Harmful Addictions 

Matte lipstick or gloss. Everything you need to know about lip glosses. Effect: discreet matte or exciting gloss

Lipstick is a cosmetic product for coloring, protecting and moisturizing lips.

Lipstick was first used in Mesopotamia about 5,000 years ago. Lip paint was already known in ancient Egypt. There it was made from red pigment, beeswax and animal fat. The Egyptians preferred dark lipsticks.
The range of modern lipsticks strikes with a palette of shades - from transparent, colorless hygienic lipsticks to provocative lipsticks of blue, green and black shades.
There are several types of lipstick at the moment: Moisturizing, nourishing, long-lasting, hygienic, matte, satin, glossy, volumizing, visually whitening teeth.


Wax, which is part of the composition and is the main component, determines the shape of lipstick, ensures its strength and plasticity, it is thanks to its addition that lipstick keeps the shape of a cylinder familiar to all girls. This ensures easy application of lipstick without the use of any additional brushes and accessories.


The authorship of lipstick in a tube belongs to the firm GUERLAIN. The appearance of the first lipstick in metal packaging (in the USA, 1915) gave rise to a "lipstick boom", because it became convenient to use lipstick anywhere, not just at home.


Modern women can boast of a solid arsenal, a set of different brands, shades and types of lipstick.


British scientists conducted a study and found that the average man eats 8 kilograms of lipstick per year, which enters his body during a kiss. It is terrible to imagine the result of such a study among women. Scientists also disagree about the harm from lipstick- frequent use lipstick leads to the accumulation of coloring substances in internal organs, also the use of lipstick can lead to disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, various allergic reactions and other digestive problems.


But modern beauties cannot be frightened by anything, and the cosmetic industry does not stand still and improves its products - lipstick not only colors lips, but also moisturizes the skin, softens and protects lips from negative impact environment.

LIP GLOSS

Lip gloss is a cosmetic product that adds shine and subtle color to the lips.


Most often, lip gloss is a liquid consistency. It can be completely transparent or translucent, but it can also contain glitter or particles that give the lips a metallic sheen, frost effect or effect. full lips(with the help of the collagen included in its composition).


The first lip gloss was a Max Factor product introduced to the public in 1932. The original formula was sold until 2003, when Procter and Gamble stopped making and selling it.


Like lipstick, lip gloss is available in various forms - in small bottles with an applicator or brush, with which the gloss is applied to the lips, or in tubes, as well as in jars. In this case, the gloss is applied with fingertips.
The advantage of gloss is that it has a more “juicy” consistency compared to lipstick, as well as its big plus is that it is applied more easily and lays down more evenly than lipstick.
But its disadvantage is that it is more ductile and less resistant. Gloss often spreads and wears off the surface of the lips quite quickly, while lipstick, especially “resistant”, lasts for several hours without correction.




Mostly lip gloss is preferred young girls, as it is associated with a young, sexy look, but older women also use lip gloss due to its ability to mask fine wrinkles on the lips.

Special moisturizing ingredients are also added to the lip gloss, which care for the lips. For example, lip gloss may contain cocoa butter, flaxseed, coconut oil, green tea extract and vitamins, as well as substances that provide protection from harmful UV radiation.

Reviews of women about cosmetics with a matte finish

Most women leave positive reviews about matte lip glosses. They note rich colors, good durability of cosmetics. Negative Feedback often caused by improper application of the product, many fashionistas are confused by the high cost of the goods. Kylie's fashionable shine disappointed many girls - high cost, very liquid texture, products with marriage often come across.

“For a long time I wanted to buy a lipstick with a matte effect, I read a lot of reviews, I decided to choose NYX lip gloss. And she didn’t regret it - excellent durability, a tube lasts for several months, moisturizes lips, there are no harmful components. I have already bought several shades for myself, they cost about 350-420 rubles.

Evgenia, Moscow.

“Hiccuped Kylie lip gloss for a long time, they talk about it a lot. I managed to get a neutral shade, which I use for everyday and evening makeup. The kit comes with a pencil, only the color does not quite match - a burgundy pencil was attached to my almost natural remedy. Pros: fit well saturated color, pleasant sensations after application. The disadvantage is very persistent, it can not be removed with any composition. After a few hours, it begins to fall off in pieces, it turns out not very beautiful.

Margarita, Nizhny Novgorod.

“A friend gave me a strawberry NYX gloss. I expected to see a vigorous pink, but he pleased with a pleasant muted color. It is easy to paint with it, it protects well from overdrying. The lasting effect is average, it can be smeared with inaccurate application. In general, my review is positive, the product does not cause negative emotions. But I'm not in a hurry to buy other colors yet.

Svetlana, St. Petersburg.

“I have been using matte glosses and lipsticks for a long time, I really like them. I used to buy expensive Kylie products, but she disappointed me. In my favorite store I saw Matt Matt Matt Longlasting Lipgloss for a very ridiculous price - 250 rubles. Pleasant smell, good texture, does not spread, there is no sticky feeling on the lips. Disadvantages - a small number of shades in the line, it is difficult to choose a color, not quite matte, even after complete drying, some shine remains, the durability is average.

Elizabeth, Moscow region.

Matte decorative cosmetics allows you to create a fashionable, original image, emphasize the beauty and dignity of the lower part of the face. Means from the company Kylie, NYX, Pin-up perfectly combine durability, rich color and pleasant texture.

There is an opinion that lip gloss is suitable for girls, and for older women there is lipstick. A few decades ago, this was indeed true. Currently, cosmetics manufacturers have improved the formulas. Lipsticks have become more transparent and lighter, and glosses have acquired density and color saturation. How to make a choice?

Lipstick has a dense texture, due to which it perfectly protects lips from chapping even in the most severe frost. The use of gloss in winter is fraught with the appearance of cracks on the skin of the lips. But protection from harmful effects solar radiation can provide both means if they contain SPF filters.

Fortitude

The main advantage of lipstick over lip gloss is its staying power. It is able to withstand several hours, regardless of weather conditions. At the same time, the lack of lipstick follows from this: it begins to wear off at the point of contact of the lips. It does not look aesthetically pleasing, and it is very problematic to fix makeup on the run.

Lip gloss lasts less time and wears off just like lipstick. But, thanks to the transparent texture, it is not so conspicuous. In addition, it is quite possible to tint lips with gloss even in the absence of a mirror.

Lip comfort

Lip glosses, due to their liquid texture, give a sticky feel. On the one hand, this can be seen as positive quality because the lips are constantly moisturized. On the other hand, this a big problem during the summer period. Everything sticks to the lips: own hair, poplar fluff, dust particles.

Lipstick either does not have a sticky effect at all, or it is minimized. However, frequent and long-term use of lipstick can dry out the skin of the lips.

What to choose

If you want to emphasize the lips, it is better to use lipstick. Lip gloss is suitable for bright eye makeup. When you want to visually enlarge the lips, again, it is better to do this with lipstick. It is necessary to expand the contour a little, going beyond its borders. With gloss, this technique is also possible, but for this you will have to choose a dense texture and use a lip pencil.

For office work, lipstick with a matte texture is more suitable. It looks more restrained than the most neutral lip gloss. Glossy textures and sparkles are appropriate for walking, meeting with friends, etc. To go out, you can use both lipstick and gloss of rich color and dense texture.

Xenia Wagner Choice of Creative Director of BeautyHack

Lipstick Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur, 5 rouge, Сhanel

The case when at the mere glance of lipstick there is already a release of endorphins. You can immediately imagine how you put this handy pencil in a clutch and you will be carried away “into the night” (or maybe “into the day”: on the website chanel.ru there are 6 shades in assortment - from nude to fuchsia). The brand promises a satin finish, comfort to wear and rare for a shiny lipstick durability - at least four hours (in the formula - special film-forming pigments).

But in fact, everything is even better than the press release says. I applied Le Rouge Crayon De Couleur two hours before going to the theater - and in the intermission I was still flawlessly red-lipped! (and they gave, for a second, "Uncle's Dream" at the Mayakovsky Theater, each act for an hour and a half). The lipstick completely came off in seven hours and did it like a lady - without streaks and the "Dracula's kiss" effect. In fact, it just soaked into the lips - so that they looked a little brighter than usual.

Special thanks to Chanel for the satin finish. Now everyone is obsessed with matte lipsticks (by the way, Chanel has bombing matte “inks” for lips in the Chanel Ink line), but, you see, it’s boring to wear the same textures every day. It's like having only one handbag 2.55 - you need both white and blue, and you can't live without red at all. I myself adore matte formulas, but when I want more “life” on my lips, I choose gloss or satin. At Le Rouge Crayon De Couleur, it has the optimal density - not too greasy and not quite airy. You feel it on your lips for the first few seconds - and then you live with him, as with your beloved husband, not counting the hours spent together. Well, for the shape of the pencil, Chanel marketers should be given a separate award. I painted Le Rouge Crayon De Couleur both in a taxi, and in an elevator, and in general by touch in the dark - and not only did I not draw a red mustache for myself, but I didn’t even go beyond the contour. For the summer I will buy a shade of "fuchsia" - and I will paint in a deck chair on the seashore.

Price: 2 600 rubles.

Peculiarities

Matte lip gloss is a universal beauty product, the use of which will be appropriate both in the daytime and in evening make-up. What can not be said about mother-of-pearl and glossy counterparts, which in daytime can look too catchy and defiant.

Matte glosses have a creamy texture - lighter than lipstick. They lie nicely on the lips and do not dry the skin. However, they are well pigmented, have a fairly thick consistency, thanks to which they create a dense luxurious coating.

If we compare matte lip glosses with ordinary ones, it can be noted that matte cosmetics do not give a sticky effect. And the durability is higher, which means that you will not need to worry about touching up makeup often.



The use of lip glosses with a matte effect has its own nuances. Firstly, they slightly reduce the volume of the lips, making them visually narrower. It turns out that it is better for girls with thin lips to refuse them. Secondly, the matte texture emphasizes existing peeling and cracks. Therefore, when using this gloss, it is recommended to regularly exfoliate the lips with a scrub and moisturize them with a balm or cosmetic oil.

In addition, you need to be careful when using matte glosses in age-related makeup, as they draw attention to mimic wrinkles.



It is important to know the main features of makeup with matte lip gloss:

  • It should be applied from the middle of the lip to the corners.
  • Don't neglect contour pencil- it will help to outline the line of the lips, slightly adjust their shape and prevent the gloss from spreading.
  • If the glitter smudges quickly, you may be applying too much. thick layer. Thin holds much better, so scoop up less glitter.
  • To ensure maximum wear and avoid having to add color throughout the day, use the following trick: apply gloss to your lips and then lightly blot them. paper napkin. After that, apply a second layer of the product.
