11 best lip tints
Tint is a liquid cosmetic that first appeared in Korea. It is made on a water or oil basis, with the addition of a large amount of coloring pigment, which, penetrating deep into the skin, creates a permanent coating on the lips with the effect of tattoo. Due to the light and weightless texture, tint is almost not felt on the lips, but at the same time maintains makeup in perfect condition for many hours.
How to choose the right lip tint
Consistency. Tint can be oily, gelatinous or completely liquid. The more watery the structure of the product is, the faster it dries up, therefore, it is better to begin acquaintance with tints with a jelly-like consistency.
- Applicator. The traditional option - a bottle with a familiar sponge-brush is most convenient, because it allows you to apply the tool even on the go. Tint in jars have to be applied with fingers, which will create some inconvenience. There are also more practical options, for example, tints in the form of felt-tip pens, providing accurate and fast application along the contour.
- Color pigment. As a rule, tint from most manufacturers is represented in a limited range of colors - a maximum of 3-5 shades that look very bright and saturated in bottles. However, you should not worry, because after applying on the lips, the tool is absorbed and becomes more natural, emphasizing the natural tone of the skin of the lips. You can adjust the color saturation by applying an additional amount of layers.
- Nice bonuses. Tint is designed primarily to create a sustainable makeup for the lips, but many manufacturers are increasingly pleased with their fashionable novelties - on the shelves there are products with sun protection factor, moisturizing ingredients and caring ingredients.
- Composition. It is better to give preference to products with vitamins, natural oils, natural extracts, which will allow the skin not to dry out and get nutrition and hydration even with regular long-term wearing of tint.
