What lipstick when you are tanned?

If you come back from vacation with a nice tanned complexion, take the opportunity to highlight it with a suitable lipstick. With pretty tanned skin, the colors to favor are bright and very bright red, fuchsia or even coral. To bring out your luminous complexion, prefer rather flashy bright shades. Tones that are too dark or shades of candy pink or purple are to be avoided, they make you look bad. If you have naturally dark skin, you can also opt for lipsticks in golden, honey, peach, caramel or even nude tones. Bright shades such as pop orange will also look great.

Mixed-race or black skin: dare to use pop colors

Mixed-race and black skins also have a whole repertoire of lipsticks perfectly suited to their complexion. The colors that go very well with mixed-race skin are actually all shades of red. From bright red to blood red to plum, you have a wide choice of shades at your disposal. On the other hand, avoid lipstick in pastel shades which tends to dull the complexion. Black skins can also be sublimated with pop and flashy lipsticks. Fuchsia pink is one of the must-haves, as is very elegant plum, burgundy or carmine red. For the more daring, purple and blue will look great on black skin. If you are lucky enough to have plump lips, subtly enhance them with a clear, even transparent lipstick. For best results, opt for a matte finish that will highlight your luscious lips. If you prefer to brighten your complexion, a lipstick with a satin finish will be perfect.

Shiny or matte lipstick on tanned skin?

During the summer, we want shine to illuminate the complexion. You can almost give up your lipstick with a matte finish to give way to glossy. The advantage of the glossy texture: it illuminates the face and gives volume to thin lips. This summer, you can indulge in lipsticks with a satin finish or apply a touch of gloss to your mouth for more shine. Very luscious lips, on the other hand, will prefer matte finishes. Be careful with the lipstick with a matte finish, if your mouth is not perfectly smooth, it will reveal all the little imperfections (fine lines, chapped lips, etc.). In this case, prefer a gloss or satin finish.

Lipstick: how to make it last all day?

In summer with the heat, perspiration, even small dips in the water, your make-up sees all the colors. To hold your makeup, you can opt for waterproof products. Whether it's for your mascara, pencil, shadow or lipstick, today almost all brands offer a waterproof range. To make your lipstick last longer, you can also apply a base before applying your lipstick in two coats. By applying a line of pencil around your lips, you also prolong the hold of the color. On the trick side, you can also apply a little loose powder on your made-up lips to fix the lipstick. Be careful not to apply powder on wet lips or with a lip gloss. Finally, if you want to be sure that your lipstick does not disappear after a few minutes, use a fixer. Despite the heat, the beach or the long summer evenings, your red will remain impeccable all day long.
