| The composition of lipstick:
These days, lipsticks not only beautify but also take good care of the lips. As a rule, vitamins, nutritious moistening additives, adipose components and UV filters form the composition of almost all lipsticks in the mass-market. And, when you buy a good lipstick, you can be assured that the application of lipstick will not bring harm to the lips.
Selection of lipstick:
What is a good lipstick?
* It should not tie the lips and should not cause heaviness;
* The lipstick should be soft and can be easily applied on the lips and lie evenly;
* It should cause a pleasant fresh sensation on the lips;
* It should possess a pleasant smell;
* You should pay attention to the external appearance of the lipstick - its surface should be smooth without droplets and leaks;
* The lipstick should be firm;
* Under the sun, good lipstick should not melt like ice-cream.
During the selection of lipstick, remember that it should be sufficiently pigmented, i.e. - the lipstick should not be transparent. The lipstick should not spread and be too greasy, but however, it should not be too dry, which is able to dry your lips.
The selection of lipstick according to texture: matte, with gloss, pearly, glossy, lacquer, all depends on your make-up style, fashion and shape of the lips.
Pearly lipsticks with gloss and polish for lips are very popular these days. If you want your mouth looking chubby and sexual, it is better to use lipstick with a mild gloss. This gloss can be pearly or lacquered. You can select red or pink lipstick and apply gloss on top of it so that the mouth looks chubbier, more convex and urging. If you want your lips to look not so noticeable, then matt-finish lipsticks of dark shades can be used. The lighter the shade of the lipstick, the more gloss, the chubbier the lips are, and if the lipstick is of a dark shade and a matt-finish, the more the lips look bigger.
Where do you store lipstick?
Beautiful women of the Ancient Greece preferred to store lipsticks in small ornament decorated gold boxes. It was very convenient to mix poison in such boxes to poison an unlucky competitor. The lipstick was applied with the help of special sticks or directly from a jar using a finger.
The paternity of most popular cosmetic products in the world - lipsticks in a tube - belongs to the firm Guerlain. The appearance of the first lipstick in metal packing (in the USA, 1915) gave rise to a "lipstick boom" which continues till today. Why so? The answer is simple: It became convenient to use lipsticks.
The modern case for lipsticks is a no less valuable ornament than a ring or a bracelet. Apart from being a luxurious design it can also contain a small pocket-sized mirror or a brush.
A pencil-lipstick is very simple in application: several strokes are sufficient to outline and make up the lips and also, it can be used in combination with regular lipsticks and regular outlining pencils. Owing to thickness, it is convenient to hold in the hands and it is convenient to use them and keep in a handbag.
