New Year’s makeup: reviews

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

Choosing a lipstick shade for an important holiday is a separate and very important topic for me. After all, you need to take into account not only the color of the dress and accessories, but also the theme of the event and geolocation. Since I will be spending this year outside the city in a fun but calm enough company and not going to play snowballs, I decided to rely on the classics.

So my pick is the classic red from Clarins. Since the evening will be long, I deliberately chose not matte, but soft lipstick, so that in case of a desire to change the makeup it would be easy to wipe it off. My dress will be cream, but, as everyone knows, red is the shade that can be worn under any outfit.

Rouge Eclat has a delicate creamy texture: lipstick nourishes the skin and creates a soft glossy effect. As a bonus – a pleasant aroma. The texture of the lipstick is light: in one layer you can get the result of “bitten” lips, and a dense double layer will provide a bright red, classic shade.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

Only a rich red lipstick is worthy of decorating my lips during a party. It goes with absolutely any outfit. True, it is very difficult for me personally to choose a shade that suits me, which does not yellow the teeth and does not create the effect of a dull face.

On New Year’s Eve, I want to look bright and festive and at the same time not too pretentious, and therefore, instead of scarlet, I chose a deep pink, not as vigorous as fuchsia, and a little lighter than raspberry – a shade called Magnolia Organza # 301. It is worth paying tribute to: the shade emphasizes the whiteness of the teeth and does not conflict with the skin tone.

Givenchy lipstick has a matte texture. The coverage is very dense, that is, just one layer is enough for the lips to acquire a rich shade. Like any matte lipstick, this one dries your lips a little. At the same time, she lasts for a very long time: you can go with her all evening. Slight discomfort and dryness, of course, are felt, but in principle you can tolerate.

In addition to durability, this Givenchy lipstick has another significant plus: it is versatile. In the evening it can be applied in the traditional way, and in the afternoon with light patting movements. The shade will not be too saturated, but it will be enough to refresh the face.

Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”

“I chose shade 101. This is the right, classic red that almost all women adore. It perfectly emphasizes the sexiest part of the face and suits both dark and pale skin.

Lipstick is almost matte, dryish in texture, but diverges well and pleasantly on the lips. It fits very tightly, highly pigmented. A pleasant feeling of hydration immediately appears on the lips. Fills in all small cracks.

The aroma of the lipstick is light, fruity-floral. Better to apply lipstick with a brush. In this case, you will get beautiful, juicy, neatly painted lips, and the lipstick will last longer. Otherwise, the lipstick will spread along the contour, float in the corners, it is still moisturizing.

Lipstick is persistent, it will last four hours. It is hard to wash off, if you accidentally touch your lips, even lightly, a trace will remain. “

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

“I have dreamed of trying matte lipstick for a long time, but I didn’t dare – I thought it wouldn’t suit me. And when I was offered to test the MAC lipstick from the permanent collection, I was incredibly happy – not only did the lipstick turn out to be matte, but also a bright red shade. I have definitely not tried this color yet, and I was curious to test this product.

To begin with, the MAC brand, founded back in 1984, is today very popular all over the world and is considered a professional brand for makeup artists. The company claims that their cosmetics will suit all skin types, women of all ages – both for evening and everyday makeup.

Well, now about the pleasant. I really liked the packaging of the lipstick – stylish design, quite economical, a large selection of shades and a matte structure. In principle, the lipstick is neatly applied, does not roll and lasts long enough. I also appreciated the smell of the product – caramel-vanilla, but not intrusive.

Of the minuses. As I said, I got a bright red shade. It was assumed that on the lips, this shade will also be rich and bright. In fact, it turns out that the lipstick lays down in a transparent layer and does not look as bright as in the package. Another disadvantage for me was the fact that lipstick dries lips. Therefore, for me it may rather be as an evening option: apply for a few hours to shine at a party, before that, having well moisturized the skin of the lips. For everyday makeup, of course, I choose moisturizing lipsticks or balms. Especially in cold weather, when the skin of the lips needs care and protection. “

Kristina Semina, editor of the “Lifestyle” column:

“I will celebrate the New Year in a green dress, or in black, or in white. I will decide on this a few minutes before the celebration. But with makeup, everything is decided: I always give preference to the natural. That is why the Giordani Gold nude lipstick called “Royal Camellia” from the Oriflame New Year collection caught my attention.

So, the Royal Camellia shade is only half a tone brighter than my natural lip color. It also creates a subtle shine and shine on the lips, but it all looks very natural.

Now about the texture. I fell in love with her after the first application. It is very similar to hygienic lipstick: very soft, delicate, and even smells good! Plus, it fits perfectly and does not spread.

And the most important thing is resilience. On my lips, she lasted about 6 hours with my snacks and constant drinking of water. In principle, this time is enough for me. The main thing is that it is simply imperceptibly erased from the lips, and does not leave marks on napkins and mugs. “

Victoria De, Deputy Chief Editor:

“Have you bought a Charme de Vous Paris lipstick? Congratulations! Personally, I have tried a lot of cosmetics of various brands and, believe me, I treat it with particular rigor! But I can confidently give a solid top five to the means of this brand.

Colour. Bright, juicy. On the lips the same as we see in the tube. I chose a deep fuchsia shade for myself (it went well with a pale pink dress) and was very pleased.

Persistence. Moderately persistent. I am a lover of constantly walking around the office with a cup of coffee. With ordinary lipsticks, as a rule, embarrassment cannot be avoided (there will certainly be stains in the corners of the lips or marks on the cup), and Charme de Vous Paris passed the test with success!

Texture and flavor. The sensations on the lips are pleasant. Especially in cold weather, you feel that your lips are protected from negative factors. Scent? Slim and delicate. Subtle. Not annoying. In short, I recommend! “
