Lip tint has become women’s favorite product, ideal for creating more natural and delicate makeup, without losing its charm.
Lately there has been a lot of talk about lip tint, especially among women who like to be up to date with the latest makeup news. Although it is not exactly a new product, lip tint arrived in Brazil recently, and has since won the hearts of Brazilian women. And not by chance, as its natural coloring effect on the lips leaves the makeup looking more delicate and unpretentious, without losing its charm.
Lip tint, an English expression for literally “lip paint”, is the ideal product for those who want to leave their lips colored, but with a more natural tone. The lightness of the product is what differentiates it from traditional lipsticks and glosses on the market. Furthermore, the long durability is also a positive point of the lip tint, not to mention the fluid consistency that adapts to the natural skin color.
In addition to the lips, lip tint can also be applied to the cheeks, as a type of blush or even eyeshadow. It is a very versatile product and can be used on a daily basis and even for stronger activities, such as working out.
So, today we are going to know everything about it and learn the best way to use it. In addition, of course, check out a list of the best lip tints on the market.
O lip tint
Lip tint, in the more Brazilian version of it, is different from traditional lipsticks and glosses. In fact, lip tint is a type of natural dye, with a liquid or gel texture. Thus, the fluid consistency product adapts well to the skin, resulting in a natural finish to the lips, without leaving a heavy sensation, common with denser lipsticks.
Therefore, the difference with lip tint is exactly that, being light, adaptable and long-lasting. Its effect is only to pigment the mouth, in the most natural tone possible. However, lip tint can also be used to build lip color. To do this, simply apply several layers of the product to achieve a stronger and more striking effect.
In other words, lip tint is suitable for all tastes and occasions. During the day, you can use just one layer, leaving the makeup more natural, and at night, you can apply it more clearly and elaborately.
Types of lip tint
Before choosing the best lip tint for you, you need to consider some factors that determine the type of product. Therefore, the texture, type of applicator, hydration and colors make all the difference when using the lip tint that best suits your needs.
Liquid lip tint
Liquid lip tint is ideal for those looking for a drier, longer-lasting finish. Very similar in consistency to water, liquid lip tint has a much stronger color fixation and a matte-like effect. Ideal for leaving the mouth with a natural color and texture.
Furthermore, the liquid type still yields much more, precisely because it has stronger pigmentation. This way, a single application is enough to leave your mouth colored. On the other hand, the disadvantage is due to the application, which, as it is very liquid, makes it a little more difficult to apply at the beginning, and the possibility of smudging. But nothing that a little practice can’t solve.
Lip tint em gel
The gel type promotes a shinier finish than the other, as well as being smoother. With a creamier consistency, the gel lip tint promotes a more pleasant texture for the lips. However, its pigmentation is a little weaker. Therefore, it is necessary to apply more layers of the product to make the coloring a little stronger, which means it does not yield as much as the liquid.
The application is much simpler. Due to its consistency, it is possible to control and prevent the product from smudging so easily. And unlike traditional lipsticks, the product’s color remains much longer, even after the shiny appearance disappears.
Lip tint and lip hydration
Regardless of the type of lip tint, most of these products have alcohol in their formula. Because this substance makes the product dry faster, while keeping the color and lips dry. However, the presence of alcohol can make the skin dryer. Therefore, to deal with this effect, some lip tint brands use moisturizing ingredients in their formulas.
This way, these products treat the lips during use, without disturbing their effect. One of the components with a moisturizing function most used in these products is hyaluronic acid. This acid helps keep the skin hydrated and prevents it from drying out. In addition, you can also find lip tint options that contain vitamin E, which in addition to hydrating, lubricates, regenerates and increases the skin’s collagen production.
How to use?
Although it seems simple, a few tricks when applying lip tint make all the difference in the final effect.
- In addition to choosing a product with moisturizing ingredients, you can and should use a colorless lip moisturizer before applying lip tint.
- As for the application, there isn’t much of a secret. Depending on the product type or applicator, it may be a little more difficult.
- The flocked applicator, which is the most common, has a type of foam that sucks up the product and makes application easier. However, as it is a little thicker, it is not possible to make many details or create elaborate effects.
- The brush applicator, like a nail polish brush, is a little more difficult to use and requires some practice. However, it allows more control over the application, which allows you to apply the product in more detail.
- The most interesting thing about this product is the variety of possibilities it offers. Therefore, you can use and abuse your creativity when applying it, and achieve different effects.
- If you want something more natural, you can apply just one layer of the product, and spread it with your fingers or the applicator. You will have a slightly flushed mouth, with a very light and delicate appearance.
- For those who want something bolder, the ideal is to pay attention to the layers of the product. The more you apply, the stronger the lip color will be.
- In addition to lips, lip tint can also be used on cheeks. The application, in turn, should be in small quantities, so as not to give a very heavy effect. Therefore, the ideal is two or three drops of the product, combined with a few light taps are enough.
