What is lip primer?

This is a real lifesaver for all women who love to tint their lips with lipsticks and glosses. Reviews of the Yves Rocher lip primer claim that it is better to use it if you want to get a matte finish, since there is no shine left when you apply lipstick to it.

The product is designed to prolong the brightness of the color and the “life” of lipstick on sponges. This is a kind of foundation, the so-called preparatory soil for makeup. This innovative little thing allows you to tame even the riot of red color; with it you can drink coffee or tea at a party without hesitation, without fear of staining your mug with lipstick. With lip primer, lipstick can last throughout the day without touch-ups. It will not disappear even if you eat or drink, so the primer is ideal for attending dinner parties and various types of events where food consumption is provided.

Lip makeup starts with a base

1.Guerlain Kiss Kiss Liplift – Leveling, caring base
This base has a softening effect, helps to emphasize the contours of the lips, make them more expressive, and prepares delicate skin for applying lipstick. The formula contains micro-grains that interact with the skin immediately after application, giving lips extra volume and defining their contour.

They promise that its three wonderful components smooth out the lips, increase volume, draw the contour, and fix the lipstick. Weight 3.2g Beautiful, classic, noble design packaging. Despite the conflicting reviews, I really like this base; I’ve definitely bought it 7-8 times in 3-4 years, and because... I always have problems with the purchase (I only once found a consultant who knew about it - usually I take them to Guerlain’s box and look for it myself - they are only surprised that such a thing exists) I always take extra stock.

The manufacturer has fulfilled all the promises - it adds volume, smoothes the contour, slightly whitens the lips, the lipstick goes on easily and smoothly, and wears longer, keeping the outline clear. After removing the lipstick, the lips are soft and smooth, it is noticeable that the base also has caring properties. The base has 1 universal tone and an unobtrusive scent of vanilla, violet and red fruit aroma. Apply a little, going beyond the contour, and then lightly beat in and spread in a thin layer.

There is no aroma. The base is very dense, so it is consumed slowly. This primer is good under lipsticks. Lipsticks with it are easy to apply, look better, the color really comes out and the durability of the lipsticks is extended. And if the lipstick is long-lasting, it relieves the problem of dry lips.

This unique, creamy, invisible base for your lips. It is applied to the lips to make them softer and smoother, thereby making it easier to apply lipstick. Your lip glosses will be the same color as in the tube and will stay on your lips much longer. The formula is enriched with vitamin E, which helps protect lips from the effects of pigments. Composition: Isododecane, Silica, Talc, Ethylenediamine/Stearyl Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Isobutyl Methacrylate/Trifluoroethylmethacrylate/Bis-Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Acrylate Copolymer, Acrylates Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Jojoba Est ers, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Trihydroxystearin, C12- 15 Alkyl Benzoate, Triethylhexanoin, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tribehenin, Propylene Carbonate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sorbitan Isostearate, o-Cymen-5-oL, Ceramide 2, PEG-10 Rapeseed Sterol, Portulaca Pilosa Extract, Sucrose Cocoate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 38

The tube is like a lip gloss, with a felt applicator, inside is a translucent white gel, without fragrances. It is applied gently, barely noticeably brightens the lips, mattifies, does not give a feeling of dryness, but when dry, it turns into the thinnest film, without being absorbed at all. I apply and distribute a little beyond the contour, it is not noticeable from the outside, it dries instantly. The lipstick applies tightly and evenly, the color is more saturated, the durability is extended, the glosses look more mirror-like on this base, I didn’t notice anything about color development. It perfectly helps lip makeup stay in place - lipsticks and glosses lie clearly along the contour. I've been using it for 3 months. Price: 18 euro Rating: 5

4.MAC Prep+Prime Lip - lip base

A hydrating, clear lipstick base that smoothes the surface of the lips and reveals the appearance of lipstick on the lips. Weight:1.7g

My opinion - MAC Prep+Prime Lip not only significantly extends the life of lipstick or gloss - it makes the skin velvety, making it much easier to evenly apply pigment, and neutralizes the drying effect of matte lipsticks. To prevent the gloss from spreading, you need to paint the area behind the contour of the lips with a primer, thereby blocking all the wrinkles and cracks along which the gloss can “leak.” A convenient, thin rod makes it possible to trace an outline; the pencil case can be unscrewed. I have 2 of them - at work and at home. Consumed quickly. I've been using it for 3 years. Price:800r Rating:5+

5.Dior Capture R60/80 Lip Filler - a product for filling the rays along the contour of the lips.

To prevent the charm of your smile from fading with age, use Lip Filler, which effectively smoothes and corrects visible wrinkles in the lip area. This cream gives extra volume to the lips, saturating them with moisture. Day after day, the lip contour becomes clearer. One turn of the base of the “pencil” ensures the appearance of a gel on the applicator, which needs to fill visible wrinkles around the lips. Volume: 1.8 ml

I really like this filler, it moisturizes, smoothes, without color or smell, it quickly becomes unnoticeable, I can’t say that it is absorbed, rather it hardens into a very thin film, the lipstick does not spread like rays along the contour. The gel contains hylauronic acid, so the effect is cumulative, but I haven’t yet gained the patience to use it every day; I use it before applying bright lipstick. A worthy assistant in both care and makeup. I've been using it for three years now. Price 1900 rubles Rating: 5+

Purpose of lip primer

The manufacturer promises many benefits when using Yves Rocher lip primer. We will consider consumer reviews in the following content and from them we will find out whether the stated characteristics correspond to reality. So, what can be achieved using the tool in question?

1. Many lipsticks can have a negative effect on the skin of the lips, drying it out. The primer can prevent this by creating a protective layer. It protects lips from chapping and peeling, smoothes the surface, softens, and provides easy care.
2. Using a primer, you don't have to worry about your appearance. You will not stain your teeth with lipstick when eating food; the color will remain rich and even.
3. Saving is everything! With a lip base you will have to use less lipstick, which means you will have to buy less.
4. The lipstick goes on more evenly with the primer, as it evens out the texture and fills in all the folds and unevenness.
5. The product will not allow gloss or lipstick to spread, violating the boundaries of the lip contour. Many people use pencils for this purpose, but some are not comfortable with them, in which case a primer can help out.

These are the product characteristics presented. Having familiarized ourselves with the product in more detail, let’s look at the reviews about it.

How to use

There are several types of primers, each company has at least 3 of them (for the face, lips, eyes, adding shine, etc.).

Depending on the area of ​​use and type, application methods vary:

• Corrective and soothing. This is a green primer that is applied pointwise to problem areas. It ensures uniform skin color while relieving inflammation. Outwardly it looks more like a concealer than a base. This is Essence All about matt, MAC Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage (MAC);
• Mattifying. Often it is mineral, because to guarantee a soft glow, the products are supplemented with tiny particles of various mineral compounds. This cosmetics is considered the most popular, because it guarantees the longevity of the makeup, its resistance to external influences and the evenness of the skin. Isadora Protect SPF 30, Max Factor Facefinity All Day Primer (Max Factor), Jafra Makeup Primer, ELF Studio Mineral Infused Face Primer;
• Illuminator or highlighter. Few people know that, in essence, a highlighter is a regular base, simply supplemented with reflective particles. This is a universal product; it can be applied both at the beginning of makeup to ensure the inner radiance of the epidermis, and after, if you need to reflect light from a certain area. Revlon Photoready, Shiseido Refining Makeup Primer (Shiseido) and others

After this analysis, it becomes clear that the tinted product is applied only to problem areas, so its use does not exclude the use of another base, say, a mineral one. Highlighter is more of a way to complement your makeup than a necessary tool. And only a classic foundation is really needed for a beautiful look.

Instructions on how to apply primer to your face:

1. The skin is carefully prepared. All impurities need to be removed from the pores. To do this, it is recommended to wash your face with foam first. Afterwards, either scrub or wash your face with micellar water;
2. No creams, fluids or other foundations are applied under the primer. First, a small amount is distributed over dry skin: the cheekbones, apples of the cheeks and wings of the nose are traditionally lubricated first, followed by the forehead and chin. Cosmetics are carefully shaded. Professionals recommend using special pads or sponges for this, but your own fingers can also replace them;
3. The base seems to be driven into the pores with gentle movements. This guarantees an even base and beautiful shading. Do not rub the product over your face with your fingers - otherwise, streaks may remain, which will be more than noticeable after applying the foundation; Applying primer to the face
4. Once the process is complete, contouring and makeup can begin. Sometimes primer completely replaces foundation. This is also a good option, but only for dry, clean skin with tight pores. In any other case, he will not be able to hide his shortcomings.

Recommendations for use

The manufacturer does not provide clear advice on whether or not to use a primer - it’s a purely personal matter. It is not an essential product for everyday use; it can be used on certain occasions. For example, if your lips are chapped, matte lipstick will only emphasize this, and a primer applied underneath will hide all defects. When going to an important event, it would be a good idea to use this foundation to look perfect the whole evening without smearing your lipstick or constantly running around to touch up your makeup. Based on reviews of the Yves Rocher lip primer, it becomes clear that its use will be an advantage when using bright shades of lipstick. They won’t smudge, won’t be eaten halfway, which will look terrible, won’t stain your clothes when hugging friends or your beloved man, in general, all advantages!

Flaws

It is not recommended to use primer every day. Girls write that it tightens their lips and dries them out. Some people write that Yves Rocher barely noticeably dries, others say that it dries very much. Many people feel heaviness and discomfort when applying, but they write that you get used to such sensations quite quickly. There is also another drawback: if you like a wet effect on your lips and buy only such lipsticks, the primer is contraindicated. They write that it makes the color completely matte, as if absorbing all the moisture. Lipsticks become dry on the lips and are harder to apply.

Composition of Yves Rocher lip primer

Recently, most women have been trying to choose cosmetics based on natural ingredients. The Yves Rocher lip primer contains many synthetic and natural substances. It is almost transparent, which guarantees the absence of dyes, has no aroma, which means the manufacturer did not use any fragrances.

The texture of the pencil is soft, but quite dense; it contains natural beeswax. It ensures even application, smoothing out wrinkles, so that the lipstick will lie on the lips more evenly, clearly, without emphasizing the imperfections of the relief.

Shea butter will provide care for the delicate skin of the lips, make them soft, and protect them from overdrying with lipstick, frost and wind.

What is a primer? Use and effect

This product prepares the skin for applying foundation. Even despite its intermediate option (the layer between the dermis and foundation), its role in the art of creating perfect makeup is quite large:

• alignment of relief, tone;
• protecting the skin from adverse environmental conditions (dirt, fumes, exhaust gases, ultraviolet radiation, and so on);
• improving the durability of makeup without clogging pores and distorting colors;
• maintaining the hydro-lipid barrier of the skin;
• comfortable skin condition due to the absence of dryness even a few hours after applying makeup;

How to use Yves Rocher lip primer?

Externally, the product resembles a regular thick lip pencil. It is colorless, but when applied, a barely perceptible whitish layer remains on the lips. Many girls write that the primer that is designed to completely shade the skin of the lips is more convenient to use. It is easy to apply as it is quite soft.

To avoid overdrying, it is recommended to initially use lip balm, and then apply foundation. Lipstick should be applied after applying primer, and not vice versa. If the skin is not prone to dryness, then the balm can be omitted and the foundation can be applied to “bare” lips.

How to apply primer correctly

Applying the primer is quite easy, however, there are several nuances here that help achieve maximum effect from the product:

• The base is always applied to a clean, moisturized face before makeup and not after!
• To use, you need a pea-sized amount of product – no less and no more. If you use more, there is a possibility that the foundation and all subsequent products may roll off or become stained.
• The base can (and in some specific cases must) be applied pointwise to specific problems. If you are using a primer to tighten pores, then apply it to problem areas (usually the chin, forehead, nose and area around the nose).
• The primer is applied exclusively by driving, patting or rubbing movements. Be careful not to stretch the skin during this process, as this can lead to premature wrinkles (especially around the mouth, eyes and nose).
• After you have blended in this beauty product, wait a couple of minutes until it is absorbed, and then you can safely proceed to the next steps of your makeup.
• Synthetic brushes, sponges and fingers are suitable for applying base. The main thing is that before applying primer to your face, squeeze out the required amount first onto the back of your hand. This will warm the product up a little and make it easier to spread over the skin.

Using a primer does not replace foundation, concealer and powder. You cannot replace one remedy with another.

Did consumers like the effect?

Reviews about the Yves Rocher lip primer are only positive, not counting those that write about the disappearance of lipstick shine and tightening of the lips. Girls write that the product is effective, the lipstick lasts a very long time, does not smear, and does not stain dishes. The comments noted that the lipsticks apply more evenly, the color does not deteriorate, since the base is transparent. They also write that by using this product, you can actually save on purchasing lipsticks, since you wear them much less often. There are reviews that say that you don’t have to spend money on buying fashionable matte shades, which are always more expensive than usual, since any product becomes one!
