Leading makeup artists explain why you can't draw the perfect contour and how to choose the right lipstick shades.

Lack of hydration of the lips before applying matte lipsticks

Tima Leo, freelance makeup artist:

Often girls scold matte lipsticks for drying their lips. This is partly true - matte textures dry out the skin, including the skin of the lips. But if the body is dehydrated, the lips are dry and the lipstick falls on them badly, you must take care of the care - use special primers or lip balms.

Active circuit

Alexandra Kirienko, star makeup artist:

Girls who enlarge their lips try to emphasize the contour. Everything should be in moderation. If you've injected with fillers, your best friend is a neutral lipstick with no additional contours. You can highlight the checkmark above the upper lip with a highlighter.

If you have natural lips, but you want to visually enlarge them, make a contour. I recommend natural pencils like The Flesh Tine Lip Liner by Kevin Aucoin in Medium. Easy to apply and blend. Doesn't dry lips - it contains jojoba oil. The main thing is to shade the contour, the borders should not be clear.

Ernest Muntaniol, Chanel's leading makeup artist in Russia:

Dark and red lipstick tones need a perfect, crisp contour in a classic make-up. But if you apply light lipstick, the contour will be superfluous: there should be lightness.

Choosing shades that accentuate yellow teeth

Irina Mitroshkina, independent makeup artist, co-owner of the Prive7 salon chain:

When choosing shades, keep in mind: lilac lipsticks with a pink undertone emphasize the yellowness of the teeth. This is often forgotten. To visually whiten your teeth, opt for rich reds and darks.

Incorrect procedure

Mila Klimenko, official make-up artist of L'Oréal Paris in Russia, founder of the Nikk Mole make-up school:

You need to start drawing the lips from the upper lip from the center to the edges. Only at the end, bring the lipstick contour to the ideal. Otherwise, the contour is not perfectly flat.

Using bright lipstick "on the run"

Mila Klimenko, official make-up artist of L'Oréal Paris in Russia, founder of the Nikk Mole make-up school:

If you are doing bright lip makeup and want to achieve a clear and even contour, you need to sit in front of a large mirror and rest your elbows on the table so that your hands do not tremble. This makes it easier to make the lips symmetrical.

Too thick lipstick

Irina Mitroshkina, independent makeup artist, co-owner of the Prive7 salon chain:

Very often, girls forget to blot their lips with a napkin after applying lipstick. Even if you have nothing at hand, you can run your finger over your lips after the first layer. Otherwise, the lipstick will not stick and will be imprinted on the teeth. Of the most persistent, I can single out LimeCrime and Vice Lipsticks from Urban Decay.

Incorrect combination of lipstick color with blush color

Irina Mitroshkina, independent makeup artist, co-owner of the Prive7 salon chain:

Remember, warm lipsticks don't go well with cold blush. Cold shades with cold, warm with warm - just this way and nothing else.

Bright eye makeup with bright lip makeup

Ernest Muntaniol, Chanel's leading makeup artist in Russia:

An important rule: with intense eye makeup, you need light tones of lipsticks and gloss, with luscious and expressive lips - moderate eye makeup.
