"The fashion of oversized lips comes to us from the US It's a phenomenon that started in music and popular culture," says Prunelle, "Make-up Artist Urban Decay France." Fashion was not prescriptive. R'n'B, the clip dancers and lately Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian's little sister) who created these new beauty standards including contouring and large-format mouths. "
Today, women want to give volume to their lips, redraw the contour and reduce wrinkles, but without necessarily having a session in a surgeon or a cosmetic doctor.
A trend that cosmetic brands were quick to notice and which they were inspired to create a known product, but which had almost disappeared in recent years: the lip repulper.
2017, the new generation lip repulper
A few years ago, lip repulpers were rather aggressive and were confined mainly to a vasodilatation action. Their key ingredients being pepper, caffeine or ephedrine, their long-term use could be irritating or allergenic. Formulated in gloss for the most part, they had the disadvantages: tights and ephemeral attire. Good news: these two disadvantages have since been solved.
Side formulation the new generation of gloss, lip balms or volumizing lipsticks focuses on ingredients naturally present in our body: the peptides stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, essential for firming and hyaluronic acid plumps the skin .
The other components are preferably natural and little or no irritants: ginger (3D Lip Plumpfix Dr Brandt) that does not dry the labial tissue, pomegranate antioxidant (O Plump Smashbox) and shea butter , essential moisturizer (Red Perfecto Balm Embellisher Givenchy).
Another innovation: some of these repulpeurs are thought of as care. Applied in cure, their effects and benefits are destined to continue (Lip Bio-Lipid Concentrate Booster Lips of NIOD).
How to apply it?
For maximum results, we make sure that our lips are properly hydrated, without dead skin or mini-cuts. A scrub followed by a moisturizing mask will solve these small disadvantages.
The plumper is then placed in the center of the lips and spread out towards the corners of the mouth. After a few seconds, it is wiped with a dry cotton, then it applies his usual lipstick.
For the addicts of the brilliant mouth, a plump and colored gloss will do the job, without it being necessary to remove it (Lip Injection Glossy from Too Faced). Fans of the mat can turn to the Plumprageous Glamglow.
Give volume to his mouth by cheating
It is not only the plumping products that make it possible to rectify, the air of nothing, the small labial imperfections.
Makeup can fulfill this mission and even hold all day if we follow the valuable advice of the make-up artist Prunelle:
- Start by moisturizing the lips with a balm morning and evening. Thus, they will not be dry or streaked.
- Blur the contour of the lips with a liquid concealer with a straightening effect that fades the down better than a creamy mascara.
- Then redefine the mouth with a pencil barely darker than your lipstick by limiting the increase to two millimeters.
- Choose a lipstick in nude or pink tones and, if possible, shade it by playing on the material: clear in the center of the mouth, dark on the corners.
- Finish with a touch of highlighter on Cupid's bow. Remember that satiny and glossy textures accentuate the illusion of volume. In the evening, a carmine red with a touch of gloss or repulpeur will create a sophisticated smile. On the other hand, forget about chestnuts and burgundy. "
