How to paint lips in a volumetric manner so that they seem plump, beautifully with lipstick, pencil, gloss

Lip makeup is just as important as eye makeup. If the lips remain unpainted, then they lose their expressiveness, and if the lip makeup is done ineptly, this spoils the overall look. An important role is played by the choice of color and mastery of the technique of applying a cosmetic product. Only by fulfilling all these conditions, you can make a beautiful makeup.

What color of lipstick to choose

Incorrectly matched lipstick emphasizes imperfections on the face and the yellow tint of tooth enamel.

The tone must be selected not the one that you only like visually, but by the color of the skin:

1. The skin is medium dark - red or gold will look perfect on the lips.
2. The owner of light skin is advised to choose lipstick of cold shades. These include the entire palette of pink colors: from light to dark.
3. A girl with dark, dark, tanned skin should choose a shade filled with pigment. She matches the romantic peach, burgundy, chocolate, plum tone of lipstick.

If you choose lipstick to match your hair color, then:

• brunettes are advised by stylists to use lipstick in bright colors with a golden or copper tint, for example, caramel, golden brown, warm red undertones;
• redheads to face brown-red, carrot shades of cosmetics;
• blondes are suitable for light peach, coral, pink, raspberry shades.

If you want to emphasize eye color, then:

• dark-eyed girls do makeup with chocolate, burgundy, red lipstick;
• you can draw attention to blue and gray eyes by applying nude or cherry lipstick to your lips;

the green color of the iris, will visually brighten the carrot or reddish-brown lipstick.

When choosing a color, considerable attention should be paid to age:

1. A slightly pigmented lipstick with an abundance of pearlescent particles is suitable for young girls.
2. Women who are 30 years old should choose pigmented shades.
3. After 40 years, you can give preference to muted tones, such as burgundy, plum.

Lipstick shade, as well as its texture, affects the perception of lip volume.

Dark and matte lipstick steals volume, so it is not recommended to paint thin lips with such means. In this case, light shades are best suited, for example, peach, light pink with pearlescent particles, beige, pearl.

It is recommended to do makeup with glitter: it will visually increase the volume. The desired lipstick tone can be selected by combining 2-3 shades.

How to use a lip liner

Lip liner - functional tool:

1. This product can even out the contour by adjusting the volume by transferring the lip border.
2. By painting over individual areas with the tool, you can change the visual perception of their outlines and volume.
3. The lipstick does not blur behind the contour applied with a pencil, it wears off more slowly, which increases the makeup durability.

If you replace lipstick with a product, you can make a matte rich makeup.

It will work out beautifully to paint lips with a pencil if he:

• the color matches the lipstick. It is even better when these two tools are matched to tone-on-tone, but you can also use a pencil of a similar shade, as long as it is not much darker or paler. A dark pencil looks cartoonish, and too light creates a "blurry" outline;
• well pigmented. A pale pencil removes the volume of the lips, especially for a pencil that matches the shade of the skin;
• perfectly sharpened. The contour should be smooth and neat; it is almost impossible to achieve this with a blunt pencil;
• medium hardness. Soft pencils allow you to create a rich color contour, but the pigment does not last long on the lips. Too hard in structure, on the contrary, poorly give off pigment;
• waterproof. This pencil will stay in place much longer.

To make it easier to use a medium-hard pencil, you should roll the tip of the rod slightly between your fingers. It heats up from the warmth of your hands and becomes softer.

The product can be discarded when creating a light, barely noticeable makeup, or if the lips are full, voluminous. In other cases, you should outline the contour.

There are several options for using a pencil in makeup in combination with lipstick:

1. Natural. A tone or concealer is applied to the lips. This prolongs the durability of the makeup. They outline the boundaries with a pencil, not forgetting about the corners and making a wider line in these areas, clearly repeating the natural contour and connecting the lower line with the upper one. The tool is slightly shaded from the periphery to the center and the lips are painted with lipstick. You need to cover the contour with lipstick so that it does not stand out.
2. Saturated color. Having painted over the lips with concealer, they highlight the border with a pencil, and from it they shade the inner surface closer to the mucous membrane. Cover the lips with lipstick of the appropriate tone from above. This option is not combined with glitter, since the pencil is then hammered into the cracks.
3. Bulky and moist. With a brown-beige pencil, a thin contour is made, slightly going beyond the natural boundaries. The corners are highlighted with pointed lines. Then the lips are covered with a nude gloss with pearlescent particles.
4. Chubby nude. With a white pencil, line the lips along the border line in the central part. Top with lipstick in a nude shade.
5. Compressed. With a nude pencil, the contour is drawn along the inner border, paying special attention to the corners. Then the lips are covered with matte beige lipstick.
6. With ombre effect. This interesting effect can be used in both evening and daytime makeup. Evening makeup involves the use of contrasting shades, and daytime - close tones. It is recommended to moisturize your lips with a balm before applying. Then a contour pencil is applied in a relatively wide line, which will favorably emphasize the makeup and make it more durable.

The contour should clearly match the lip border.

Then, from the contour with a brush, apply the first shade of lipstick with strokes to the middle of the lips. Then another shade is applied closer to the mucous membrane.

How to paint your lips with dark lipstick

It is recommended for blondes to choose lipstick in dark shades with a purple tint, and for brunettes - in a plum shade. It is important to carefully even out the skin tone, as lipstick in rich dark tones highlights any skin imperfections.

It is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

1. Eye makeup should be done in the same color scheme as the lips, and even smokey ice is suitable if the shadows are not too saturated.
2. The eyeliner can be black (for brunettes) or brown (for blondes).

How to make matte lips

1. You can beautifully make up your lips with a cosmetic product with a matte finish only after preliminary preparation, since any such product dries the skin greatly and emphasizes the crust on the lips. For lip pretreatment, you can use a homemade sugar-honey scrub or a mixture of sugar and olive oil.
2. After scrubbing, the lips are painted over with a pencil or lipstick without glossy shine. Lips should be slightly moisturized before distributing lipstick.
3. It is recommended not to rub the lipstick with a matte finish with a brush and lips.
4. To achieve a matte finish, having made up your lips with ordinary lipstick, you need to dip the napkin in powder, shake off the excess and apply it to your lips.

The powder absorbs the gloss, after which the lips become matte.

Also, to add volume to the lips, you can paint over the central area with a white pencil, shade thoroughly, and then cover with gloss.

To remove volume:

1. Use tonal base to mask the natural border and draw a new outline below the natural border.
2. Allocate the corners with thin sharp lines.

What tool to use to apply lipstick

This is not important, but there are differences:

1. It is convenient to use lipstick, twisting it out of the stick and running it over the lips. This method of use is available anywhere.
2. The brush will be able to distribute the lipstick more accurately, especially if the contour is not drawn with a pencil.
3. It is convenient to apply pale tones with your finger, since bright shades with this method of application lie carelessly and protrude beyond the natural border of the lips.

Rules and recommendations from professionals

1. It is not recommended to outline the border with a pencil or apply lipstick, going beyond the natural boundaries of the lips.
2. According to the make-up rules, a bright accent should fall on either the eyes or the lips.
3. The color of the cosmetic product should be selected according to the color type.
4. Lip makeup should be done after preliminary preparation.
5. Correct the contour, if it turns out to be uneven, with a concealer and a thin brush.
