Contour, farewell: "Candy" lip makeup
INDEPENDENTLY FOR THAT EXPERIMENTS WITH MAKEUP LIPS not a novelty for bloggers and makeup artists, a month ago, the Western Internet conquered a new trend called "lollipop lips": this is a lip make-up, implying smeared lipstick, as if you had just eaten a lollipop. We talk about the prospects of this undertaking and why it is so agitated by the beauty-community that is accustomed to everything.
How it started
Many makeup weeks of fashion this year were inspired by punk aesthetics. Val Garland turned out to be one of the make-up artists who refused to use the standard techniques: at the Preen by Thornton Bregazzi show, a MAC representative suggested a completely new way of handling lipstick. Models came to the podium with clean faces and simple hairstyles, but their lips were brightly painted - so much so that the color went far beyond the contour. As a result, the make-up was discussed even more than the collection itself, and MAC boldly included such make-up in the trend analysis of the spring-summer 2017 season.
At first, the idea of Garland was noticed only by people involved in the beauty world, but as soon as the trend came to the attention of the Internet, it instantly turned into a meme: even publications loyal to experiments like Popsugar talked about a squall of tweets that mentioned Kylie-Jenner Challenge and oral sex and makeup Joker. However, you should not pay attention to dubious jokes.
Why do we need it
Lipstick is one of the most understandable and popular cosmetic products: there are not enough fingers on your hands to list all existing textures and formats. Nevertheless, many still recognize only one way to make up the lips: to create a contour and gently put the color within it. Opportunities for this sea: if you are looking for bold and unusual options, then make-up from the Preen show is definitely worth a try. He received his share of jokes because of the seeming simplicity of the performance, but in fact, deliberate negligence implies both skill and an artistic look - this is at least an interesting task.
How to do it
For a start, you can conduct an experiment with a light or translucent base, but in general this makeup implies a bright color spot, which becomes paler closer to the edges of the feathering. Tint or stable lipstick should be applied to the center of the lips and evenly beat with a finger until the desired effect is achieved: makeup tools here will rather complicate the process.
For a bolder look, a wet gloss or balm can be added to the center of the lips, which creates the effect of "fluidity". It is quite possible to adapt the method to your preferences: you can only go a little beyond the contour or spread lipstick far beyond its limits. The whole secret is in contrast with the emphasized neat and minimalistic make-up of the rest of the face, as well as in the symmetry, which gives the “non-randomness” of this technique.
