I can't wait to buy lipstick now, but I found various problems after buying it. So, what should you pay attention to when buying lipstick? Next, I will tell you what you need to pay attention to when buying lipstick.

Precautions for choosing lipstick Step 1: Choose the color that suits you. Many people are always hesitant to buy lipstick and don't know what color to buy. The easiest way is to try the color of lipstick in two or more counters of different brands, because different makeup artists will recommend different colors, so that you can know which color you are more suitable for by comparison.

Step 2: lipstick does not touch the cup: I personally care about touching the cup when buying lipstick. I painted a very beautiful makeup and dared not drink water on a very formal occasion. It's troublesome, so I need to try it myself.

The third step: the moisturizing degree of lipstick is better: the moisturizing degree of a good lipstick lasts about 6 hours, and the longer the time, the higher the comfort of lips. If the moisturizing degree is not enough, the lips will feel dry in about 3 hours, and there will be a feeling of peeling. This will have to be polished.

The fourth step: the color rendering of lipstick is better: the color rendering of lipstick with good moisture is not necessarily good, and it takes some luck to choose both. Of course, the color rendering is good, and the colors are full and bright, especially pink and big red. These two colors are the favorite colors in every girl's collection, but if we can choose very positive colors, we need to try more.

Step 5: Try before you buy: I personally think it is necessary to try lipstick. When I go shopping, I will try on the color of lipstick at the counter first. The makeup artist in the general counter will try it on for you enthusiastically. After I try on my makeup, I go shopping first. After shopping, I will basically understand the color and moisturizing degree of lipstick, and then decide whether to buy it myself.

Don't have too many colors of your own lipstick: mainly life makeup. Investing in a good lipstick is also a big expense. Of course, there are not many colors you can control in your life and work. Therefore, it is usually recommended to invest in the most classic color that suits you, which not only makes the best use of it, but also saves your time in makeup.

The most important point in choosing lipstick is that it takes a lot of energy to choose a color according to your own characteristics, that is, age, skin color, clothing changes and different occasions. It takes a lot of effort to do this perfectly, but the simple method is also easy to master, mainly paying attention to the following principles:

Generally speaking, older and darker professional women and office workers should choose darker lipstick; Women who are very young, fair-skinned, or often go out in a relaxed outdoor environment can choose brighter colors; If you attend a special occasion, such as a dance or a friend's family dinner, you can treat it separately according to the special circumstances. Therefore, women with ordinary conditions can meet the needs of different periods by keeping two colors of lipstick.

Secondly, after selecting the color, we must pay attention to whether the quality of the selected lipstick is up to standard. On the surface, the qualified lipstick is smooth without pores, reaching certain standards of heat and cold resistance, and will not bend and soften. Even if the outdoor temperature is low, it can be used at room temperature for several minutes. However, the lipstick with poor quality has irregular surface, slight swelling and paste sweating. Therefore, when you choose lipstick, don't ignore its packaging and bottom label. Whether it is hardcover or paperback, the date of production, production license number, shelf life and manufacturer on the label are clearly identifiable. Generally, lipsticks sold in regular shopping malls pay more attention to purchase control. Products must pass the commodity inspection and inspection of the municipal health and epidemic prevention station, so they are more assured when buying, while products sold in stalls are not safe.

Furthermore, consumers must choose goods according to their consumption level. There are high, medium and low-grade lipsticks on the market, but the quality of lipsticks is not proportional to the price. There are many factors that affect the price: for example, the high price of imported lipstick is due to tax; Due to different prices, such as plastic packaging and brand influence, the price of domestic lipstick ranges from several yuan to several hundred yuan. Consumers must not blindly pursue famous brands, or judge the pros and cons by the price level, mainly on the basis of doing the first two steps, and do what they can.

Usage of lipstick First of all, be sure to clean your lips before applying lipstick, and then apply a layer of moisturizing lipstick or anti-crack cream to protect your lips from cracking and make up better. Foundation cream or masking cream covers the outline of lips.

Secondly, draw an ideal outline with a lip liner pen, and naturally relax your lips, so that you can better observe the shape of the lip liner. Draw in the order of upper lip and lower lip. When drawing lips, close your mouth and draw from the center to both sides. The lower lip line is drawn from both sides to the center. If you don't want to highlight the lip shape, you can also not draw the lip line. Hold lipstick or lipstick-coated lip brush with your thumb and forefinger, and press your little finger on your chin to fix and support your hand. Draw the center of the lip mountain and the lower lip to determine the thickness of the lip.

Then, apply it to the lips from the corners on both sides of the upper lip, and then apply it to the lips from the corners on both sides of the lower lip. At this time, the lips are slightly opened to draw more perfect lines. Pay attention to the balance between the left and right. After painting the outside, gradually paint the inside until it is completely painted. Gently press your lips with a tissue to remove excess grease. When pressing, slightly open your lips, and the effect can reach the inside of your lips. Apply bright lipstick or silver lipstick, focusing on the center of the lips to make the lips fuller.

Effect of lipstick instead of eye shadow

When you make up backstage, sometimes you can't find eye shadow of the same color, so the makeup artist will use lipstick instead, which is also a kind of salvation. If you don't have the right eye shadow, you need "emergency" at some point. Use lipstick as eye shadow, and it is best to use special eye cream or eye liquid foundation before makeup. The eye makeup effect is good, so don't worry about the color caking of lipstick. The lipstick oil is too greasy for eyes. It is more convenient for people with double eyelids to use lipstick as eye shadow. Just dip it in a little with a brush, just like you usually paint eye shadow, and add it between and above your eyelids. The color near the eyelashes can be heavier, and then gradually transition to lighter. You can't use hand color in this step, otherwise it is easy to cause uneven color and debris. If it is a single eyelid, it should be noted that lipstick can only be applied to the head and tail of the eyes, not in the middle, otherwise it will appear puffy eyes and the overall makeup effect is not good.

Substitute rouge

Making rouge with lipstick is also a familiar "other effect" of lipstick. Perhaps many people have had similar experiences in making rouge with lipstick, but most of them ended in poor results, and repeated failures are still unknown. Professional makeup artists tell us that the most important thing is to control the dosage, not too much, just a little, not enough, otherwise it will be too heavy and it will be very troublesome to make up makeup. First of all, apply lipstick to the protruding part under the thumb root, rub it slightly, heat the lipstick through the temperature of the palm, then press it on the panel with the cheekbone as the center and faint to both sides, so that drawing outward will make the face look more contoured. If you want your face to look round, you can press it in the smile muscle of risorius * * * on your face, which will be more round and lovely.

Decorative outline

Modifying facial contour with lipstick is a "secret skill" of makeup artists, which can make the face look smaller and more three-dimensional. Color * * * It is best to choose dark brown lipstick, which is why many professional brands have "non-red" lipsticks on the counter, and these lipsticks can still play this role * * *. Molding with lipstick is actually more decorative than using powder, and the color is soft, not too deep and obvious. After clicking the upper lip red with a brush, first apply it to the corners of the mouth from the hairline of the cheekbones to outline the effect of the little face. The color can be gradually deepened. Pay attention to the area, don't brush too much at a time.
