How to maintain and modify lips?

Lips are particularly prone to rough and chapped, because lips have no subcutaneous fat. Therefore, the premise of lip beauty is that lip maintenance is very important. The maintenance of lips is to keep lips moist.

First of all, we should pay attention to cleanliness, drink plenty of water at ordinary times and quit bad habits, such as licking our lips, drinking coffee and smoking.

Then stick to lip massage. When massaging, first apply enough special lip massage cream on the upper lip, then put the fingertip of the index finger in the middle of the upper lip, and the abdomen of the index finger is just above the person. Press one side of the corner of the mouth with the middle finger of the same hand, and press the other side with the thumb. The thumb and middle finger firmly meet the index finger of the oppressed person. When the upper lip is squeezed by three fingers, the skin of the upper lip is exercised, becoming firm and plump, and not easy to wrinkle. This massage can be repeated 10 times.

Finally, maintenance, because the lips are not nourished by fat and epidermal lipids, the skin is tender and prone to moisture deficiency, dryness and aging. Any cosmetics left on it for too long or used too much will be damaged. Therefore, before applying lipstick, you can apply some cosmetics such as cold cream or moisturizing lipstick, which can avoid the direct contact of colored lipstick with lips and reduce the possibility of allergies. When removing makeup, apply cleansing cream first, and then use paper towels, which can slow down irritation and damage lip skin. Apply olive oil to the lips after makeup removal before going to bed every day to ensure the rest and moisture of the lips.

As the saying goes, "the eye takes its spirit, and the lips take its color." As the most elastic part of the face, lip color can best show the elegance of women. Smooth and ruddy will give people a youthful aesthetic feeling; Delicate and charming gives people a kind of wild sexy beauty; Soft red lips can best highlight the gentleness of women. And lipstick plays an important role here.

1. Determine the lip shape

Before lip makeup, you should first find your best lip shape in front of the mirror, then consider whether the proportion structure of face and facial features is appropriate, find out the parts that need to be changed and adjusted, and make a clear plan. Don't blindly imitate and blindly change the ideal lip shape. What suits you is the best.

If the lip line is sharp and lively, it presents a straight aesthetic feeling, showing keen and capable; Soft, round and curvy, giving people a gentle and pure impression; Small lips will look smart and beautiful; Thick and soft curved lips will make people feel frank, warm and seductive.

There are generally three ways to draw lip lines.

(1) 1/2 type. The highest peak of Lipu Mountain is just between the corner and the center line. It is characterized by symmetrical and full contours of the upper and lower lip lines, dynamic and static mouth, and unique appearance. It is an ideal lip shape.

(2) Type 1/3. Mountain shape, deep ups and downs. This lip shape gives people a rich feeling, which is characterized by the highest point of the lip line, that is, the highest point of this mouth shape is at 1/3 of the distance from the middle of the lip to the end of the outer corner of the mouth.

(3) Type 3/2. The mountain-shaped peak of the upper lip extends from the center of the lip to 2/3 of the corner of the mouth, sometimes with a gentle and beautiful smile, and sometimes with a sense of arrogance. When using this lip shape, be careful not to overemphasize the yamagata peak of the lips, otherwise there will be a feeling that the lip shape is not correct.

In addition, the choice of lip type should be matched with different face types, and the proportional relationship should also be considered. For example, don't draw short and thin lips for a wide and long face, and don't draw thick lips for a narrow and thin face.

Apply lipstick

It is necessary to clean and dry lips. It should be noted that if there are traces of old lip color or other dirt on your lips, it will affect the color of lipstick, so be sure to wipe it with a paper towel first. If the lips are not dry, it is not easy to put on makeup. After the preparatory work is finished, it is to draw lip lines. You can apply lipstick after you draw the lip shape.

The main point of lipstick is to apply it to the middle lip from both sides of the upper lip, then to the middle lip from both sides of the lower lip, and gradually to cover it completely from the outer edge to the inner side. When applying lipstick, first apply the first layer, then gently press it with a facial tissue to absorb the floating color, and then apply the second layer of lipstick, so that the lipstick will last longer. Lipstick that overflows the lip shape should be carefully wiped off with a paper towel so as not to affect the lip line that has been drawn. It is everyone's hope to have an ideal and perfect lip shape. If you can master the skills of lip painting, you can use lipstick to correct the shape of lips, which will make people's eyes produce visual errors and achieve the effect of shaping charming lip shapes. The method is as follows.

(1) The labia minora is enlarged. It can make the periphery of the lower lip slightly expand and the color is the same as that of the upper lip. It should be noted that the enlarged part of lip red can be painted thicker.

(2) The big lips become smaller. Cover the lip contour with foundation color first, then draw the contour smaller than the original lip shape with lip liner pen, and then paint the lip shape with bright lip red, paying attention to the curve of the upper lip not to be too obvious.

(3) Thick lips become thinner. On the outer side of the lip shape, cover the excess part with foundation color or concealer color, then sketch it with lip liner on the inner side according to the outline shape, and then cover it with lip red. Lip red is darker.

(4) Thin lips become thicker. Draw an outline parallel to the outside of the lip contour of 1 ~ 1.5 mm with a lip pencil, and paint a layer of deep lip red around it.

(5) Correction of upper and lower curvature. The upper curve is to increase the lip angle by about 5 mm, the middle of lip color is slightly deeper, and the lower lip angle is slightly shallower than the upper lip angle; The curve below is the opposite.

(6) The lip color is too dark. You can choose bright colors such as bright red and orange, and it is also suitable for the elderly with bright lips. You can use a lighter natural lip color, such as pink.
