Red lipstick on thin lips: the nuances of makeup. How to properly paint lips with lipstick and pencil

Wondering how to make your lips red without lipstick? There are many effective techniques, but not all of them can be applied. For example, in order to achieve plump and brighter lips, many women sometimes bite them. We strongly advise against resorting to this technique, although for a while it really works.

With its frequent use, the lips begin to acquire an unhealthy bluish tint and peel off a lot. Microcracks appear, through which microbes easily penetrate. The consequence is inflammation, abscesses, herpes. Of course, this is not always the case, but the likelihood of such problems is really high. The same applies to beet juice, which, on the one hand, paints and even nourishes the skin, and on the other, it dries it a lot. Not only that, it can give an unpredictable tint on the lips. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to use both methods. What methods are effective and at the same time safe?

Method one

How to make lips red without lipstick is well known to the workers of tattoo parlors and SPA, who include in the range of their services permanent skin treatment (permanens - permanent). This is the best option for those women who dream of looking perfect all the time: after drinking a cup of coffee, after lunch or dinner, at work and at home. The permanent reshapes and brightens the lips.

1. Outline strokes... It will replace the pencil you need to outline the contours. If you wish, you can choose a pigment that will not "catch the eye". This stroke is recommended for those who do not need anything other than the lip contour. Many women, after drawing, ask for shading. In this case, the result is different.

2. Contour + feathering... Lip treatment begins with a stroke. Colors are used here a little brighter than in the first case, but close to natural. Then shading is done. It can be either partial (one third of the lip, half) or full. This technique helps to achieve the saturation and brightness of the treated cover. The result is bold, bright lips with increased volume.

3. 3D is the "highest level". Here the master must achieve the effect of a play of light (darkened corners, lightening the middle, etc.), therefore he works with several tones at once. With this make-up, not only the contours and lips are painted over, but also the nearby tissues (this effect is called "lip light" in the language of makeup artists). 3D processing makes the whole face look fresher and younger. As for the color scheme, it is incredibly diverse. You can order both the most delicate tones, with a translucent effect, and saturated, with a lipstick effect (there are already such pigments that imitate the application of gloss).

This method allows you to maintain the brightness of the lips and the clarity of their contours for a long time. Repetition will take two years or even three years. True, first you have to undergo herpes prophylaxis. In the process, thousands of microscopic injections are applied, respectively, without mechanical irritation it will not work. This means that if you are prone to this disease, then it is unlikely to be ruled out. Blistering rashes can affect the final result of this makeup. Therefore, it is better to play it safe in advance (the prophylaxis scheme is prescribed in the salon for consultation).

Immediately after the procedure, the lips will be a little swollen (a consequence of the mechanical irritation that we talked about), but after a day the discomfort will be much less, and after two days you can safely go to work.

Massaging with a brush

One of the most common ways. You will need a very soft toothbrush (it is best to take an old one, but do not forget to boil it just before using it) and a little honey (about 1/3 tsp for the procedure). It is very important that it is natural. Apply a small amount of nectar to your lips and massage gently. Then brush over your lips with the bristles of your toothbrush. Do this very carefully, lightly, without pressure. The procedure is short, one minute for each lip. Immediately after such treatment (in fact, this is a hard peeling), wipe your lips with a piece of ice (you can freeze pre-made decoctions of mint or chamomile). The essence of the procedure is to remove flaky skin. Ice mattifies and enhances brightness.

After the procedure, be sure to apply a moisturizing composition to the skin, which is prepared from several types of oil: coconut (only the highest quality), olive, almond and natural wheat germ extract. You can prepare a single-use mixture by taking 1 drop of each ingredient, or prepare the composition for future use for a week. Each of the oils has unique beneficial properties, and together they will make the skin softer, softer and healthier. Rub the mixture lightly onto your lips after each brushing.

Applications

1. Mix 1/3 tsp. high-quality fatty homemade cottage cheese, 1/3 tsp. carrot juice, 1/3 tsp. homemade cream. Apply the composition to the lips for 20-30 minutes and rinse with water. Such applications can be done immediately after massaging the brush (instead of rubbing in oil). If you are allergic to honey, stop using the composition. You can use a mixture of oils instead (see the previous section for the recipe).

2. The easiest option is to use pure natural honey. Just rub it on your lips daily. Honey has many beneficial properties for the skin. It nourishes and moisturizes and acts as an antiseptic. Within a week after honey applications, you can give up hygienic lipstick, as your lips will stop flaking, become brighter and softer. The only contraindication to use is allergy.

Gymnastics

It works especially well when combined with the methods described above. You need to do it daily.

1. Take a cotton swab and press it with your lips against your nose. Hold this for a minute, then relax and repeat the exercise 8-10 times.

3. Pull your lips out with a straw as much as possible. Relax. Smile. Make the straw again. Repeat the exercise 8-10 more times.

Spices

Some spices can also help in this matter.

1. Mix 1/4 tsp. natural cinnamon (just natural!) and 1/4 tsp. honey and rub the composition on the lips. Wash your face after 10 minutes. This manipulation will immediately moisturize the lips and make them a little brighter. Allergy sufferers can substitute wheat germ oil for honey.

2. Cut a small piece from the pre-washed ginger and rub it on your lips. This should be done immediately, while the cut is still wet. Ginger has several positive properties at once. It is a powerful antioxidant. It is able to tighten the skin, tones it perfectly, and, accordingly, restores the natural color of the lips.

other methods... Some women use Kool-Aid powder (for example, cherry), which is mixed with moisturizing oil (olive, almond), in order to enhance the brightness of the lips. It turns out a bright mixture, which is applied instead of long-lasting lipstick. You can just as well use food paint. How to make lips red without lipstick yet? Try rubbing in the juice of bright fruits or berries such as raspberries, cherries, and cranberries. And don't forget about moisturizers.

What to do if a party is planned, and there is no scarlet lipstick in the cosmetic bag? The situation is familiar, probably, to every woman. How and what to replace red lipstick?

The beauty of cosmetics is that many products can be mixed to create new colors and textures at home. And lipstick is exactly the tool that can be easily made from improvised cosmetics.

  • Lip balm + blush

One of the easiest ways! You will need any lip balm and blush or pink / red eyeshadow.

Apply the lip balm in a thick layer, then use your finger to work the blush or eyeshadow into your lips. Interestingly, if you apply a dry product with a hammering motion, the color will be more persistent, but less vibrant. Therefore, we recommend that you first drive the product into the lips, and then stretch it with stroking movements.

If the tone turned out to be not quite even and went beyond the border of the lips, take a cotton swab and apply the same balm on it, and then correct the contour. This will help you get the perfect shape.

Lip balm is a versatile item that will not only help fix makeup, but also remove long-lasting matte lipstick if you don't have a special product at hand. Just apply the balm on top of the lipstick and wait a couple of minutes, then wipe your lips with a napkin - the lipstick will be washed off without a trace. If you use menthol balm, the lips will become not only softer, but also visually plump. Look for even more interesting life hacks on using lip balm.

  • Cream + eyeshadow or creamy eyeliner

The next option is also very simple. If you have an oil-based cream, you can mix any bright eyeshadow or cream with it. For example, eyeliner.

To start, mix the cream and the pigmented product in equal proportions, then add one of the ingredients as needed. Please note that it is the oily cream that is needed (therefore, it is better not to use light fluids). The fact is that it is the fat (oil) that will dissolve dry and creamy products to a softer texture that is suitable for lips.

By the way, if you still have any lipstick in a delicate shade (for example, pale pink) in your cosmetic bag, and you would like to make it brighter, you can also mix it with blush or shadows. Gently cut off some lipstick, warm it on the skin and mix with any product of a richer shade (warm or cold).It is better to use glossy lipstick, as matte lipstick is much more difficult to blend.

Happy experiments! Look for beautiful makeup ideas with bright lips.

In the modern world of beauty, full lips are the ideal. Many girls, who by nature do not have such, seek to add volume to their lips by any means. Someone decides on drastic changes and resorts to plastic surgery, while someone skillfully uses decorative cosmetics. One of the ways to enlarge lips is lipstick, which should be in every lady's purse. Red lipstick on thin lips will give the desired volume to their owner.

Before you get started with lip makeup, check out some tips from makeup artists:

  • Highlighting bright lips, for eyes use calm shades of eyeshadow
  • Before applying lipstick, prepare your lips (both a base base and a balm will do)
  • Choose matte lip pencils, base in natural colors
  • For thin lips, use lipsticks of light colors, because dark colors visually reduce lip volume
  • If you put on your lips in 2-3 layers, you will get the desired volume.
  • When choosing a lipstick color, consider the shade of your teeth (for teeth with a yellowish color, cold tones are suitable).


Choice of lipstick color

Ladies with thin, narrow lips should decide on the color of the lipstick to add plumpness to the lips. These shades include:

  • light pink;
  • peach;
  • light beige;
  • copper;
  • light brown.

Your color type (summer, autumn, winter, spring) is of great importance in lip makeup.

Having decided which one you belong to, it is easier to choose the color of your lipstick. So, for girls with dark hair and brown eyes, golden and brown tones are suitable. For owners of blonde hair and blue eyes, opt for hot pink, cherry, scarlet colors. On red-haired ladies, lipsticks in terracotta, coral shades look great.




When purchasing lipstick from the store, remember that lighting often gives the lipstick a distorted color.

To choose the right shade, go to the window and look at the lipstick in the street light. To understand the shade of lipstick, apply it to the tip of your little finger and bring it to your lips. But remember that it will look a little darker on the lips.

Makeup for thin lips

Thin lips during make-up require a special approach. To properly paint your lips with red lipstick at home, you must:

  • Apply a foundation on the face, avoiding the lip area;
  • Prepare lips for lipstick (apply a base on them with a pencil or concealer);
  • Next, use a pencil to carefully outline the lips. Apply it on the lips, departing from their line by 2-3 mm.
  • Fill in the gaps with concealer or pencil;
  • Then start applying the actual lipstick, using a special brush for even distribution;

  • Remove excess lipstick from your lips with a tissue paper.

Many world stars with thin lips skillfully paint them with red lipstick, using at least two shades. Try to paint the entire surface of the lips with dark lipstick, and apply a light tone on top, shading the clear lines.

How to apply lipstick correctly?

It seems that there is nothing easier for a girl than putting on lipstick. Even little princesses start to pick up toy lipstick and paint their lips "like a mother." But makeup artists recommend getting serious about applying lipstick. There are two options. The first option makes your lips plump:

  • Shade the central part of the upper lip with a pink pencil;
  • Make up the central part of the lower lip with a light brown pencil;
  • Next, paint your lips with a shimmery gloss.

The second option involves a five-step lip makeup scheme:

  • Moisturize lips with balm;
  • Apply a foundation with the applicator;
  • With a pencil, outline the contour of the lips;
  • Apply lipstick with a brush;
  • Blot lips with a napkin.

Choose which method of applying lipstick to your lips is closest to you and be attractive.


According to numerous observations, during communication, people look at the lips of the interlocutor no less often than at the eyes: it is pleasant when they are of a beautiful shape, attract with freshness and juiciness. To do this, you need to remember how to paint your lips correctly, and learn how to apply this knowledge in practice.

Many girls and women face different colors, up to contrasting tones, lipstick colors. This is great: you can change the image using one or another tone. However, do not forget that there is a right time and place for make-up, whatever it may be. After all, no one wants to look inappropriate at best, funny at worst.

  • Daytime make-up requires an approach to naturalness. Therefore, going to work in the office, give preference to matte and satin lipsticks one or two darker than the skin of the lips, which can emphasize their natural color.
  • It is better to refuse lipstick in the color of lilac and purple shades during the day: with it you will look artificial.
  • Remember that dark colors should be used with caution during the day, in natural light. These lipsticks visually make the lips look smaller. So if they are already small and thin, the effect will be the opposite of what you want it to be.
  • But with a product with a pearlescent shine, on the contrary, the lips will seem larger from the side. The main thing is that, as already mentioned, it should be the most natural shade close to skin color.
  • Bright dark lipsticks, pearlescent in unusual colors - what you need for evening make-up. They will emphasize the style, make the image defiant, mysterious, funny - the way you want it yourself and which is suitable for a particular occasion.
  • You can mix several shades if you use a special brush to apply the lipstick.

How to reshape your lips?

Any of us would like to have flawlessly shaped lips with a beautiful "Cupid arch", plump and seductive. Unfortunately, nature is not so generous as to give such gifts to everyone. But you can correct and even change the shape of the lips yourself. To do this, you need to know how to properly paint your lips with lipstick and pencil. A very important condition - the color of the latter is matched to a tone darker than lipstick. Otherwise, you will end up with something that looks like an unsuccessful photo frame. The contour line should be thin. And one more thing: so that during the day the lip contour does not turn into "Amur waves", you will have to look in the mirror more often and, if necessary, correct the defects.

The contour is applied in a certain way.

  1. You need to start the procedure from the center of the upper lip.
  2. Then the line is carefully drawn to the corners, but does not reach them.
  3. Do the same with the lower lip.
  4. The final touch is the design of the corners of the lips.

If you want to visually enlarge your lips, the contour should be drawn outside the natural border of the lips and applied under the lipstick a kind of base - gloss.

Another way to achieve the visual effect of greater plumpness is to lightly run lighter lipstick in the middle of the lips painted with the main color. And do not forget to shade so that the transition around the edges is not striking.

If there is an opposite goal - to make the lips seem a little smaller, in your opinion, that are too plump, makeup artists advise you to powder them first, and then draw a contour with a pencil, but already inside the natural border. After the contour line should be rubbed as carefully as possible towards the center. Owners of too large a mouth will have to forget about pearlescent lipsticks (about gloss, by the way, too): they are able to "puff" their lips even more. The most suitable option is lipsticks with a matte texture.

Applying lip liner

Who knows how to properly paint lips with a pencil, they use such a tool not only in a situation where it is necessary to draw a contour and prevent lipstick from getting out of it. It is also perfect for applying lipstick, replacing it with lipstick. Stylists claim that this option, without any additional tweaks, is able to give the lips additional plumpness.

But it is better to sharpen the pencil shaft thinner, especially when it comes to creating a contour line. Otherwise, the lips will turn out not just plump, but will look like dumplings.

There is one more condition that is very important when a pencil replaces lipstick: its high quality. This will avoid microscopic injury to the skin.

As for the contour, if there is uncertainty in your skills and it is difficult to cope with the task, it is better to put the pencil aside and do with lipstick.

Or use a small but very useful trick:

  • Place a dot in the center of the upper lip.
  • Mark a couple more at some distance on both sides.
  • Slowly, connect, without bringing the line to the corners.
  • Do the same manipulations with the lower lip.
  • Finish off with a contour in the corners.

Lip shaping technique without a pencil

If you are lucky with a flawlessly even lip contour, you can easily afford to save on buying a pencil: high-quality cosmetics are not cheap. Lipstick will accentuate the beauty of the mouth just as well. You just need to know what procedures should be done before applying it.

  1. A special tonic should be used to cleanse the skin of the lips.
  2. Then pamper them with chapstick (or lip cream).
  3. Apply lipstick on top of the base color - using a brush.
  4. Surely lipstick turned out to be a bit too much. The excess will have to be blotted with a paper towel.
  5. Cover your mouth a little with the powder you usually use.
  6. And the last action - apply lipstick of a lighter shade to the centers of the upper and lower lips, blend.

Who is red lipstick suitable for? How to apply it?

There is no girl in the world who would not be adorned with red lipstick. She is preferred by self-confident persons who are not afraid to respond to the challenges of the environment. And it is also good because, with a skillful combination with the rest of the makeup and clothes, it can be "worn" at any time of the day. Another thing is that you need to know which tone will suit you. Otherwise, you will certainly have to catch the surprised looks of colleagues at work or bystanders on the street.

  • Are you blonde or the mistress of ashy hair? Your shade of red is austere cold. Avoid brick and carrot notes. They will look out of place on your face.
  • Those with a yellowish or even straw-colored hairstyle should prefer a rich red. It is good for such girls to choose matte lipstick. You just need to take into account that its texture and color are able to make the slightest imperfections of the skin of the face catch the eye of others. This means that you have to take care of the quality of the make-up.
  • If you are a light-skinned brunette, then pay attention to the red and berry tones. For example, a raspberry color during the day would be fine. But dark-haired beauties with transparent porcelain skin should give preference to cold red with a sheen of blue or purple.
  • For slightly yellowish skin, the best option is a peach and even orange glow of red lipstick.
  • Red-burgundy tones and shades of dark cherry are very suitable for dark-haired women.
  • Since there is no time to go into subtleties, feel free to choose red terracotta. It suits absolutely everyone and will beautify you regardless of hair and skin color.

There is nothing unusual in the technique of applying red lipstick.

These are the same steps as using any other color:

  • concealer / foundation;
  • powder for a smooth surface;
  • highlighter on the "birdie" above the lip;
  • pencil outline;
  • pomade.

How to properly paint lips with matte lipstick?

This lipstick texture is extremely popular with modern fashionistas and beauties.

There are several reasons for this general acceptance:

  • quite persistent, under certain conditions it stays on the lips all day;
  • you can feel calm in such lipstick: with awkward movements, it will not leave marks on clothes;
  • evenly covers the skin, gives the lips a fresh look.

True, you need to try to achieve this effect.

  1. First, the lips should not be dry or flaky. All defects will “emerge” under the matte lipstick.
  2. Secondly, it is better to apply such lipstick with a brush. So the coating comes out evenly, filling in all the folds on the lips.
  3. Thirdly, it is necessary to start the procedure from the center. On the upper lip - from the "arch of Cupid", carefully moving to the corners. On the bottom - from the middle.
  4. Fourthly, a matching contour pencil will add visual plumpness to the lips, if necessary.

The nuances of applying dark lipstick

In the past few years, dark lips have been at their peak. Sometimes these are lipsticks of a rather unexpected color. It will not be easy to remember at least one fashion show, during which beauties with dark lipstick on their lips would not defile on the catwalk. And the original make-up always makes a splash.

There are several subtleties to present a face in a winning light.

  1. The skin of the face should look perfect: the slightest flaw, from almost imperceptible redness to oily sheen, in combination with a dark lipstick from a "speck in the eye" will turn into a real "log".
  2. With a dark matte lipstick, you don't need to draw a pencil outline. But if you decide, remember: chubby persons need to draw it with straight lines, and on a narrow elongated face - curved.
  3. It is necessary to apply lipstick with a brush. With her, the layer of makeup will lie flawlessly.
  4. Make the lips darker in the corners and lighter in the center. This nuance will give them volume.
  5. The accentuated Cupid Arch will add sensuality to your look.

Most girls and women do this every day, and many do not even think about whether everything was done correctly. It's about how to properly paint your lips with lipstick. Maybe it seems to someone that everything is simple here and there are no subtleties, but this is not at all true. You can even say that not all women master the ability to make their mouth attractive in their entire life.

Choice of color and tone

To be able to correctly and beautifully apply lipstick or fixative is, of course, very important. But what shade it will be is sometimes even more important. You always need to select a tone and color based not on your preferences, but on what kind of cosmetic product is best suited and beautifies your face. There are general rules that may help you in your choice.

So, tanned young ladies are best suited for juicy and bright colors, you should pay attention to lipsticks in peach and coral shades. For owners of white-skinned faces, shades from pink to plum would be a good option. The main thing is that it is better to choose all shades in a cold range, it will look perfect.

You can also choose the color of your lipstick based on your hair color. For blondes, berry, pink-chocolate shades and all beige tones are most suitable. Brown lipstick and brick red shade looks good on the lips of ginger beauties. But the owners of dark hair should stop at the crimson, scarlet and overripe cherry color fixatives.

Bright mouth without makeup

For everyday makeup, and in general, if a girl does not like too rich makeup, there are ways to make her lips red without lipstick. For this, such a wonderful remedy as tint was invented. What is it?

Tint can be a liquid pigment, a kind of water that has a very bright color. Use it to apply to the mouth and cheeks. The tint gives the lips a natural, but at the same time bright color, and the cheeks shine with a natural blush. Another tint is similar in consistency to lip gloss, and the packaging is usually similar, but there is a difference in use.

Liquid tint is simply applied to the surface of the mouth or cheeks and rubbed to give a natural and even shade. The second option, which looks like a gloss, is applied to the lips, gently and evenly spreading over the entire surface. You need to wait until the product dries and after that a film forms on the lips, which you just need to carefully remove.

Preparing and cleaning the surface of the mouth

You need to start preparation with peeling the lips, as they are prone to peeling and cracking, crusts and skin particles form on them, which make the surface rough. There are a great variety of peeling options: you can do it at home, or you can just buy a ready-made scrub. Here are two easy-to-make lip scrubs:

  1. In a saucer or small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of sugar with 1 tbsp. spoon of honey and warm in the microwave for one minute. Apply a warm mass to the surface of the mouth and hold for a couple of minutes, after which, with soft circular movements, as if rubbing, massage the surface of the mouth.
  2. In any container, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of honey, stir thoroughly, add a few drops of olive (or any other) oil, and stir in the same way. Carry out the same procedure, wait and massage for a couple of minutes.

These scrubs will help get rid of all unevenness on the skin, make the lips silky and soft. These procedures are best done a few hours before applying makeup to achieve the most beautiful look.

Special cosmetic pencil

The best and irreplaceable assistant in the correct and beautiful application of a standard product is a pencil. Thanks to him, the biggest secret will be revealed - how to beautifully make up your lips with red lipstick. The pencil has many functions and skills. Thanks to the use of a waterproof sample, the fixative on the lips will last longer and better. Also, with the help of it, you can correct the shape of the lips, enlarge and give them a more magnificent shape.

If there is nothing in the cosmetic bag except a pencil, this is not a problem at all, but quite the opposite. Apply the pencil not only to the contour, but also to the entire surface of the lips, this will make the makeup look ultra-fashionable, since matte delicate sponges have not gone out of fashion for many years.

If there is a desire to increase the volume of your mouth, wanting it to be attractive and bright, this can and should be done only with a pencil. To do this, you need to go slightly beyond the edges of the native contour. The main thing here is not to overdo it! You can go beyond the boundaries by a maximum of 2 mm and only where the line is even, that is, the "bow" does not need to be moved from the boundaries in any way. If you do this, it will look funny and ridiculous.

Also, a pencil is used as a base before applying lipstick. This will make the color brighter and more saturated, and the lipstick on the lips will last much longer.

A description of how to properly apply lipstick on the lips will be using the example of a red product. Why this particular color? Dyeing lips with such a tool is the most difficult process, but at the same time, if you deal with it, applying other lipsticks will not be difficult.

There is an opinion that red lipstick is not for everyone. This is a fundamentally wrong statement. Firstly, there are a lot of shades of this color, from lighter to darker, and a great variety of tones from warm to cold. It may not be possible to immediately find your color, but it's worth it, because a red cosmetic product will perfectly complement any image, and even more so it is a trend that does not go out of fashion. So, how to properly paint lips with red lipstick step by step:

There are three important rules to keep in mind when using red lipstick. First: Red lipstick can show a yellow tinge to your teeth, so if your smile isn't pure white, stick to cooler shades and avoid warm ones. This will visually "whiten" the tooth enamel.

Second: any bright lipstick, and even more red, will highlight any imperfections on the face. Pimples, redness, uneven complexion, etc. Therefore, a perfect complexion and a barely noticeable blush will be a must. The smoother the tone, the more effective the lips will look.

And the third, an equally important rule: red lips should be the brightest accent not only on the face, but also in the image as a whole. Such lipstick must be skillfully "worn" so that it is elegant, beautiful and not vulgar. Following all these tips and rules will help any girl to make perfect red lips!
