Women wear lipstick every day, but it's worth wondering if they're doing it right.
Firstly, you need to know that every woman’s lips have a special shape: “bow” lips, normal lips, asymmetrical and others.
Accordingly, depending on the shape of the lips, using gloss or lipstick, a woman can change the shape of her lips and emphasize their beauty.
Attention: the video is at the end of the material!
Lipstick is everything to us. Many people begin to paint their lips at the age of 13, or even earlier, and after that, even in old age, they do not leave the house with unpainted lips. However, most women apply lipstick out of habit, forgetting that lip makeup is an art and should be taken seriously. If you learn how to apply lipstick correctly, it will make your lips very beautiful.
Maybe you didn’t know, but it turns out that Marilyn Monroe had narrow lips, but everyone remembers her lovely mouth and lips in the shape of Cupid’s bow. Just these gorgeous lips were created with the help of proper lip makeup.
So, how to do lip makeup - step by step instructions.
1
Step one.Every day we do a small massage-peeling of our lips.
We remember that for lips to be soft and smooth, they need peeling. As a peeling, you can use a simple toothbrush(preferably soft, already used, not hard). In the morning, after you have brushed your teeth with another brush, take our lip brush, which you need to carefully remove all dead cells from the surface of your lips with gentle massaging movements. After this procedure, the lips become smooth.

Step two.
Apply foundation.
In order for lipstick to look beautiful on your lips and last all day, you need to know how to apply it correctly.
When applying foundation to your face, also apply it to your lips. This will help you apply the lipstick evenly in the future.

Step three.
Draw an outline.
You need to look at the shape of the lips and, based on this, draw the outline with a pencil. If you have normal lips, then use a pencil to draw dashed lines from the edges to the center. If the lips are asymmetrical, then the side that is smaller should be enlarged. If the lips are in a “bow”, then draw a pencil outline to decrease at the top or bottom, along the sides to increase. If the upper lip is larger than the lower lip, then the upper lip should be slightly reduced and the lower lip slightly enlarged. If the top one is smaller than the bottom one, then we slightly increase the top one and, accordingly, decrease the bottom one.
In this case, the pencil should match the color of the lipstick, or be a tone darker than it.

Step four.
Painting lips with lipstick.
Lipstick should be applied with a brush. This way it will lie flat and last longer. Lipstick should be applied from the tips of the lips to the center. If you want your lips to look plumper and more erotic, then the middle of your lips can be painted with gloss.
How to choose the right lipstick color?
Remember the main thing: choose the right lipstick color to match your skin tone. If the tone is of the “cold” type, then you should choose cool lipstick colors (pale pink, pearl, colors that do not contain a golden hue). If your skin tone is of the “warm” type, then they will suit warm colors(brown, peach, golden, terracotta, etc.).
Generally speaking, red lipstick colors suit all women. But if you want to decide on your lipstick color more carefully, then you must determine what type of appearance you have.
There are only four types:
"Spring" (warm) always blonde hair prone to golden yellow (the color of ripe wheat), the light in the hair is golden (yellow). Lipstick shades for this type: soft pink, peach, and various shades red from coral color and to brick.
"Summer" is a type of appearance when the hair color ranges from light to brown, with ashy shade, or pure white hair color. Lipstick shades for this type of appearance: rosewood, purple color, fuchsia will look good.
"Autumn" is a type of appearance with bright red hair. If the hair is not red, then in this case it must be present Orange color in the hair. Shades of lipstick for this type of appearance: copper or golden, also dark brown, all shades of warm red and pearlescent color.
"Winter" - type of appearance of "Snow White": bright skin, dark, often even black hair. They range from brown to blue-black. If the skin of such a girl beige colour, this will already be an “exotic” winter. Eyebrows and eyes are usually bright and expressive on the face. Lipstick shades for this type: all colors are cool pinks, as well as cool reds.

Lipstick is a cosmetic product whose purpose is to color, moisturize and protect lips from wind and sun. Girls use cosmetics as a way to highlight their assets. How to apply lipstick to look natural?
The makeup of the fair half of humanity causes a lot of controversy. One category believes that the best option– natural beauty, others assure that colorful makeup is sexy and attractive. Learning how to properly paint your lips is an art that requires perseverance and creativity.
Following the technique is a small percentage of success. If you choose the color incorrectly, your face will look “old.” The diversity of the palette makes it possible to experiment and look impressive after a hard day at work. The combination of lipstick tone and skin color is important. Cool shades will suit fair-skinned ladies. As for hair color, a range from light pink to plum is recommended for blondes.
Brunettes should take a closer look at bright examples. They will suit brown and peach tones. The following lipsticks are suitable for girls:
Blonde:
For brown-haired and red-haired women:
A rich palette of colors will suit brunettes.
The color of your eyes and eyebrows is a criterion for choosing a lipstick tone. Dark-eyed beauties will be transformed by scarlet and brown shades. Beige and cherry shades emphasize the expressiveness of gray eyes.
Makeup artists and cosmetologists advise not to forget about age when buying lipstick:
Let's look step by step at how to use simple techniques to hide imperfections (small or large mouth) at home.
Professionals advise choosing pearlescent, saturated, shape-enhancing colors. Avoid glitter flesh tones. For visual increase volume slightly exceed the contour boundary.
The second way to enlarge narrow lips is to draw their contours, shading them with a pencil (there is no need to paint over the central part). Afterwards lipstick is applied on top. The center is covered with gloss 1.5 shades lighter. This will make your lips appear larger in photos and in the mirror.
If nature endowed a woman plump lips, there are no difficulties when applying makeup. It is possible to visually make your lips smaller: paint the lip area thick foundation, concealer. Remove the remains with a napkin. Glitter will emphasize the swelling, use matte tones.
In case of asymmetry, makeup artists and cosmetologists resort to the following tricks. Apply to part of the smaller lip foundation. Further using thin pencil a new contour is drawn (followed by applying a layer of lipstick) and the corners of the mouth are raised. To make the pigment last a long time, powder the top layer and it will not rub off.
Clean your lips with specialized milk and apply cream. After half a minute it will be absorbed. Using a pencil close to the natural color, draw the outline of the desired shape. Blend it out cotton swab, brush or finger.
When applying lipstick, use a tube or brush. Make-up experts say that if you apply the product with a brush, it will last longer. Start applying color from the center of your lips, spreading the product outward and upward. The application is completed by tracing the contours.
The brush allows you to mix tones and create new ones. You can add dry or liquid shadows to the palette for thematic makeup.
It is preferable to paint small areas with a brush to ensure perfect makeup. If roughness appears, take a corrector and a brush, and then draw a strict line.
For rich dark cosmetic product(when you want to wear pink or red lipstick) make a background. The rich shade attracts attention; imperfections will be obvious. Use concealers and makeup base to achieve flawless color and tone. Slowly paint your lips from the corners to the center, then apply the 2nd layer.
Remove peeling with a toothbrush or scrub: massage gently delicate skin. The look will be fresh and rosy.
When applying light-colored lipstick, do not apply the product generously - it will give the impression of foundation on the lips. Such cosmetics are not suitable for blondes with light skin.
Choose a pencil for the contour that is the same color as your lipstick, or a little darker. Start drawing the line with a firm hand from the center upper lip, carefully moving to the corners, and bring the bottom one. To achieve rich and bright color must be painted with a pencil and liner. This achieves a natural (almost invisible) transition between pencil and lipstick. Additional volume can be achieved by painting the contour strip 3-4 mm further than the natural line. Long-lasting contouring eyeliner is not recommended for women with full lips. There is no point in letting them down. For correction, use a foundation.
Tattooing is suitable for girls who do not have a lot of time to draw on their lips every day; it will last for several years. Black henna tattooing is not used for this type of makeup.
Why does lipstick crease? This does not depend on price or brand. Try applying foundation to your lips first, then powdering them, then applying the product. The problem of cosmetics rolling and spreading may be due to increased acidity or due to the presence of herpes.
Try applying hygienic lipstick, then light powder, and lastly pigment. Makeup will last until the evening. Salon or home peeling. Once a month, exfoliate the epithelium with a scrub, then lubricate the delicate skin with balm. Don't forget to remove lipstick before going to bed using special means or cosmetic milk- Soap can dry out the skin.
Not only a master makeup artist can paint lips beautifully and brightly; it’s not at all difficult to learn. The main thing is to follow the advice of professionals step by step and avoid low-quality dyes.
Today we are witnessing a real blossoming of femininity. Androgynous images are a thing of the past, and now female healthy beauty is in trend - this rounded shapes, toned body, bright facial features, full, inviting lips. The notorious forms and an expressive face with full lips are not given to everyone, but women never despair in their desire to achieve the next ideal. They have been faking hair color, breast size for thousands of years, and they have also been very successful in how to put on lipstick to make them appear plump.
No cosmetics, even the most silky texture, will lie beautifully and evenly on dry, chapped lips. Therefore, you need to constantly pamper your mouth with scrubs, peels and moisturizing balms that will remove dead particles and make the skin soft.
Before directly applying lipstick, be sure to moisturize your lips - apply a drop of balm to them.
When the balm is absorbed, apply the base. For this, a regular foundation is suitable, which will fill all the folds and even out the surface. Gently apply it using a sponge and let it soak in for 10 minutes.
Instead of a base, you can try a couple of drops essential oil cinnamon. A thin layer of powder on top of the base will add volume. All these manipulations will allow the makeup to last longer and prevent the lipstick from “running.”
So, how to apply lipstick to make them appear plump? Photo step by step makeup later in this article.
Rule one: a contour pencil is required for volume.
Many young ladies repeat a common mistake: they outline the contour very dark color or they don’t paint over their lips with a pencil, and then, in horror when they see a face a la “Kuklachev” in the mirror, they swear off experimenting with makeup in the future.
Therefore, choose a pencil that is the same shade as your lipstick, or one shade darker. Roll it in your palms to warm it up and it will lie smoother. To begin, place points - the middle of the upper and lower lips, the corners of the mouth, and mark the V-points of the bend. Start from the top line. To get a seductive plump mouth, you need a stroke slightly higher than the natural contour, but no more than one or two millimeters.
After you have outlined the outline, fill in the inner area of your lips with short pencil strokes, then the boundaries of the pencil line and lipstick will not be noticeable.
Some makeup artists shade already painted lips with vertical pencil strokes, from top to bottom, and then the cosmetics last longer. However, this method requires professional skill, so it is better to use it when you have mastered the first one.
Rule two: use a lipstick brush.
A special small brush will carefully paint all areas, fill all the cracks, and it is also more convenient for mixing different shades and then shading them. You need to paint from the center to the edges.
If you have chosen bright makeup, paint the lips a little from the inside too, so that the line between the lipstick and the oral mucosa is not noticeable.
When the first coat is applied, you need to blot your mouth with a napkin, powder again and paint a second time.
For creating full lips Makeup artists advise using cosmetics in different shades of the same color. Usually more dark tone applied to the upper sponge and to the edges of the lower one, while the center of the lower one is painted over with a lighter tone. Carefully retouch the result, and the lips will become fuller and more sculpted.
To get lips like Angelina Jolie’s, in other words, plump and sculpted, highlights are done with light lipstick. Apply one stroke in the center on the upper lip, and two strokes on the lower lip, at a short distance from each other. Blend the highlights, but don’t try too hard, they should remain noticeable.
Many people know the unpleasant by-effect bright lipstick when it imprints on your teeth. To prevent this from happening, blot off any excess makeup with a napkin. Just hold the edge between your teeth and lightly touch the napkin with your lips.
Mother-of-pearl shine with reflective particles will be the finishing touch of your work. For daytime look Apply gloss only to the middle of the lower lip, and just a little, because multi-layered and bulky makeup with glitter during the day can make your face look vulgar. But you can’t feel sorry for him for evening makeup, in the light of the lamps it will shine and attract attention. Your lips will feel incredibly sensual if you apply gloss to the V-zone.
The fashion trend is to go under the knife plastic surgeon and pumping up lips with fillers leads to girls losing their individuality. But you can achieve seductive lips without radical and not always safe measures. Just take proper care of them and study the tips of makeup artists on makeup. For example, Naomi Watts and Kate Winslet do not have natural full lips, but with the help of pencil, lipstick and gloss they make them plumper and more expressive, while looking much more aesthetically pleasing than Instagram girls with a frozen duckface on their face.
Once you master the secrets of makeup and know how to apply lipstick to make them appear plump, you won't have to go through painful procedures at a cosmetologist, have complexes due to thin lips or their irregular shape. You can easily highlight their advantages and hide their shortcomings.
There are no trifles in makeup, and perfect image depends on observing all the finest nuances. For example, it is impossible to achieve a perfect lip line using only one lipstick. At a minimum, you will need powder, gloss, concealer, highlighter, and most importantly, a lip liner.

Why? Lip pencil in makeup plays the role of a kind of gray eminence (in our case, very colored) - it is completely unnoticeable, but it is the one that plays the leading role. Let's figure out how to use a lip pencil correctly, and also look at this season's trendy make-up of coloring lips with a pencil instead of lipstick.
Let's start with the basics - let's get acquainted with the basic rules of how to choose a lip pencil. Let's make a reservation right away - we will not consider brands and variations of pencils, their texture and quality characteristics, we are only interested in the direct selection of a pencil for general makeup lips

So, when choosing pencils for lip contour, pay attention to the following points:
On a note
The main thing in a lip contour pencil, in addition to its pigment, is the thin, pointed rod. Don't go for soft texture. As a rule, excessively soft pencils, when applied to the lips, very quickly lose their pigment, and quickly wear off, even after a single application, and lose the fineness of the line. On the contrary, a moderately hard pencil is more resistant to abrasion and loss of pigment. Well, to make the pencil easier to apply, just warm it up in your palms for 1 - 2 minutes.
That's all the recommendations for choosing contour pencil for lips. As a result, your cosmetic bag should have a small set of contour pencils - colored, matching the tone of your lipsticks, nude - to create everyday makeup, and white, necessary to give sensual volume.
Now let's proceed to the most important step in performing lip makeup - how to apply lip pencil to highlight the contour.

Let's start with the fact that many Internet portals dedicated to makeup offer two variations of lip coloring with a pencil - to increase the volume of the lips, and to reduce it. So, a contour pencil is used, first of all, to highlight the contour of the lips, and therefore their volume. In other words, using a pencil you should either emphasize the natural beauty of your lips or correct imperfections. But it is never used to reduce volume, because latest trends fashions are aimed specifically at creating volume.

So, the rules for lining your lips with a pencil:
You can create an “artificial” lip contour only on flat areas (this is the middle zone between the central part of the lips and their corners). Under no circumstances go beyond the natural boundaries in areas of volume (corners and central part of the lips), in these areas the unnaturalness of the volume will be clearly evident.
So, we got acquainted with the rules of applying lip pencil, and now let's look at how to properly line your lips with a pencil, namely its technical side.

At the beginning, we already mentioned the need for a sharpened pencil. This is necessary to create straight line. But what if the line turns out to be shaky and asymmetrical? There is a little trick. Draw only the center and corners, apply thin strokes to the rest of the area. Moreover, the lines should not only be thin, but not too bright. It is better to add 1 - 2 more light contours on top of the initial strokes. This way you will achieve smooth lines.
More experienced “users” of the tool can draw lines in one movement, but the “route” of drawing will be the same - connecting the initially designated center and corners.
We looked at a variation of the “correct” lip coloring - with a pencil and lipstick. We won’t be surprised if many of our readers have a question: is it possible to paint your lips with a pencil without lipstick? Answering this question, we will say - it is possible, and even necessary, because this season the option of matte lips is relevant. A similar effect can be achieved using the now fashionable matte lipstick, or you can also use a pencil, or rather two pencils.

Let's look at how to make up your lips beautifully with a pencil.
First, you need to choose two shades of pencils for the contour of your lips. It is advisable that they do not differ much in tone, a maximum of 2 tones. Now let's start the procedure.
Remember that you could paint your lips with a lip pencil if you used a darker outline and light lipstick? So, the procedure for how to paint lips with a pencil is almost the same: we draw a contour more dark shade and go a little to the central part of the lips. Then, instead of lipstick, take a pencil light shade and apply it to the surface of the lips and blend everything thoroughly.
If you decide to create a fashionable matte lip makeup using pencils, then in this case turn your attention to soft pencils. They contain emollients. Hard pencils will not allow you to achieve high-quality shading and will dry out your lip skin.
Well, so that your lips don’t seem completely lifeless, apply a little gloss – glossy or pearlescent – to their central part. All - fashionable option makeup with matte lips is ready.
To consolidate the theory, it is worth watching a video where the rules for coloring lips with a pencil will be presented in detail, and most importantly, clearly.
In conclusion, I would like to note that the rules and recommendations presented in the review are not dogma. We only talked about current trends, but you can decide how you will create your image, depending on your own views, preferences and... desire to shock others. Good luck with your experiments.

Light beige and cherry shades highlight the depth of gray eyes.
Makeup artists recommend taking age into account when choosing lipstick. For young girls, it is best to give preference to light pearlescent glosses. Thick and matte ones add solidity to the image, which looks out of place in this case.
For women who are about thirty years old, it is appropriate to wear bright makeup. Satin and satin texture will emphasize youth and freshness of the skin. Women over forty don't have to choose pearlescent glosses. Bright shades also inappropriate because they highlight wrinkles around the mouth. Perfect fit mature women cherry and plum shades.
Advice! If you chose not correct tone lipstick, don’t rush to throw it away. Perhaps if you mix it with another shade, you can get the perfect tone for you.
Lipstick adds shine and beauty to makeup, but from a functional point of view, you can’t do without a pencil. It can be found in any cosmetics store. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the fact that the pencil is waterproof.
Lip liner is also used as a base for lipstick to make it last longer. In this case, you need to mark the outline and shade the line inward, gradually shading the surface. Do not apply the pencil under the glitter, because there is a risk of the color pigment peeling off, which collects in the folds and looks ridiculous.
