Varieties of lip pencils

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

Classic wooden products with slate 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 contour is 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 pencil shirt also matters. The softer the wood, the more pleasant the product is to use. The disadvantage of this contour is the fragility of the lead itself.

In plastic instruments with an automatic mechanism, the coloring 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 its main drawback - it is very difficult to draw a line of small thickness using such a tool. In addition, you must not twist the lead too much without the risk of breaking it.

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

• The colored contours have excellent pigmentation and 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 makeup, gloss is applied on top.
• Flesh-colored devices can be of several nude shades, but light brown pencils are especially popular. For a visual change in the shape of the lips, the contours of a beige shade 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 slate contains the smallest particles of shimmer, which scatter the incident light and soften the contour boundaries. This pencil is often used to define the upper part of the mouth and create a seductive outline.
• Colorless products are necessary to hold the lipstick and prevent it from spreading.

Cosmetic contours with silicone are outwardly similar to colorless ones, but have a completely different purpose. The lead of such a product contains many natural resins, beeswax, and silicones. Therefore, it perfectly fills in all the irregularities and is recommended for the makeup of women of mature age. This contour gives the lips smoothness, makes them look younger and more voluminous.

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

Lipstick pencil is easy to apply and has good durability. Such a product will not be able to draw an even and thin line, since its lead 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 take into account the hardness of the coloring stick and the saturation of the pigment. To assess these qualities, you need to make a few strokes with the selected tool on the back of the hand.

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

If you don't want to sharpen your pencil all the time, you should give preference to automatic products with a twisting stick. When 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, girls who prefer natural makeup are more suitable for pastel or colorless pencils. With such contours, you get a great natural or nude make-up. If not lipstick is used more often, but gloss, then products with silicone or pencils of a neutral, flesh scale are more suitable.

When making up lips, it is important for older women to mask wrinkles and give smooth lips. This task 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 additionally contain a vitamin complex and caring products. Inexpensive products often contain harmful ingredients. If the lips are dry, often chapped or cracked, then it is worth buying pencils with herbal extracts, oils and vitamins.
