Transparent lip pencil

The process of applying a full-fledged makeup has never been complete without the use of a lip pencil. Previously, such pencils were used only as a contour tool, but now their functions go far beyond - they serve as a contour, and a corrector, and a filler at the same time.

The difficulty in acquiring pencils was the correct selection of tone. It often happens that the shade of the contour tool does not match the shade of the lipstick. With the advent of transparent lip pencils, this problem has been solved. Almost every cosmetic company has released such a novelty in the line of lip products that immediately appealed to the female audience.

The choice of transparent contours in the cosmetic market is unimaginably large and continues to increase. Wooden with a traditional stylus, plastic with automatic dosing, matte and mother-of-pearl, expensive and budgetary - there are funds for every taste and for any purpose.

Mother-of-pearl pencils are used in make-up to create a light sheen effect. Thanks to sparkling microparticles, this tool gives the lips extra volume. But it should be remembered that the texture of the contour and lipstick should be the same: in the case of applying a mother-of-pearl contour, lipstick should also be mother-of-pearl and vice versa.The most successful use case is the selection of the so-called "tick" above the upper lip to correct the shape. Such a pearly transparent pencil was released by the company Eva, and the tool costs about 100 rubles.

As for matte transparent products, they are universal and not capricious at all. They can be used with any lipsticks and glosses, and sometimes just as a protective coating or an independent base.

Prices for such products start at 99 rubles from firms Avon and ciel and reach 1300-2000 Estee Lauder and Dior.
