No thanks!
We are used to thinking that, after a certain age, you can only wear neutral, pale pink and flesh-colored colors with a creamy finish. But no! The problem is not the color of the lipstick, but its application. Whether you use a warm brown, a pinkish nude, a geranium color or a bright red, the important thing is to best outline the lips . In fact, it is essential that the lipstick does not end up in the crease and does not move and for this reason a matching lip pencil should always be used . In doing so, the wax inside will act as a barrier and will not let the lipstick come out. Apply it now with a brush , to be more precise and unload the excess on a tissue. The best textures are thoseopaque but not too dry, creamier , so as not to mark the lips too much and not make them appear full of folds.
