Lipstick Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur, 5 rouge, Chanel

The case when at one glance at lipstick there is already a release of endorphins. Immediately imagine how you put this handy pencil in a clutch and be carried away "into the night" (or maybe "in the day": there are 6 shades on the chanel.ru website - from nude to fuchsia). The brand promises a satin finish, comfort in wear and a durability rare for a shiny lipstick - at least four hours (the formula contains 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 during the intermission I still had a flawless red lip! (and they gave, for a second, "Uncle's Dream" at the Mayakovsky Theater, each act for an hour and a half). Completely lipstick came off in about seven hours and did it like a lady - without streaks and the effect of "kiss of Dracula". In fact, she just soaked into her 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 bombastic matte "ink" for lips in the Chanel Ink line), but, you must admit, it's boring to wear the same textures every day. It's like having only one 2.55 handbag - you need both white and blue, and you can't live without a red one. I myself adore matte formulas, but when I want more “life” on my lips, I choose gloss or satin. Le Rouge Crayon De Couleur has an optimal density - not too greasy and not quite airy. You feel him 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, and for the shape of a pencil, Chanel marketers need to write out a separate premium. I painted Le Rouge Crayon De Couleur both in a taxi, and in an elevator, and generally groping in the dark - and not even once did I not draw a red mustache for myself, but did not even go beyond the contour. For the summer I will buy a shade of "fuchsia" - and I will paint in a sun lounger on the seashore.

Price: 2 600 rub.

Elena Motinova recommends applying different shades of Pure Color Love to the top and lower lip... They will blend throughout the day and your lips will change color like a sunset sky.

Price: 1 955 rub.

I like liquid matte lipsticks, but often such means do not suit me because they behave disgustingly on the lips: they lie down with heavy cement, mercilessly dry the skin, tighten their lips, do not allow themselves to be adequately layered, etc. Therefore, I expect from matte lipstick not so much durability for the whole day, but a decent look and respect for the lips.

The packaging for the lipstick is made of transparent plastic with a black matte cap, opens / closes tightly.

I have lipstick in shades 18 and 6.

The applicator is, in principle, convenient, it can evenly paint over the lips, perhaps, I would like a little sharper tip to make it easier to paint over the contour and corners of the lips.

The texture is pleasant, creamy, evenly applied, does not cause baldness. It smells like watermelon.

Shade 18 (not yet hardened):

Shade 6 (not yet hardened):

Comparison of shades 18 and 6 (10 minutes after application):

Lipstick (shade 18):

It can be seen that immediately after application it is not matte at all. It looks like a regular cream, and it freezes for just an eternity. I put on my lips, about an hour passed, took a bite, the lipstick looked like this:

I ate a little. But even after another half hour, it is still imprinted on the napkin:

True, once I applied lipstick and went outside in a small subzero temperature and she froze in a couple of minutes. But I really like how it feels on the lips, it does not lay down with cement, does not dry and tighten the lips, does not roll, does not emphasize irregularities and peeling, it feels like velvet after hardening. It looks and feels like a creamy lipstick has been dusted a little.

For some time before applying lipstick, I first apply a moisturizer on my lips, then remove it with a napkin, wait half an hour and lipstick on top.

If you try to lay the lipstick on an already dried layer, it will not work out very well, it will lie unevenly:

In general, the durability is not bad for such a comfortable texture, fatty foods, of course, will not stand it if you eat like a person, but if you smear yourself after dinner and just drink, then you will live until the end of the working day, such are the conditions) But for not waiting until it becomes dull, I shoot a star.

Easily removed with micellar water, hydrophilic oil and even more so.

Make-up, like clothes, has its own fashion trends that can remain unchanged for years, or change every new season... Recently, the most stylish solution in lip makeup is considered to be the application of matte lipstick or gloss. The velvet finish makes the image more interesting and mysterious, although it requires practically ideal condition skin. The offer of such products is wide in various price categories, you can find your favorite matte color from Lime crime, Luxvisage, Avon, Chanel, etc. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with matte finishes for lips.

Benefits of Liquid Matte Gloss

The first great merit velvet cover on the lips is its versatility. It can be used for any type of makeup, which cannot be said for glossy or pearlescent options. Such gloss has a fairly high content of pigment elements, which provides a beautiful dense color coverage. The creamy structure of the shine envelops more neatly delicate skin lips, and useful elements in the composition have a beneficial effect on her condition. Separately, it should be noted that, unlike usual matte gloss does not stick.

How to properly apply a matte gloss

The matte surface without shine has its own characteristics. So, it visually makes the lips narrower, so if they do not already differ in noticeable plumpness, it is better to avoid using this type of coating. The velvety texture due to the lack of shine can highlight the existing imperfections, so it is very important to exfoliate and moisturize the lips before applying. For saturated, bright colors, the use of a contour pencil remains relevant.

Separately, it is worth noting the high durability of the created lip makeup, which can be significantly increased through the use of a base and a contour pencil.

How to make lip gloss matte?

Matte finish on lips can be created without special lipstick or shine. To achieve this effect, you first just need to paint the lips with the desired color. In case of shine, then you need to apply a thin paper towel to the glossy surface and apply a small amount of powder through it. If you use regular lipstick, you can do without a napkin, but the amount of powder should be minimal - only to achieve matte, without changing the color of the coating.

Gone are the days when shiny lips were in trend. Today, matte retro is in vogue, a bright, but discreet accent on the lips. Matte gloss for lips is exactly the remedy that helps to get similar effect... Convenient jar with small amount cosmetics, inside a brush with a neat bend. Although previously only podium makeup artists used this tool, recently ordinary girls give them preference when it comes to choosing lipstick.

Dignity

Matte lipstick is a versatile product. It allows you to make a pleasant natural effect, although it can look bright and defiant. It can be used both for work and for a date, it looks quite natural and elegant, without excess and vulgarity. The price of a regular gloss and a matte finish is approximately the same. But there are other reasons why cosmetologists prefer matte products. The creamy texture gives a lot of advantages:

• ease of application;
• lack of stickiness - hair does not cling and lips do not stick together;
• weightless sensations;
• good durability.

Thanks to this structure, the product lasts longer. If you apply it thin layer- it is easily absorbed and will not smudge. It is quite easy to do this, if the color is light, you can fix your makeup in a few seconds. Regular lipstick works exactly the opposite: more makeup is required so that it does not wear off longer. The higher the price, the greater the chance of passing with one coat of gloss all day.

disadvantages

The main disadvantage of any matte product for lips - incredible detail. Every little thing, every crease and crack will be highlighted. Therefore, you should not waste time and money on such cosmetics if you are not sure about the condition of your lips. Moisturizers and creams can partially cope with this problem if they are applied under lipstick. But the solution does not last long, and constantly rinsing off the matte lip gloss and applying again is difficult and requires a lot of cosmetics. In everyday life, there is rarely enough time for this.

The second disadvantage is appearance... The matte effect looks elegant, but visually reduces the size of the lips. This can be avoided by using correct eyeliner and paint competently. Besides, bright colours can be applied unevenly - the texture of all glitters is light, it takes some skill to do everything neatly. Funds, whose price is quite high, are often homogeneous, they are easier to distribute without unpleasant streaks.

How to choose

It is very important to choose correct shine... Matte directly depends on quality. The texture should be uniform so that the makeup does not wear off as long as possible. Any lumps or lumps should turn off the choice of this product. The aroma should also be pleasant and light, any smell of chemistry is excluded. Lipstick can easily get into the mouth, girls constantly bite their lips, "eating" cosmetics, if the product smells strange, then there is something harmful among its components.

Be sure to check out the composition. Good cosmetics should contain useful substances:

• amino acids,
• vitamins,
• sunscreen components.

Regular lipstick rarely contains substances allergic... One of these is beeswax, which can also be in matte sheen. Above average cosmetics may contain more than safe components... They are necessary so that the long-lasting gloss is evenly distributed over the surface, moreover, allergies are rare. Check in advance if there is any negative reaction so that there are no surprises.

Application plan

If your lips have some imperfections, first moisturize and soften with a special serum or nourishing agent. Modern gloss, especially the rather expensive luxury class, contains all the necessary nutrients but the quality may vary.

Then you should take a contour pencil or eyeliner of the same shade and outline the boundaries of the lips. It is not necessary to do this, but this point of the plan will add completeness to the image, otherwise the lips may turn out to be blurry and indistinct at the edges, the lipstick will be slightly shaded. If you want to make your mouth a little larger, feel free to go beyond the boundaries, but no more than half a millimeter. The shine itself should not do this, it is slightly transparent, so the colors will differ noticeably.

It is better to apply matte shine from the center, smoothly distributing it to the corners. Modern cosmetical tools have a comfortable brush that scoops up just as much as necessary. But it is better to check the amount of cosmetics experimentally.

If you want to make your regular lip gloss matte, apply it gently, place a thin tissue on top, and powder. Particles of makeup will penetrate to the lips and smooth out glossy reflections. It's easier and faster to buy a ready-made matte gloss, the price is about the same.

Finally, be sure to look at the result in daylight. Lip gloss is somewhat reminiscent of regular markers: if you apply layers on top of each other, the color will become brighter. It is the same with a matte sheen: stripes of different shades may appear, which after a while will become noticeable when slightly absorbed.

This video explains and explains all the subtleties. step-by-step makeup for beginners. If you are just starting to dive into the world of cosmetics, then it is recommended to watch.

Lipstick and lip gloss- the first makeup products that fall into the hands of teenage girls. Being very young, they stealthily take their mother's lipstick and paint their face with it, unconsciously identifying themselves as a woman. Until recently, stylists recommended that teenage girls do not paint their lips with lipstick, but use lip gloss for this purpose. Young girls, painting their lips in bright colors, caused a condescending smile. It was believed that lip glosses in opaque versions and close to natural shades give lips volume and freshness, emphasize youth and do not add vulgarity, as is the case with lipstick.

However, in last years situation changed... Glossy lips are now considered completely asexual and are a hint of the fact that they were invitingly drawn with the tip of the tongue. Lip gloss looks artificial, does not last long, sticks and spreads. According to polls of cosmetologists, men also do not like kissing lips with gloss. "It is very unpleasant to lick this glue in an attempt to get to the lips themselves!" they said. For this reason, now most brands are betting on lipstick, and the most fashionable for everyday makeup are translucent shining shades.

For the evening stylists recommend paint your lips with a bright matte lipstick, such as was in vogue in the 50s and 90s of the last century. They are confident that matte lipstick shades have a great future. Previously, matte lipsticks were not in demand among women: they dried lips and made them visually thinner. Modern matte lipsticks have a completely different texture, contain moisturizing ingredients and make lips look fuller. Lips painted with bright matte lipstick are an indicator of health and sexual arousal, and therefore attract the attention of men.

Bright red lipstick today at the height of fashion. However, young girls are better off choosing light lipstick natural shade of color "nude". She will give the image a naturalness, skillfully and stylishly accentuated with "lipstick without color". Muted pink lipstick colors are also suitable for young girls. Even though they hide completely natural color, a layer of lipstick pink shades looks dense and natural on the lips.

Advantages lipsticks over lip gloss obvious. They have a more pronounced durability on the lips, they look neat and do not stick. And if you apply lipstick correctly, then they can create both a new image and give young image freshness. Max Factor creative director Pat Magrath advises to paint your lips depending on the circumstances:
- for creating sexual image Like Marilyn Monroe, apply a bright red lipstick to your lips, then paint the center of your lips with a deep wine shade. Finish with a brush to blend the lips for a plump, plumper effect.
- if you want a trendy kissed lips effect, apply to lips bright lipstick and hammer it in with your fingertips. If necessary, blot your lips with a tissue and apply a second coat.

Today regulations, which for decades have been rigorously observed by women in lip makeup, are losing their power. Gone are the days when lipstick had to be applied to the lips, after having outlined them. contour pencil... Makeup artists today do not remember about lip pencil at all, preferring the vague contours of fashionable "kissed" lips, or recommend using them instead of lipstick, and not together with it.

Now for lip makeup it is enough to have only one lipstick in the cosmetic bag. The main thing is to find the "right" shade that suits your color type and will look advantageous with your skin tone. The most fashionable lipstick of the year at the same time was named the classic of blood-scarlet color. It was she who was preferred by the make-up masters at the shows of Saint Laurent, Celine, Antonio Berardi, Carolina Herrera and Bottega Veneta.

Of course, bold lip makeup bright red lipstick is not for everyone, and it will only be appropriate for stylish and confident women. Therefore, many leading cosmetics manufacturers are in no hurry to exclude saturated pink colors from their lipstick line, which are the personification of tenderness and relaxedness in one shade. They are best suited for young teenage girls and romantic people.

Matte lipstick red color is recommended by makeup artists for lip makeup and women over 45 years old. " Dark shades lipsticks age, and bright colors visually enlarge lips and make a woman younger "- they say. The main condition when choosing a lipstick for mature women is that it must be of good quality, with moisturizing and nourishing ingredients. Otherwise, the lipstick will spread and penetrate into small folds around To make the lipstick lay down smoother, women over 45 should regularly use lip scrub and balm, then the skin of the lips will remain firm and even on long years and you can dye it with bright red lipstick without a doubt.
