Traditional make-up and modern special tools
To give your lips the desired shape and volume, you can use the classic rules of makeup.
- The color of the lipstick should be light. Its structure is glossy. Shiny light lips always look more voluminous than dark and matte ones.
- Before drawing the outline, apply a preparatory tonal base. For example, cream powder.
- Lip your lips with a pearly pencil or haylayterom. This will add extra volume, making them sculptured and convex.
- A clear contour must be carried out only over the upper lip, retreating beyond its limit no more than half a centimeter. The lower contour should be shaded, making a natural transition.
- The maximum effect of lip augmentation withmakeup can be achieved using a liquid shimmery. It is applied to lipstick or even instead of it. The most brilliant place on the lips should be in their center. A bright point can be put on lipstick of any color.
- Use special brushes for feathering. Draw contour lines with short strokes from the middle to the edges.
Modern cosmetics alsohelp to visually enlarge thin lips. Special glosses called “plumpers” give a short-lived, approximately two-hour effect of seductive swelling. They contain pepper, cinnamon, ginger or menthol. After application, the lips begin to tingle slightly, and they swell slightly, increasing in size. For those who are ready to go even further, there is another modern way to add extra volume to the lips. It balances on the edge of cosmetics and surgery. This is tattooing or permanent lip makeup. A special dye is injected under the skin with a thin needle. Then it is shaded. On average, tattooing lasts from three to five years. Then it fades and disappears. It can be combined with regular cosmetics. However, it is not suitable for everyone, as it has a number of medical contraindications.
