Lip gloss comes back and will soon displace the matte lipstick. This is confirmed not only by the fashion weeks but also by the manufacturers of cosmetics: recently, the coolest brands have had sparkles. We tell you how to choose the most comfortable and how to wear
Why are the sparkles in fashion?
From the zeroes they have changed: they have become less sticky, more resistant and smell not only gum. The mass trend on them is just beginning to emerge - in support of the popular aesthetics of the 2000s. By the way, we can thank Rihanna, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian for that. Their brand lines - Fenty Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics and KKW Beauty - have sparkles, and they often wear them themselves.
Earlier, Milk Makeup, made by Zanna Roberts Russy, Director of Fashion at Marie Claire, was the first brand to have a sparkle. Not that she anticipated the trend, but rather that she fit into it: she realized that now it is important not to wear anything, but how. That's why Milk was one of the first to shoot glitter when it wasn't fashionable; the brand's website had a great gallery with examples of how to use it.
Can you make them sparkle more durable?
The glossy textures are always less resistant than the dry ones. That's why any shine is worse than matte lipstick, and there's nothing you can do about it. But, first of all, now there are hybrid, dense textures, which almost do not spread and are not immediately "eaten". Secondly, even if the fashionable transparent sparkles slightly stretch out, it will not be noticeable. Third, to increase gloss resistance, apply it to the lipstick primer or after you circle your lips with a transparent "silicone" pencil - it will literally stop the spread of gloss.
Does the lip gloss really increase?
Slightly, due to minimal irritation of the lip skin with menthol or other similar ingredient. It is important that such shine can not be used on the eyelids. You should also avoid them if you have sensitive lips. In other cases, they are harmless.
Do they make your lips dry?
Almost all shine, even if it's inexpensive, contains caring ingredients. The standard shine is not much different from that of nematode lipstick, it also slightly moisturizes and creates a barrier that retains water in your skin. That's why the lip gloss even takes care of your lips.
Can the shine be used as a highlighter?
Yes, it will give the most obvious, naturalistic shine. However, the stickiness will not go anywhere, so you will need to remove your hair from your face. A similar effect with lower viscosity will give a transparent lip balm, oily cream, and even Vaseline.
And if you want glossy eyelids?
The most beautiful effect of wet eyelids really gives a shine (or Vaseline, but it is suitable for shooting). In theory, lip gloss can be worn in front of your eyes. It is best if it says that it is allowed to be worn on the eyelids - then the likelihood of allergies is minimal. If there is no such mark, you can still try - and carefully monitor the sensations. There are special sparkles for eyelids, they are usually less viscous and therefore more comfortable. And there are universal sparkles of the format "liquid glass", which are designed for any part of the skin.
But remember that it is better to use heat-resistant ink with such makeup - another shine will dissolve sooner or later. And it is better to apply it not near the lashes, but a little higher.
