you need a tablespoon of honey, sugar and coconut oil or shea butter. Honey must be melted in a water bath and poured into a small container - from a lip balm, any cream or wax. Add a tablespoon of sugar, ten drops of butter and leave to cool in the refrigerator.

Before use, remove the scrub from the refrigerator and allow it to warm to room temperature. It is necessary to use it completely in small quantities - take a small pea on the tip of the finger and distribute it in massaging movements over the previously steamed lips. You can steam them with a napkin dipped in hot (but not boiling) water. The balm lasts for two or three minutes, then it is washed off.

Next, you should apply a nourishing lip balm or fatty oil - coconut, shea, avocado, or an oil solution of vitamin E. You can also use a special lip primer that will fill in all the irregularities. This is, for example, the “Ultimate Ozone Multipurpose Primer Pencil” by Urban Decay.

It is necessary to let the oil soak a little, then remove the excess with a damp cloth. If you do not want to do these manipulations in the morning, you can do it in the evening, before going to bed. Scrubbing lips laid one or two times a week - it will not only help liquid matte lipstick to lie down better, but will also make them more visually bulky, smooth out unevenness and relieve peeling. The lip scrub acts on the principle of facial scrub - exfoliates the horny particles.

Now you can apply lipstick. Remember that the liquid formula seizes very quickly. If you make a mistake in the application, you will have less than a minute to erase the tool with a cotton pad or touch up with a cotton swab. However, you can always disguise a small lipstick spot on the skin with foundation, concealer or concealer.

If you are a beginner, you can use a lip liner before applying the pigment - sometimes it comes with lipstick, for example, Kylie. Outline them lip contour. Liquid pigment will subsequently block the pencil stroke, but it will help you not to go to the contour.

However, you can purchase a special brush for applying pigment, if you prefer. You should fill the lips from the center of the lower lip, gradually approaching the corners. Repeat that famous step with a self-praise - tighten your lips with the sound "m." A piece of lipstick is imprinted on the upper lip, and you only need to paint the remaining space. Outline the contour and correct the flaws.

Layering liquid formulas is not recommended - you can tint erased areas, but in no case should not paint the entire surface of the lips again, because such lipstick does not merge with the previous layers. They create the effect of loading and painted lips.

Matte lipsticks, especially liquid, are characterized by increased resistance - and it will not work to wash them off with water. You will need to use micellar water for persistent textures or hydrophilic oil - before washing you can go over your lips with a tissue to remove makeup. After removal, use a balm or oil - to nourish lips after a hard working day.

Understand what is the best lipstick for you, you will help the rating of funds and reviews of regular customers.

• For example, lipstick Relouis "True Matte Complimenti" is in high demand in the market. Her average rating is 4.1, and the reviews are mostly positive. Of the advantages - absolute dullness, durability, convenient applicator, accessibility and a large selection of shades. The disadvantages of the ladies are that she dries her lips - but for the sake of such a thing you can buy a balm, and all problems will disappear. The consistency is very thin, but not sticky and not greasy. Has no taste. However, for accuracy, it is recommended to apply lipstick in two layers: the first is very thin (on the outline of the balsam), the second is already on top, when the previous one dries.
• But Dose of Colors "Matte Lipstick" can be called a real favorite - her rating is 4.8. There is a remarkable resistance, a number of interesting shades (from the usual red and pink to the dusty purple and crimson). The texture is liquid, but more like a mousse, so it does not dry lips. However, use without a substrate in the form of a balm is impossible. Finish matte, but "live". Lips do not stiffen. However, the lipstick is printed on the cups, and the lips stick to each other - therefore, the mucosa needs to be wetted with a napkin.
• Eveline "Velvet Matt Lip Cream" not a favorite of girls. Her rating is 3.8. It is caused by some flaws. This tool is very dry and causes the desire to apply a balm on top, and in this case lipstick loses all its haze.Ugly descends from the lips, in small pieces, and imprinted on objects. Another thing that spoils the mood - unsuccessful packaging. The golden color very quickly begins to peel off, is erased. However, the manufacturer has released lipstick in the amount of five shades, so you still need to look at it. It is also very convenient to apply.

• At one time, the brand Nyx with their own “Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick” literally blew the net. Especially popular were nude shades "Push Up", "Pin Up" and "Just". Now the firm holds the brand - its average rating is 4.2, and the reviews are generous enough for the epithets. First of all, the colors are highlighted: the palette is wide, you can find a shade for every day, and at the exit. Lipstick does not come off a crust, not bald, but there is a feeling of stickiness on the lips. Great durability.
• Liquid matte lipstick "Sleek Matte Me" "Birthday Suit" horoshistka - rating exactly 4. It is often compared with NoUBA “Millebaci” in durability and quality: it does not crack and does not crumble, it withstands tea drinking. However, a full meal will not stand. The shades are bright and beautiful, original, and also lipstick keeps on lips for a long time. In terms of dullness - absolutely matte.
• But Italian NoUBA "Millebaci" It has a rating of 4.3 and pleases customers even with its design. In the line nine shades of different brightness and saturation, but they love the brand not only for that. In the first place - for the texture: it is light as a veil, silky.
