Varieties of lip pencils

There are several types of tools for drawing a contour. The difference is not only in appearance or shade, but in the composition of the ingredients, in the texture and volume of the stylus. Therefore, before buying, each girl needs to have an idea about the quality characteristics of such a product. Thanks to the widest range of pencils, every girl will find the right tool for lipstick or gloss of any color. It is better to choose a contour tool among the products of well-known cosmetic brands, since companies that value their reputation produce only a quality product.

Classic wooden products with lead are made from resins and beeswax. Therefore, the texture of such a stick is soft, and the shade is uniform. The main advantage of such a circuit is its low consumption and the possibility of sharpening. This allows them to draw a fine line. The quality of the wood that is used for the back of the pencil also matters. The softer the wood, the more pleasant the product to use. The disadvantage of such a contour is the fragility of the stylus itself.

In instruments made of plastic with an automatic mechanism, the staining stick is enclosed in a thin tube. This lead has a softer, lipstick-like texture and is more convenient to use than the traditional version. It does not need constant sharpening, but this is where its main drawback lies - with the help of such a tool it is very difficult to draw a line of small thickness. In addition, you can not unscrew the lead too much without the risk of breaking it.

Depending on the color scheme, the classification is as follows:

• Colored contours have excellent pigmentation and give a long-lasting effect. In some cases, colored pencils can replace lipstick. They make out not only the contour of the mouth, but also paint over the lips over the entire surface. To complete the make-up, gloss is applied on top.
• Nude pencils can come in several nude shades, but light brown pencils are especially popular. To visually change the outlines of the lips, beige contours are used.
• There are also white pencils. They are most often found in the arsenal of professional makeup artists and are used to get volume on the lips. Their texture is not matte, the stylus contains tiny particles of shimmer that scatter the incoming light and soften the boundaries of the contour. Such a pencil is often used to emphasize the upper part of the mouth and obtain a seductive contour.
• Colorless products are necessary to fix the lipstick and prevent it from spreading.

Cosmetic contours with silicone are outwardly similar to colorless ones, but they have a completely different purpose. The stylus of such a product contains a lot of natural resins, beeswax, and silicones. Therefore, it perfectly fills all the bumps and is recommended for the make-up of ladies of mature age. This contour gives the lips smoothness, makes them younger and more voluminous.

Permanent contours are recommended for women who have little time to touch up makeup. The stylus of such a product is hard, so the pigment is applied with some effort. It lasts a long time, but to remove it, you need to use a special milk or micellar water.

Lipstick pencil is easy to apply, it has good durability. Such a product will not be able to draw an even and thin line, since its stylus is voluminous and relatively soft. After applying it, you do not need to use additional lipstick.

What to look for when buying

You need to choose a contour pencil according to your needs and preferences, but first of all, you should consider the hardness of the coloring stick and the saturation of the pigment. To assess these qualities, you need to make a few strokes on the back of the hand with the selected tool.

Soft pencils are easy to apply, but they spread very easily and often ruin makeup at the most crucial moment. If the lead is hard, then the color fastness will be better. In addition, such a tool holds lipstick well. But for girls with sensitive lips, such a pencil can dry out the skin.

If you do not want to sharpen your pencil all the time, you should give preference to automatic products with a retractable stick. Choosing such a circuit, you should carefully inspect the mechanism. Often low-quality automatic pencils break quickly.

The shade of the contour should be in harmony with the color of the lipstick. Therefore, for girls who prefer natural makeup, pastel or colorless pencils are more suitable. With such contours, you get an excellent natural or nude make-up. If not lipstick is used more often, but gloss, then products with silicone or pencils of a neutral, flesh-colored range are more suitable.

For women of age, when making up lips, it is important to mask wrinkles and give smoothness to the lips. This problem can be successfully solved with a product containing silicone.

In general, it is important to consider the composition of the pencil when buying.Products of well-known cosmetic brands in the composition additionally contain a vitamin complex and caring products. Inexpensive products often contain harmful ingredients. If the lips are dry, often chapped or cracked, then you should buy pencils with herbal extracts, oils and vitamins.
