How to choose a shade of lipstick?

Correctly choose a shade of lipstick - the whole art. It is important to take into account both the complexion, the color of the eyes, and the color of the hair. Not the least role is also played by the hairstyle and the chosen outfit.

If you prefer naturalness in makeup,then boldly choose a lipstick in the color of your lips or 1-2 shades darker or lighter. In this case, with almost 100% certainty, it can be said that this shade of lipstick will suit you.

If you have a light, white skin, then you go"Cold" shades of lipstick: pink, plum. They are based on a blue color. If your skin is tanned, "warm", then lipstick you should choose a "warm" color: peach, chocolate, etc.

If you have blonde hair, then any lipstick on their background looks brighter, so it's important not to "go too far" with the brightness of the chosen lipstick. But, if your hair is dark, then you face more vivid shades.

Do not forget about the shade of your teeth. Remember that coral and orange shades strengthen the yellowness of teeth, while with lipstick cold shades teeth look whiter.

If you want to hide the unevenness of the teeth, then do not use too bright lipsticks - they focus on this shortcoming.

The color of the lipstick should not match the shade of your skin that you want to hide (excessive redness, yellowness, bluish skin, etc.).

Dark and bright saturated shades of lipstick makelips are visually thinner, so they do not fit the owners of thin lips. Much preferable in this case is a lipstick of light shades, with a mother of pearl, lipstick with a shining effect. In turn, girls and women with full lips, too, should abandon too unnatural shades, if they do not want to look vulgar.

Lipstick should not spread, it dirty your teeth and clothes. Therefore, special attention should be paid to competent application of lipstick on the lips. Professionals recommend:

• Be sure to delineate the lip contour with a special pencil before applying lipstick. The color of the pencil should be chosen in the color of the lips or lipstick, but not darker.


• Lipstick should not be applied with a brush or an applicator, but directly from a tube. Then the lipstick will last longer, and its color will be more intense.


• Lightly pat your lips with a tissue after applying lipstick. Thanks to this technique, an extra layer of lipstick is removed.


• To protect your teeth from getting lipstick on them,Do not stretch your lips forward when applying lipstick. After applying, you can put your index finger in your mouth and, slightly rounding your lips, pull it out. This method will remove excess lipstick from the inner surface of the lips.

Try to lick your lips less often, because this leads not only to the erasure of lipstick, but also to the drying of the lips, as well as the formation of cracks on them.
