All innovations, it should be said, are carefully checked, because the company has a “Global Center for Research and Development”whose area reaches 68,000 square meters. But first things first. The brand was created by a certain David McConnell as early as 1886 under the name "California Perfume Company" in New York. In 1936, the brand gained its permanent name Avon. Over the decades, the workings have changed and the recipes have improved, and only the high quality of each product has consistently remained.

Lipstick can be on the lips from morning to evening, without folding and without losing a presentable appearance. Due to its density, it does not spread over the lips, which allows it to be used on hot summer days.

Composition

Lipstick "Lady" has a good composition, although it can not be called purely natural, like most of the lip care in this price range.

So, the basis is jojoba oil, occupying up to 30% of the total volume of the product. This natural product is famous for its rejuvenating effect, regenerating and anti-inflammatory effect. Jojoba oil gives the lips a natural shine. In addition, in cosmetics for lips, it provides an easy and uniform application.

The second component is the chemical substance betaine. It can be made in two ways. The first is natural - from sugar beet, the second is chemical - from glycine derivatives. And he and the other kind has on the skin:

  • moisturizing effect retaining water in the cells of the epidermis;
  • softening effect;
  • healing of small cracks.

Thus, betaine gives lipstick not only a useful effect, but also makes its texture soft and velvety.

Another essential ingredient of lipstick is the dyes from the category Drugs and Cosmetics list. These dyes are permitted in the pharmaceutical industry and do not harm the body.However, the measure is still recommended to be observed, because most of the lipstick is eaten from the lips during the day. Wanting to reduce the amount of dyes in the body, it is enough to use pastel tones of lipstick, the percentage of dye in them is 4-5%, while the orange and red shades have up to 20% of the dye.

Hydrolyzed wheat proteins are another advanced component in cosmetology. This term refers to wheat germ protein molecules that are specifically treated to make them smaller. The unique amino acid composition tends to penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, moisturizing and restoring the microrelief of the epidermis. Wheat proteins in lipstick create an invisible breathable film on the lips that protects the skin from negative factors.

And Avon was one of the first companies to apply AHA acids in formulations. In lipstick they are also represented by malic acid. It softens and smoothes the epidermis, has a rejuvenating effect.

In the middle of the composition can be observed lanolin or, in other words, vegetable fat, covering the lips with a thick film. Its healing properties for the skin are well studied, but in hypersensitive women, the ingredient can cause allergies.

Surely not included in the composition and without some chemical components, such as antioxidants. However, they provide a long shelf life of products and inhibit the processes of oxidation that can harm health.

How to choose a shade

Lipstick “Lady” from Avon does not provide for the presence of probes, which becomes a significant problem for some of the fair sex, as it is far from a secret that paper cannot transfer the exact shade of the product.

Really, exact shade is impossible to predict. However, you can reduce the risk of disappointment from a different color to a minimum by figuring out which color notes are suitable for certain color types.

When choosing lipstick, make-up artists recommend focusing on:

  • age;
  • warm or cold skin tone;
  • hair color;
  • eye color.

With age orientation everything is as simple as possible. Light and nude shades are suitable for young girls, young women for evening bows - bright colors, for ladies of solid age - deep dark shades. The division, you see, is too generalized, which means that it is not too far-sighted to use it blindly.

Much more accurate will be the definition of lipstick on the undertone of the skin. Not everyone knows it, but recognition does not require certain skills. So, the experiment requires gold and silver foil, good daylight. A foil of two colors is alternately applied to the face. If your skin begins to glow and shine as gold approaches - your tone is warm, silver is cold. Warm girls will suit all warm shades from cappuccino to wine, cold - pink, purple, lilac.

Orientation when choosing a lipstick can and hair color. So, blondes in most cases are suitable pink tones from delicate to fuchsia. A casual look will add a light brown palette. Burning brunettes become even brighter when using red-wine lipstick. Ginger beauties increase their beauty by applying orange, coral and brown shades.

Eye color will be another criterion when choosing. Green-eyed girls will be surprised at the extraordinary organicity when applying terracotta and coral notes. Women with brown eyes can look brown, scarlet and pale pink. Eyes of the color of gray sky will sparkle with new colors on the contrast of brown and plum lipsticks. Blue-eyed beauties will become more sensual when using cherry and beige-pink undertones.

As you can see, there are many ways to determine the shade, but there is still no universal one. Wanting to choose the very shade, it is important to competently examine your appearance and combine all the techniques together, choosing the perfect option for yourself. Of course, this option will include thousands of tones and variants of fashionable lipsticks that can best reveal the femininity and beauty of the exterior.

Makeup artists treat lip makeup more responsibly, wanting to see long-term coverage with the effect of juiciness and grooming. To do this, they use several methods:

  • before applying lipstick lips covered with foundation, after a while promakivaya his napkin.
