Sold in a variety of forms, lipstick is
a combination of emollients, such as oil or Vaseline, waxes and
pigment. It often includes additional things like aloe vera or vitamins
for moisture, sunscreen and an array of chemicals that are for
increasing the staying power, enriching the color or just making that
particular brand a more marketable product. More than half of the
lipstick in the United States contains castor oil, which forms a shiny
film when dry. Castor oil, when consumed in large quantities, can
produce illness, but is safe in lipstick.
Tipes
For applying the color, stretch the lips and starting at the center of
the lip and glide the color to the corners. Lip brushes help you to give
better finish to coloring your lips and avoid the application of excess
color. A quick way of applying lip color is to use the lipstick to stain
the bottom lip, press them together to transfer some of the color to the
upper lip and then use the angle tip of the sponge applicator to refine
lip edges. For more natural looks, you can try tips given below:
The beautiful raspberry stain can be obtained by applying the
berry color on the lips, blotting it with the tissue and then use
brush to apply a second coat of the lipstick.
The nude bare lip looks can be obtained by using neutral pink lip
color that matches your skin tone. Pale colored women can go for
light orange color with a pinkish tint while olive skin can use
brownish bronze shade. Avoid lip liners as you don't need the harsh
lines. Add clear gloss to the center of your lip and you are ready.
