Kissed lips effect. Before and after photos, how to create, procedures, permanent makeup, makeup, lipstick

The effect is slightly puffy and seductive "Snogged lips" became a trend for the 2015 summer season. Suddenly it was revived, gaining even more popularity at the autumn-winter show of London Fashion Week Thornton Bregazzi (2017).

A photo of the models from the Vivienne Westwood show shows that the lipstick on their faces was carelessly shaded behind the lip contour. Val Garland, a stylish make-up artist, explained to the slightly shocked audience, "Girls love to kiss." Since then, "kissing" lips has not left the peak of popularity.

Features of creating a blurred lip contour with the effect of "kissing"

The effect of "kissed" lips is created due to the fact that the lips in the center are painted quite brightly, closer to the periphery they pale, while their contour is shaded, losing clarity. Photos of models attract attention, make you want to try on the image on yourself.

There are several ways to achieve this effect:

• Apply lipstick to lips light tone, slightly darker than their natural pigment, slightly going beyond the contour, blot with a paper towel. Then apply lipstick of the same color, but of a darker shade, in the center of the lips with a flat brush. Blend the borders with your finger.
• Shade along the contour of the lips foundation (concealer) of your skin tone, then apply lipstick to the center of the lips and blend it to the edges of the lips. Better to use a matte lipstick, it does not spread and lasts longer. Apply some lip gloss to the center to create volume. And finally, apply a little powder on the brush and draw along the contour of the lips from the edges of the lips to the center.
• Use moisturizing oil for lips - a tint that has a lighter texture than lipstick and sets off the lips without weighing them down. Apply and rub the tint in the center of the lips, then apply a transparent balm or gloss along their contour with the applicator, which will blur the contours and add seductive juiciness to the lips.
• Apply balm, then in the center of the lip cover with lipstick of the same shade, gently shade with your fingers. This option gives the most natural result.

The easiest way to achieve the desired effect is not to apply the lipstick in the usual way, but to drive it in with your fingertips. The outline should be blurry, so it doesn't need to be drawn. For evening makeup, lipstick should be used in brighter, more saturated shades; for daytime, you can use nude, flesh-colored lipstick.

Cosmetics

The effect of "kissed" lips, photos of which visually demonstrate their attractiveness, is best achieved using lipstick, tint and contour pencil.

Tints

Tint is a beauty product developed by Korean makeup artists that contains a large amount of coloring pigment. Produced in the form of a water-soluble gel, it differs from lipstick and gloss by its ability to quickly "imprint" into the skin of the lips, shading and emphasizing its natural pigment.

The lips acquire a natural translucent shade, retains durability for a long time, does not stain the cup, and is practically imperceptible. These properties make the tint the most effective means of creating a kissable impression that looks as natural as possible.

Tint benefits:

• instant effect - tints are quickly absorbed;
• color saturation close to the shade of natural pigment;
• the lasting effect is ensured by an increased concentration of coloring pigments, the color remains on the lips for 8-10 hours. Certain brands of tints leave the pigment for several days. The color intensity gradually decreases, as if erased with an eraser, evenly, unlike lipstick, which is "eaten", spoiling the makeup;
• simplicity and ease of use. The gel is easy to apply, just one layer is enough, no lip contour is required;
• multifunctionality - tint can be used as a blush. A few drops should be applied to the upper cheekbones, rub easily. The result is a natural blush.

There are several types of tints:

• Tint film (ROMANTIC BEAR) is a highly pigmented gel that dries to a film when applied to the lips. It should be carefully removed, during which time the pigment has time to transfer to the lips. The color is super resistant, lasts all day, by the end of the day it can only fade. This makeup is called a tint tattoo, and if applied inaccurately, there is a risk of going through the whole day with an uneven lip contour.
• Lipstick tint the applicator is applied from the center to the contour, like a gloss. It is absorbed quite quickly, retains the pigment on the lips all day, gradually fading. These tints have a wide range of colors.
• Tint glitter - liquid, characterized by a small amount of pigment, suitable for daily makeup, looks very natural.
• Balm tint easy to apply, does not dry out the skin of the lips, has caring, nourishing properties.
• Tint oil provides lips with good care, but does not have sufficient durability and brightness.

The disadvantages of tint are:

• Tint dries lips, because there are much less moisturizing and nourishing ingredients in its composition than in creamy lipsticks. Therefore, before applying the tint, it is recommended to lubricate the lips with a balm.
• It will not work to erase the formed pigment from the lips with a makeup remover; you will have to wait until it gradually disappears by itself. Using a special two-phase lotion or water-soluble hydrophilic oil will help.

The pencils

A cosmetic lip liner helps to restore and correct the contour. For shine, you need to select a pencil to match the pigment of the lips, for lipstick - 1 tone darker than lipstick.

• brand, country of origin;
• persistence, an important indicator. The floating pencil looks sloppy;
• harmlessness, content of oils, a complex of vitamins in the lead (information can be seen on the sticker / pencil), moisturizing properties;
• softness should be medium. An overly soft pencil does not hold the line, dry can damage the skin of the lips, it is difficult to apply it in a continuous line;
• protective cap, tight fit, built-in sharpening;
• shelf life;
• price.

In addition, it should be understood what cosmetic effect is expected from the use of a pencil:

• for painting on dry lips, pencils should contain vitamins B and C, emollient oils, lanolin, aloe and rose extracts in the lead formula;
• a pencil with a thin lead can give clarity to the contour of the lips;
• to create a contour with shading and the impression of "kissing" you need a pencil with a thick lead. These pencils are often sold with a special brush.

• Glide (glide in translation from English means "glide"), is a mix that combines the brightness of lipstick, lightness of shine, tint durability, nourishing properties of the balm. This blend of properties ensures that lips are nourished, hydrated and smoothed. When applied, it lays down evenly, at first the shade is glossy, after an hour, without losing brightness, it becomes matte. It looks as if the lips were re-painted with a different lipstick. Glide is easy to apply, one layer is enough, retains brightness and freshness for about 6 hours.
• Stein is a viscous, jelly-like liquid with a strong coloring pigment, which gives the lips a lacquered sheen. Stein has a sweetish taste, has a light fruity aroma, is practically not felt, can remain stable for up to 10 hours, but quickly "eats", leaves marks on the cup, requires renewal by applying a new layer during the day.
• Cushion - Lancôme's revolutionary Pigmented Moisturizing Lip Gloss comes in a tube with an applicator pad. Thanks to the ability to select the intensity of the color, due to several layers in the center of the lips and the blurring of the contour, the effect of "kissing" is easily achieved.

Daily lip care is quite simple, it requires simple procedures:

• massage with a dampened toothbrush, then apply a nourishing balm;
• if there are cracks on the lips, lubricate them with a bactericidal ointment;
• until the cracks heal and the roughness goes away, do not use decorative cosmetics for the lips, it is better to use hygienic lipstick at this time;
• regularly do 10-minute lip masks (with honey, sour cream, cottage cheese, carrot juice);
• the use of scrubs (sugar, coffee grounds) gives a good result;
• in the evening, remove the remnants of makeup, massage with a toothbrush, apply an oil solution of vitamin E.

In an effort to create the effect of "kissed" lips, the rest of the makeup should be made as neutral, pastel as possible, for this:

1. Apply a thin layer of foundation.
2. Even out all age spots, bruises under the eyes, inflammation and acne with a concealer.
3. Powder your face with a light sheer powder.
4. Apply peach or pink blush to upper cheekbones and eyelids.
5. Lightly highlight the eyes with a dark gray thin eyeliner, the eyes should not dominate the face.
6. Tint eyelashes with mascara.
7. Slightly emphasize the shape of the eyebrows with a pencil.

Now you can start preparing the lips:

1. Massage lips with a moistened toothbrush, apply a moisturizing balm on them, let it soak in, blot the rest with a paper napkin.
2. Apply base base to lips to mask wrinkles and maintain makeup. The base should be selected containing emollients, nutrients and moisturizers.It is good if the base contains a sunscreen component.

Techniques and techniques for applying a vague decor

Bright lips with erased contour, or "kissed" lips, create a spectacular, sensual image. The result is especially impressive when the lips are colored with wine pigment.

The most natural daytime make-up with blurry lip décor can be achieved by applying a discreet creamy nude lipstick on the lips with patting pats with fingertips, slightly capturing the contour.

In addition, this technique gives the lips extra volume. The technique of creating a "blurry" lip decor requires observance of some nuances.

Pencil Stroke Secrets

Using a correcting pencil, mark the base of the indentation above the upper lip. Then draw a line along the contour of the lips from this point to the corners of the mouth. The contour of the lower lip is drawn with a solid line from one corner to the other. Then lightly shade the lips with a pencil.

The effect of "kissing" will be obtained if the pencil line is slightly shaded with a cotton swab, directing it inward. In this case, drawing with a pencil is needed not for the clarity of the contour, but to prevent lipstick from spreading, and as a substrate for lipstick, providing smoothness.

The pencil line should be blurred, as the visible effect of the fact that the owner of the lips recently kissed and did not have time to put herself in order.

The nuances of using lipstick

To create the effect of "kissed" lips using lipstick of one shade and gloss, you need to apply lipstick, just short of reaching the contour (about 1 mm). In the center of the lips, make the coating thicker, applying another 1-2 layers here.

Next, you should shade the contour of the lipstick coating to the natural contour of the lips, slightly going beyond it. Gloss can be applied to the center of the lips, this will add volume and enhance the "kissing" effect.

How to use the tint

The sequence of actions when applying the tint:

1. Rub the lips with a scrub so that the tint lies flat and is well absorbed.
2. Apply a moisturizing or nourishing balm to your lips. Allow it to absorb properly, remove the rest with a paper napkin.
3. The tint is applied with a patting, hammering motion with your fingertips, from the center of the lips to the contour.
4. Shade immediately after application with fingertips or the applicator.

Finishing touch with glitter

The effect of "kissed" lips, photos of which demonstrate their seductiveness, is enhanced by the use of lip gloss. Gloss gives the lips a translucent moisture, making them look fuller and more sensual.

In an effort to achieve the effect of "kissed" lips, the gloss in the center of the lips should be applied in 2-3 layers, and along the contour of the lips with fingertips, patting movements "drive" the gloss into the skin, slightly shading the contour. For daytime makeup, you can limit yourself only to gloss, no lipstick.

Lip kiss lip tattoo

The technique of permanent make-up "lip kiss" makes it possible, without wasting time on makeup, to look always fresh to the owner of "kissed" lips, with naturally pink lips, as if a light balm had just been applied to them. The interference is completely invisible.

The tattoo is applied in stages:

1. Drawing and fixing the outline sketch with a white gel liner. Under anesthesia, the contour can become invisible and even change shape, so a sketch is needed.
2. Anesthesia.
3. Fast drawing of the contour in nude color, without stretching the skin.
4. Application of the 1st layer to even out the lip color.
5. Application of the 2nd layer, creating a glow effect, while the skin of the lips is stretched.
6. The last, brightest layer is applied to the center of the lips, not reaching the contour of 2 mm.

Lip kiss tattooing is not recommended for asymmetrical or too thin lips. In addition, do not use too bright a pigment. Permanent lip make-up lasts up to 2 years.

The effect of "kissed" lips gives a slight carelessness to the image, as if the paint on the lips was applied in a hurry, leaving the house.The absence of a clearly defined contour and slight soreness of the lips (as seen in the photo) creates a natural touching innocence and at the same time some viciousness.
