Long-lasting lipsticks keep your lips vibrant all day long. The lack of adjustment and the confidence that the lipstick will not curl and clog into small folds captivates many women. Such a desirable means of long-term action can be considered lipstick-marker from Avon.

Peculiarities

Avon is a popular manufacturer of decorative and care cosmetics with a good reputation. In Russia, his story began in 1995 and, apparently, is not going to end. Thousands of new developments in lipstick formulations and more are thoroughly tested in the "Global Research and Development Center" owned by the brand.

lipstick marker "Watercolor" can be considered the fruit of a long and well-established work of specialists of all levels, as well as designers who worked on the unique structure of the product. The appearance of the lipstick resembles a marker, and even with a lead. The latter is soft and velvety, without any roughness or villi. Otherwise, the design does not contradict the motto of restraint from Avon. A black plastic tube with a bright tip - minimalism and a delicate sense of taste, proven over decades.

The manufacturer speaks of the lipstick itself as an advanced development from Germany. The marker not only mattly covers the lips, but is also a tint, that is, a persistent coloring pigment.It does not leave the lips for 7 hours, does not imprint on surfaces and does not spread to the corners.

Today, seven stylish marker shades have been released - both nude and very saturated tones.

Compound

The composition of lipstick can hardly be called natural, because tints require special durability. Natural components, unfortunately, are not able to provide proper durability. Wanting to get the perfect color, many ladies are content with chemical ingredients.

In the first place is water, the second is propylene glycol. This component with a complex name is a dihydric alcohol, which, even in small quantities, can cause irritation. If you remember that he is in the second place in the lipstick-marker, then it is better for girls with sensitive skin to forget about him. The propylene glycol in the lipstick creates a smooth oily layer on the skin, giving a youthful look. However, according to scientists, it displaces useful components from the thin skin of the lips.

Ethyl alcohol is in third place. Its presence here is quite understandable, because it has volatile properties and allows you to absorb coloring pigments into the skin with maximum speed. For tints, this is really important. The downside of its use in formulations is dry skin, because alcohol has a drying effect, which is very harmful for the delicate epidermis of the lips with some problems and lack of nutrition. At the same time, the manufacturer honestly states that it is highly not recommended to use a marker lipstick for chapped skin.

Another chemical component of PEG-30 is an emulsifier that connects various liquids in the formulation. Its presence is a must. It is worth noting that it consists of glycerin and vegetable fats, which is why it is considered as soft and safe as possible for the epidermis.A little further on you can see another gentle emulsifier called glyceryl stearate.

The middle of the list is occupied by glycerin, known to everyone. It covers the skin with a protective film and is an effective means of retaining natural moisture. Glycerin to some extent neutralizes the alcohol composition of the Aquarelle lipstick marker.

Chemical skin care does not end there. In the composition you can see polyvinylpyrrolidone - a polymer that has a lifting effect on the epidermis. Further in the lipstick is a list of a few more alcohols. The list of components is completed with dyes acceptable in cosmetology.

Concluding, we can say with absolute certainty that the marker is able to dry out the lips and make them vulnerable. At the same time, the manufacturer does not promise customers anything, only a lasting color. And alcohols cope with this function first-class.

A compromise here can be the sharing of a marker with a nourishing balm that neutralizes the negative effects of application on the lips.

Best before date

lipstick marker Avon "Ultra Color" has a maximum shelf life of three years. Antibacterial components in the composition prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms, making the use of the product safe for health.

Palette

The colors of the lipstick-marker combine calm and bright shades. A single layer application allows you to create a natural make-up, two or more layers provide a bright accent on the lips.

Calm nude tones include:

  • "Coral" - pink shade with subtle notes of peach. Depending on the natural shade, coral can look like a pure pink tone on bright lips - and fade to calm when applied to pale blonde lips.
  • "Nut" - Refers to nude brown tones. Has a milk chocolate undertone.

Bright colors in the palette:

  • "flamingo" - rich reddish-scarlet tone;
  • "freesia" - pink-plum shade;
  • "fuchsia" - cold lilac color;
  • "raspberry" - red tint with pink undertones;
  • "Strawberry" - scarlet tone, gently turning into burgundy.

It is worth saying that each of the components of such a diverse palette has a matte surface without the use of a shimmer. The gloss effect can only be achieved with the additional use of gloss or balm for the epidermis of the sensitive area of ​​the face.

How to choose a shade?

brand Avon positions itself as a brand that sells only through catalogs. Unfortunately, paper can rarely convey all the subtleties of color, and the natural tone of the lips plays a very important role. It is easy to make a mistake in color here, and therefore it is important to remember a few key selection rules.

So, the first way to determine the tone can be age. Young girls will like light tones (coral, fuchsia or raspberry). Older ladies can decorate with a dark tone - for example, walnut or strawberry. The division here, to be sure, is very generalized, but still it is worth keeping it in mind and combining it with other methods of definition.

Speaking of other methods, it is impossible not to note the universal method for skin tone. The tone can be cold and warm. In the first case, saturated cold tones are perfect, in "Watercolors" in their quality are fuchsia and freesia. "Warm" girls will be decorated with burgundy and brown tones - for example, walnut and strawberry. A flamingo with warm orange tones can also suit a warm undertone, but it is extremely difficult to call a color universal.

Using this method is easy and effective, but the correct undertone must be correctly determined. To do this, you can contact a makeup artist, or you can purchase gold and silver foil and conduct an experiment at home. Good lighting and silver foil will make cold skin tone glow and shine, gold foil will quickly brighten up warm skin when applied to the face.

Careful attention to hair color is necessary. Blondes will become even more tender with a pink shade of lipstick, redheads with coral and red-red, burning brunettes will fully appreciate the wine deep tones.

Such simple rules will allow you to choose the right tone from the catalog, minimizing the risk of missing the color. I would also like to note the factor of the low cost of lipsticks from Avon, which allows you to order several tones and experiment in search of the perfect color.

How to apply?

Apply lipstick-marker on cleansed and dry skin. A marker with a precise applicator allows you to cover the lips without going beyond their borders. The lips are outlined in the first stage, the remaining space is covered in the second.

After a thorough coating on the lips, it is recommended to apply any nourishing agent that gives a natural shine. It can be a transparent gloss, as well as hygienic lipstick or balm. According to users, the durability of the tint increases from this.

Reviews

Reviews about lipstick-marker "Watercolor" divided into two opposing camps. Ladies note a really persistent application. The tool is able to hold out for more than one hour in an unchanged state. Pleases users, and especially their men, the lack of a print effect on any surface - from the partner's lips to the edge of the cup. In addition, some use "Watercolor", replacing the contour pencil.

The contours created by the marker deserve special attention. Owners of lipstick compare the effect of applying with a tattoo. The lead is accurate, it is convenient to pull it out, and this cannot but affect the accuracy of the coating.

Opponents of lipstick note dryness and an unpleasant alcohol smell. They are not happy with the rolling of lipstick into folds. The color palette, according to users, is very distorted in the catalog, and each new color is a surprise - and sometimes not the most pleasant.
