Contouring and Highlighting with Makeup


face-sculpting




Contouring is one of the oldest practices in the makeup industry. Yet contouring is one of the most frequently left-out steps in makeup applications. Contouring creates a sense of balance, adding definition to your makeup with color. Contrary to belief, contouring is always some shade of brown. Never use shades of makeup such as pink, plum etc. Use a shade that is similar to your skin tone, when it is tan, when contouring.

Lipsticks ? or Lip Stains?




Lipstick is a combination of wax, oil, and coloring pigments. It also contains substances that provide and maintain lip moisture. Although lipstick is chiefly used to put additional color on the lips, there are a variety of lipsticks that offer different characteristics. There are frosted lipsticks, which give the lips an extra shine. The most regular kinds are matte lipsticks, which contain more wax and coloration, but are less shiny than frosted ones. Lipstick is applied by running the wax tube over the lips. The color clings to the lips for a relative period of time, but would eventually fade.


Lip stain, on the other hand, does not contain wax components. This variation of lip color makeup usually comes in liquid form; the function of a lip stain can be derived from its name. The idea is to saturate the lips with colored dye that would potentially last longer than its wax counterpart. It takes more time for a lip stain to fade because the colored dye seeps into the lips, therefore it withstands wear better. In addition to wear-resistance, lip stains are also said to be smudge-proof and waterproof. The product is applied to the lips by using a brush or applicator that is usually contained in the package. There are roll-on versions as well.


The ability of lip stains to last long on the lips is the primary advantage of this new cosmetic product overlipstick. It can also be used as coloring for other parts of the face, like the cheeks. Lip stains come in different colors as well. However, the number of lipstick hues far surpasses that of lip stains. In addition, lip stains do not automatically provide gloss or moisture to the lips, and usually entail the application of an additional substance in order to achieve the said effects.
