Featured lips, we discover step by step how to make them irresistible through the use of a long-lasting tint. All the secrets of one of the most beloved products, available in stick or liquid formula, with shiny, matte or satin textures, but perfectly capable of maintaining color all day long.
How long-lasting lip dye works
Lips, an authentic point of strength and attraction, give the face sensuality and character. Playing a key role can be bright colors, as well as the muted tones chosen for make-up, which can accentuate shapes, make them plump but also more simply beautiful and seductive.
Those who like to show off their lips with elegance, care for them and keep the color in order throughout the day can take advantage of a much-loved solution such as the long-lasting lip tint. Appreciated because they can withstand a long kiss, heat and humidity, a lunch or a day spent at work, these cosmetics differ from simple lipsticks in terms of application duration, use and texture.
The long-lasting product works with absolute simplicity. During the application step, the tint creates a thin layer of color, which is perfectly absorbed by the lips. The color can be accentuated as desired by choosing to proceed with one or more passes.
Application is facilitated by the use of a brush. In the fully loaded stage, the brush should be passed over the lips, starting from the center and then reaching outward. Application to the edges is completed later, when the brush is lightly soaked with color, and allows the contours to be drawn with ease.
Color retention and persistence
With the passing of the hours a good lip tint maintains color hold, body and brilliance, even in the face of particularly complex circumstances.
Characterized by a liquid coloration, and an oily texture, the lip tints have the appearance of a liquid lipstick but, unlike the classic cosmetic, are capable of persistent and long-lasting lip coloring.
Color persistence differentiates this product from other lipsticks. In fact, the long-lasting tint stays perfectly glued to the lips for an entire day, without having to resort to retouching.
Three tips for perfect application
The long life, and the intensity of the color, make the lip tint an extremely interesting product that is easy to apply by following a few simple rules.
For an excellent dye result it can be useful:
- Apply the product to perfectly moisturized lips;
- Apply a primer beforehand for more coverage;
- Maintain proper hydration throughout the day by using chapstick.
To properly prepare the lips before applying the dye, it is important to moisturize. The correct procedure considers as the first step the use of a gentle scrub, which removes any film from the lips. This is followed closely by the application of a moisturizing balm, which should be left on for an hour before proceeding with the tint.
Once the conditioner is removed, all that remains is to make consistent use of primer or, if desired, a light coat of concealer. Primer or concealer ensures that the tint adheres as well as possible.
To maintain consistent hydration throughout the day, all that remains is to apply lip balm over the tint. The choice proves appropriate, especially if you feel that your lips feel a little dry.
