Moisturizing lipstick

Beautiful and alluring lips are one of the most important details of a female image that can impress any man. In order for them to look beautiful and natural, simple makeup or eyeliner is not enough, because lips are a very sensitive and delicate area of ​​the face that requires special care.

Of course, choosing a lipstick is not so easy, because it is important to consider not only colors and shades, but also the overall quality and composition of cosmetics. Daily painting can have a bad effect on the lips due to the abundance of chemical components. That is why products with an additional protective and caring effect are gaining popularity.

Any decorative lipstick, even if it is a product with a pale and subtle shade, will look good on neat and well-groomed lips. Unfortunately, this part of the face is very sensitive and susceptible to all sorts of annoying external factors. Drying, peeling and cracks can appear under the influence of cold wind, sun, chemical components, which can even be part of cosmetics.

If you are familiar with these problems, then you should pay attention to moisturizing lipstick. This tool may look like your usual decorative lip cosmetics, but it has a lot of differences that make it so unique.

The first feature can be noticed immediately when using the tool. This lipstick differs in structure and consistency. It is softer and more oily than a cream or balm can resemble. Thanks to this, gentle care for the sponges is carried out, saturation with moisture is ensured. In addition, the light texture allows you to easily apply the product in a uniform, neat layer.

It is in the unique features that the main value of this unusual lipstick lies.

However, it is very easy to find a 2-in-1 lipstick that both colors lips and also provides them with additional nourishment, softening and protection against irritation.

It is worth noting that coloring moisturizing lipsticks have a serious drawback. Compared to classic decorative cosmetics, they have a lower resistance. If you use such a tool for daily makeup, then make sure that yours is not smeared. On the other hand, it will be much easier to remove if necessary.

Today, there are quite a few manufacturers of professional cosmetics that produce their own versions of moisturizing lip cosmetics. Of course, every major brand considers it its duty to develop its own technology that would make its products unique and indispensable. That is why it is quite difficult to understand in detail the composition of lip cosmetics, but it is simply necessary to pay attention to such a detail.

First of all, you should avoid low-quality lipstick, which is made by a manufacturer unknown to you, whose name is questionable.The fact is that for many cosmetics, a substance such as carmine can be used as a coloring component. It gives the lips a pink or red color and in itself is harmless to health. However, carmine can cause an acute allergic reaction, which is accompanied by swelling and rash.

Also, in addition to cheap synthetic paints, lipstick may contain low-quality unnatural oils or paraffin derivatives. Since lip care is done every day and these substances tend to accumulate in the body, it is best to avoid cheap and low-quality moisturizing lipsticks.

The standard composition for any normal lipstick, including hygienic lipstick, is represented by four main types of components: base, coloring pigments, additives and fragrances. Of course, if we are talking about specialized moisturizing lip cosmetics, then it can contain many more additional elements.

• As a basis, as a rule, natural waxes are used, which do not cause allergic reactions and are neutral for our body. To soften them, oils and some film-forming substances are added to preserve the structure and shape of the lipstick;
• One of the required components are also dyes, thanks to which such a “lip cream” turns into a familiar lipstick. In high-quality cosmetics, only natural pigments play the role of paint. In addition, many manufacturers also add UVF filters to them, which protect the lips from the harmful effects of sunlight;
• Perfumes are aromatic compounds. They are necessary so that the lipstick has a pleasant smell, and does not give off wax and other main elements of its composition. Very often, many popular manufacturers use neutral synthetic flavors, but you can always find an unusual moisturizing lipstick with a fruit scent;
• The most popular supplements are vitamins A and E. This complex has a very effective protective and nourishing effect. Vitamin E saturates the tissues of the lips and makes them more elastic, activates the natural processes of cell regeneration, and prevents premature aging. Group A vitamins, which can also be part of UV filters, contribute to better absorption of vitamin E, and also reduce flaking and inflammation of tissues;
• It may also contain natural oils. Quite often, olive, peach, coconut, avocado oil is used. They provide more gentle care, as well as the main moisturizing and nourishing effect of lipstick;
• As an additional anti-aging component, lecithin and lanolin can be found. These are fat-like soft substances that soften dry lips, eliminate peeling, and also form a protective film on the surface of the tissues.

The shelf life of moisturizing lipstick is practically no different from that of any similar cosmetic product. Be sure to pay attention to the date of manufacture before making a purchase. Expired lipstick is given out by white blotches, as well as an unpleasant or too sweet smell.

In general, lip moisturizer, whether coloring or not, should not be stored for more than three years. But this is only if it was stored in the refrigerator and applied with a special brush.If we are talking about lipstick, which is applied directly to the lips and is used from time to time, while always being in a handbag, then it should not be used for more than one year.

Today's technology for the manufacture of moisturizing lipstick allows you to combine its composition with standard coloring pigments. Thanks to this, the color palette for such a product is as large as for decorative cosmetics. In any specialized store, you can easily find something suitable, up to lipstick with a gloss effect.

It is not difficult to choose a color and shade. You can proceed from the general recommendations of professional makeup artists. So, for example, women with blond hair are better off choosing soft colors. They will suit lipstick peach, pale pink and other similar shades. But brunettes can choose something more saturated and dark, because for them it will be the most harmonious option.
