Let's analyze in order the advantages and disadvantages of the lipstick "Ultra Beauty", as well as the features of its application.

• Lipstick "Ultra Beauty" has a satin finish, so it lies well on the lips and retains color even in extreme conditions (heat, wind, frost, etc.). The lipstick does not form pills in the corners of the mouth, does not spread beyond the lips, does not have an unpleasant synthetic aftertaste, which is typical for many other products of well-known cosmetic brands. It does not create an unpleasant feeling of stickiness. In general, it is absolutely comfortable to use.

• The bottle is very easy to use. It does not have any unnecessary details that could complicate the application procedure.The rod is well fixed, so when it is driven over the lips, it does not "hide" back.
• All basic shades of the "Ultra Beauty" palette look equally bright both in natural light and in artificial light. Another important advantage of lipstick is an extremely modest price, especially if you buy it on sale.

It's no secret that the most important thing in choosing a lipstick is finding your color. Here it is important to consider everything:

• type of appearance (color of hair, eyes, skin, etc.);
• lighting (artificial or natural);
• age category of a woman;
• individual characteristics of the lips (size, shape);
• type of makeup (solemn evening or light everyday).

All shades of lipsticks can be conditionally divided into three categories: light, medium brightness and dark.

• Girls with swarthy skin are suitable for chocolate, purple, red and beige shades.
• For owners of fair skin, pink and coffee shades are a good choice.
• Blonde girls with blue or green eyes are suitable for shades of pink, purple and terracotta. They need to use saturated colors with care.
• For fair-haired girls with dark eyes, pale pink lipsticks or light shades of red are suitable.

• Blondes with swarthy or tanned skin are recommended to use coffee or golden colors.
• Owners of red curls are perfect for plum, scarlet and coffee shades. Rich pink and orange shades are not combined with this type of appearance.
• Girls with dark blond hair and peach skin are great for all shades of pink, lilac chocolate and coffee.
• Dark-haired ladies with peach or cream skin and light eyes go with scarlet and cherry lipsticks, and dark brown and red-red shades are more suitable for dark-skinned brunettes with dark eyes.

Pay attention to the fact that glossy lipsticks expose all the defects and irregularities on the lips, as well as visually increase them. Therefore, girls with large lips are better off using products with a matte texture.

Light colors are suitable for young girls, juicy shades for women under 40, more mature women are advised to paint their lips with dark colors, but not too defiant.

It seems that there is nothing tricky in the technique of using lipstick. However, there are some subtleties in this matter.

Use the tips below and your lips will always look perfect.

• In order for the color to be applied to the lips as evenly as possible, they must be "cleaned" of peeling. For this manipulation, a clean brush from ordinary mascara is best suited. It is necessary to apply a little balm to the lips, and then walk over them with a brush.

• To gently apply a rich color lipstick on the lips, you can use a thin concealer brush. And in order to create a kind of careless effect on the lips, you need to go over the layer of lipstick with a brush for applying eye shadow.
• To make lipstick stay on your lips twice as long, you need to powder them through a paper towel.

• If your lips are a lilac red or hot pink natural color, then it is better to apply a little concealer before applying lipstick. Thanks to this simple manipulation, the color on the lips will not be distorted.
• In order to eliminate the risk of smearing, use a blotter before applying to remove excess fat from the lips.
