How to choose a lip liner
A set of rules should be adhered to when choosing a lip liner:
- Softness. A pencil which is too hard can damage the delicate skin and make it difficult to draw the line. Very soft pencil leaves a sloppy line and spreads quickly.
- Manufacturer. It is advised to buy products of famous brands which create means on the basis of caring components.
- Pencil case. It should not have chips or cracks. Preference should be given to wooden cases. The automatic mechanism is convenient because it does not need to be sharpened. However, you can’t draw a very thin line with it, and if you twist it too hard, you risk breaking the lead.
- Thickness. The most popular pencils are of medium thickness.
- Composition. Products based on bee products, protein. It is good if vitamins and oils are added to the composition.
- staying power. Water-resistant products wash out only with special solutions and are not suitable for epidermis suffering from lack of moisture.
As for color, you have to rely on the secrets of proper makeup:
- The color of the pencil can fully coincide with the shade of the lipstick or be slightly darker;
- To soften the contour line it is necessary to shade it;
- A pencil with small pearly particles can help visually give volume to the lips;
- Under the gloss are suitable transparent contours, which prevent the flow of cosmetics.
