Persistent mark: 10 lipsticks and tints that last forever
Text: Moore Sobolev, author of the telegram channel Fierce & Cute
The most summer DECORATIVE MEANS definitely lip tints. They can be liquid, like water, look more like lipstick or be packaged in jars, but the meaning is always the same - the color of such products "eats" into the skin of the lips without losing its intensity. Such pieces are usually very persistent (tint easily keep for many hours, reliving kisses and food) and bright enough. Moore Sobolev tells about the coolest.
Holika Holika Lazy & Joy All Night Tint
590 rub.
Tints are terribly loved by Koreans, so they will be in the assortment of any local brand. Holika Holika has several options, the newest of them came out in the hit series with the lazy yolk Gudetama - Lazy & Joy. All three of a similar shade and with one effect - they are very slowly absorbed and do not freeze to the end, unlike the classic Korean steins, but they barely dry. Perfectionists when applying it is better to use a pencil to match or transparent - a tool tries to spread slightly over the edges of the lips.
Dior Addict Lip Tattoo
2410 rub.
The spring novelty - part of the global Dior rejuvenation program - again flirts with the millennials, and therefore offers all the best at once: color, durability, dullness. Lip Tattoo has a convenient sponge and excellent consumer qualities: it takes about ten minutes for shrinkage, but then it keeps naturally as nailed. Pigment is enough here: in two layers, the coating is not just opaque, but very bright.
YSL Vinyl Cream Lip Stain
2925 rub.
In the European YSL suite - the kings of tints: it was they who set a fashion on them, one after another releasing Glossy Stain, Volupté Tint-in-Oil and cream Kiss and Blush. The latest version of the favorite brand of texture is a hybrid of stein and lipstick: when the “vinyl” effect promised in the title goes away, a lasting matte tint remains. However, if applied very thinly, Vinyl Cream Lip Stain will only glitter slightly.
Lancôme Matte Shaker
1871 rub.
The latest version of the brightest new Lancôme of recent years - this time the baby “shaker” promises a matte finish. New "shakers" are not as strongly exfoliated as the original version, so sharply shaking them is not necessary (but nice). The coating is obtained not ultramate, but rather velvety. Tint falls very thin, absorbs instantly and - surprisingly - does not dry lips at all.
Benefit benetint
2550 rub.
The mother of all tints and the first work of Benefit: last year, the brand from San Francisco celebrated forty (!) Years from the release of Benetint. Tint was created by request of a striptease dancer, and Benetint was originally intended to tint nipples. This classic thing has a number of drawbacks: for example, it is not always convenient to apply a tool with a built-in brush, but you need to work with it quickly, otherwise the battle lanes will remain - but the charming history and length of service justify everything.
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks
2620 rub.
Longtime classic Bobbi Brown: cream blush, which can also be used as a light lipstick. As a tint, they can dry out a little and so dry lips, like most of these products, but this problem is solved by pre-applying a balm. The main advantages of Pot Rouge are a convenient form factor and really beautiful universal shades.
MAC Versicolour Stain
1750 rub.
Last year, the MAS had some very successful launches in the lip product category - in particular, this Versicolour shine. This is a tint of a new generation: a very intense glossy texture that is absorbed in an hour or two, leaving an unkillable pigment. The colors are excellent, vibrant and favor layering. Not only water, but also oils are mixed into the pigment, so tint does not dry at all.
Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip
1650 rub.
In the description of Artist Acrylip, the phrase "lip paint" is indicated, and so it is - it is paint. It can be applied finely, then it will be a matte stein, and it can be generous, and then it is exclusively pigmented glossy lipstick. Artist Acrylip is not an applicator, but a convenient dispenser with a sponge at the end, so the quantity and, accordingly, the effect is easy to control. However, in order to draw a contour, you will have to try - the attached sponge is not intended for this.
Giorgio Armani Beauty Lip Magnet
2380 rub.
One of the best launches of this year is lipstick-stein of impeccable quality: very intense color, comfortable sponge and simply frenzied durability. Lip Magnet falls fine - it has a slightly watery texture - and at first it looks like liquid lipstick, but not for long: the product is quickly absorbed, while remaining very bright. The only drawback is that it is difficult to wash off the lipstick even with a two-phase agent, which is so resistant.
Burberry Lip & Cheek Bloom
2100 rub.
A very elegant brand makes excellent mousse textures: creamy shades have also been successful, and these are blush-tints. They can be applied with a brush, but the most convenient way is to do it with your fingers - then a translucent thin velvety layer is obtained. Unlike liquid steins, Lip & Cheek Bloom is not distinguished by extreme resilience - but they look equally beautiful on lips and cheeks, and able people use them also as shadows.
