Lip pigment is a worthy answer to lipstick. Yes, it has its drawbacks - natural lip pigments offer a very small palette of colors. And synthetic ones can harm your lips with their chemical composition. And yet, lip pigment has an impressive list of advantages, and it would be foolish to refuse it. It is easy to use, does not “eat” from the lips, and after absorption into the skin does not leave marks on clothes or the walls of glasses. Your lips acquire a rich shade and retain it throughout the day! Use pigment and forget about lipstick. And we will tell you how to prepare an absolutely safe and natural lip pigment at home.

What is lip pigment?

Even the most everyday makeup will not be complete without using lipstick. This is almost a ritual - we need to swipe the color stick over our lips a couple of times to moisturize the skin and renew its color.
At the same time, our lipstick is the most unstable element of the decorative cosmetics we use. It is quickly “eaten up” and leaves traces. And a juicy lipstick imprint left on a friend’s cheek will not only be proof of your love, but will also make her friend nervous.
You can use long-lasting lipsticks, but they are usually saturated with aggressive coloring agents. And you need to carefully study the composition of such cosmetics. You can also use professional (industrial) and natural lip pigments.

Beautiful lips without lipstick: permanent makeup

Tattooing or permanent lip makeup will ensure that you maintain an ideal lip contour throughout the entire working day, and it doesn’t matter whether you had to “melt” for a long time in the hot sun or be in the pouring rain. A wonderful dinner at a restaurant with a charming man will not be constantly interrupted by continuous absences to renew your makeup. With the help of tattooing, you can not only give your lips a permanent color that does not require additional touch-up throughout the entire time, but also correct the ideal contour.

Permanent makeup does not last forever; its magical effect lasts up to six months. This time will be enough to fully mature for the next procedure, and enough so that you don’t get tired of this color.

The work of a permanent makeup or tattoo artist begins with the fact that he explains to you in detail all the details of how and what he intends to do. Only then will you move on to choosing a color. Of course, from a professional point of view, the master will offer a variety of options that most harmoniously suit you. However, you can choose your own color, focusing on the long-familiar shade of your lipstick, or you can choose the desired color in the catalog.

During the micropigmentation procedure itself, mild to moderate pain is typical. For this reason, local anesthesia is administered. Continuous additional pain relief is also carried out with special anesthetic sprays.

The process lasts from forty minutes to three hours, depending on its complexity. Absolutely all materials used, namely caps, spouts, needles, are disposable. In tattooing, the most important thing is the puncture, or rather its depth, this moment should be controlled by a professional. Be especially careful when choosing a specialist. It is best to contact an already proven cosmetologist and inquire about this salon.

Such an operation still causes slight stress to the body's immune system. The risk of herpes increases significantly, for this reason the cosmetologist advises using antiherpetic ointments before and after tattooing. After the procedure, the lips do not swell much, the skin in the tattoo area turns slightly red and a crust forms. However, the effects of lip tattooing completely disappear within three to four days. At the end of this period, the above-mentioned crust disappears from the lips and color begins to appear.

It happens that the color of a tattoo will not be what you expected. In this case, you need an additional lip tattoo correction session, which is completely free. During the session, the specialist will repeat the procedure and make some changes to the brightness or tone of the contour. As for the stability of the pigment, this is a purely individual question. The effect depends entirely on skin type, metabolism, age, as well as the specific reaction to ultraviolet radiation. It is worth noting that the skin is periodically renewed, so the paint pigment is removed and washed out. Keep in mind that after complete healing, the tattoo and contour look much lighter. The contour of the tattoo prevents lipstick from spreading, and your lips will always look attractive and neat.

How to use professional pigments?

You need to apply the pigment to your lips using an applicator .
It is better not to overdo it with its amount - industrial pigments give a rich color. And, in order not to get burgundy or brownish-red lips, it is better to limit yourself to just a couple of drops.
After applying the product to your lips, you need to quickly and thoroughly shade it. This can be done using a lip brush, cosmetic applicator or fingertip.
The industrial pigment absorbs very quickly, so don't hesitate! Try to distribute the product as evenly as possible so that there are no colored streaks left on your lips.
You can wash off any remaining pigment from your fingers with hot water and soap. But know that you will have to work hard for this.

Pigments can also be professional

What are the benefits of natural lip pigments?

They are absolutely harmless to the skin, since they are prepared on the basis of colored vegetables and natural wax.
You can vary the color saturation by changing the amount of pigment applied to the lips.
Using different vegetables will give you the opportunity to experiment with shade.

Yes, manufacturers of synthetic pigments assure us that these products are 100% natural. But know: you can only be sure of the pigment you prepared with your own hands. Believe me, it's not difficult at all!

Vegetable lip pigment

The best lip pigment: creation

Take natural beeswax and grate it on a fine grater.
Pour it into a saucepan. When choosing a saucepan, use the “don’t mind throwing it away” principle. Because the wax will not wash off from it in any case. Heat and melt the wax shavings in a water bath.
Add grated dry beets or fresh cut into pieces to the melted wax.
Stir until smooth using a wooden spoon. Remember : the amount of beets determines the shade of the pigment! Experiment with beet varieties and their age - for example, young beets will give a brighter and lighter shade.
Gently stirring the substance, pour vegetable oil into it and bring until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the pigment mixture through cheesecloth or a fine metal strainer to remove and discard any beet pieces or beet shavings left after chopping.
Gradually cool the mixture to room temperature and pour it into a clean jar of any cosmetic product (for example, hand cream or lip gloss).

To apply the resulting natural pigment, you just need to arm yourself with a lip brush or a suitable applicator. Open the jar, apply the product to your lips and gently blend it. Be sure to close the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dry place.

Instead of beeswax, vegetable glycerin and even simple petroleum jelly .

What to do

If such a problem occurs in a child, it is not recommended to engage in independent treatment or give him any vitamin preparations without a preliminary examination. A child and an adult can suffer not only from a lack of vitamins, but also from their excess. This is why it is important to consult a specialist. What can you do yourself? It is not recommended to use cosmetics to give your lips a pink color. This helps only for a while, can harm the skin and will only worsen its condition or provoke the development of an allergic reaction.

You can make your lips pink using natural ingredients. And all procedures can be carried out at home. In order for the skin to become bright, it is important to provide it with a flow of blood fluid. This can be done using a toothbrush with soft bristles. It must be slightly moistened and gently massage the skin in a circular motion. Such a massage will provoke a rush of blood, improve microcirculation, and help get rid of keratinized particles of the epithelium. It is recommended to perform such manipulations several times during the day to achieve a lasting effect.

You can also improve blood circulation with a homemade scrub. This product will also help remove dead epithelial particles. To prepare a homemade scrub, you will need the following ingredients:

2 teaspoons sugar or granulated sugar;
a teaspoon of honey;
a teaspoon of coconut oil.

All components must be mixed and applied to the skin. Next, massage your lips with light movements in a circle. Rinse off the paste with warm water. It is recommended to use this product two to three times a week. You can make your lips pink and smooth using coconut oil, olive oil or jojoba oil. These products are recommended to be applied during the day and at night, especially in hot or frosty weather.

In pharmacy chains you can also purchase oil formulations of vitamins A or E. If used systematically, these products will also be effective.

You can achieve good results by systematically using a mask of pomegranate seeds. They need to be crushed, milk added, and the paste applied. Doing this mask several times a week will help make your lips bright and healthy. An effective remedy is cottage cheese and cream or honey and vegetable oil. Mix the ingredients, add a few drops of fresh beet juice into the mixture. Apply the mixture, wait 10 minutes, then rinse, preferably with mineral water. After this procedure, it is best to apply an oil composition or fatty cream. This procedure can be performed by both a girl and a guy.

Another effective option is a turmeric and milk mask. Mix the ingredients in equal quantities, apply for five minutes, rinse with warm water. With regular use, you can achieve a lasting effect. An effective oriental recipe is a mixture of olive oil and paprika. It is applied to the lips for one minute and then washed off. Before going outside, be sure to moisturize your skin with balm or oily hygienic lipstick, and renew as necessary.

It is also important to maintain a drinking regime, drinking at least one and a half liters a day of clean water without gas. When in the sun, you should treat your skin with a special balm with increased ultraviolet protection.

When a girl's lips have a bright, rich color, this indicates her good health. But modern fashion trends dictate their own rules. It is quite difficult to match gloss or lipstick to lips that are too bright. And in general, making attractive makeup is very problematic. In this regard, many girls who are worried about this problem are thinking about making their lips paler. This can be done at home.

If you want your lips to look pale, use the following trick: cover your lips with hygienic or colorless lipstick, apply light powder and a little gloss on top of it. You can complete your makeup with a light pencil.

No help needed: how to get red lips without lipstick?

Olya Red Autumn Beauty and lifestyle blogger from Moscow, participant of the first Lancôme Blogger Battle

What to do if there is a party planned, but there is no scarlet lipstick in your cosmetic bag? A situation probably familiar to every woman. How and what to replace red lipstick with?

The beauty of cosmetics is that many products can be mixed to create new colors and textures at home. And lipstick is exactly the product that can easily be made from available cosmetics.

Lip balm + blush

One of the easiest ways! You will need any lip balm and blush or pink/red eye shadow.

Apply a thick layer of balm to your lips, and then pat blush or shadow into your lips with your finger. Interestingly, if you apply the dry product using tapping movements, the color will be more durable, but less bright. Therefore, we first recommend driving the product into your lips, and then stretching it with stroking movements.

If the tone is not quite even and goes beyond the lips, take a cotton swab and apply the same balm to it, and then adjust the contour. This will help you achieve the perfect shape.

Lip balm is a universal thing that will not only help correct your makeup, but also remove stubborn matte lipstick if you don’t have a special product on hand. Just apply the balm over the lipstick and wait a couple of minutes, then wipe your lips with a napkin - the lipstick will be washed off without a trace. If you use a balm with menthol, your lips will not only become softer, but also visually plumper. Find even more interesting life hacks for using lip balm here.

Cream + eye shadow or cream eyeliner

The next option is also very simple. If you have an oil-based cream, you can mix any bright eyeshadow or cream products with it. For example, eyeliner.

To begin, mix the cream and pigmented product in equal proportions, and then add one of the ingredients as needed. Please note that the cream you need is oily (therefore it is better not to use light fluids). The fact is that it is fat (oil) that will dissolve dry and cream products to a softer texture that is suitable for lips.

By the way, if you still have any lipstick in a delicate shade (for example, pale pink) in your cosmetic bag, and you would like to make it brighter, you can also mix it with blush or eye shadow. Carefully cut off a little lipstick, warm it on the skin and mix it with any product of a more saturated shade (warm or cool). It is better to use glossy lipstick, since matte lipstick is much more difficult to shade.

Happy experimenting! Find ideas for beautiful makeup with bright lips here.

The same paprika, but in combination with turmeric, will give your lips a copper tint Turmeric alone is suitable for creating a natural yellow lip pigment.
