From the perspective of makeup
Reduce the effects of oil: The skin on the lips naturally secretes oil, which will gradually float to the surface of the lips over time. If the makeup is not fixed after applying the lip concealer, the oil will slowly dissolve the concealer product, resulting in a major discount in the concealer effect, and the concealer makeup removal and mottling will occur. The setting powder can absorb these oils and form a relatively dry environment on the lips, so that the concealer can better adhere to the lips, thus extending the time of makeup. For example, in the hot summer or oily skin people, oil secretion is more vigorous, setting makeup is especially important to maintain the integrity of the lip concealer.
Resist water interference: In our daily life, our lips will come into contact with various kinds of water, such as water vapor when drinking water, saliva produced when talking. If this moisture comes into contact with the unfinished lip concealer, it may dilute and dissolve the concealer product. The setting powder can form a waterproof barrier on the lips, although it can not be completely waterproof, but to a certain extent, it can reduce the impact of moisture on the concealer, so that the lip concealer is more stable in the face of moisture and maintain makeup effect.
From the concealer effect optimization point of view
Fill in minor imperfections: Even if you apply lip concealer as evenly as possible, due to factors such as the texture of the lip skin itself, concealer products may not be able to completely fill in all the minor bumps and gaps. Setting powder can fill in these tiny unevenness, making the surface of the lips smoother, and the concealer effect more natural and perfect. Visually, it can further cover the original defects of the lips, such as uneven lip color, small spots, etc., so that the skin color of the lips looks more even and pure.
Correct color deviation: Some lip concealers may appear slightly unnatural when first applied, or may not blend well with the color of the skin around the lips. Setting powder is usually a light or transparent color close to skin tone, in the process of setting, it can fine-tune the color of the concealer, so that the concealer and the color of the surrounding skin transition more natural, so that the entire lip makeup looks more harmonious.
In terms of preventing smudging
Enhanced border fixation: During our daily lip activities, such as speaking, smiling, making expressions, etc., the muscle movement of the lips may cause the concealer to spread to the surrounding skin. After applying the lip concealer, the protective film formed by the setting powder can “fix” the concealer within the lip area, reducing the possibility of the concealer staining the skin around the lip, and maintaining the clear boundary and cleanness of the lip makeup. This can avoid the appearance of lip concealer dye to the lip, forming a circle of unnatural dark traces, affecting the overall beauty of the makeup.
Resistance to external friction: In daily life, lips will inevitably have friction with other items, such as contact with masks, cups, etc. Without makeup, concealer products can easily be rubbed off or shifted when rubbed, resulting in damaged lips. After makeup, the surface of the lips is smoother, and the makeup powder can increase the adhesion between the concealer and the lip skin, making the concealer more resistant in the face of friction, reducing the phenomenon of smudge and makeup removal caused by friction.
In terms of creating makeup
Match the matte style: Many of today’s popular lip styles are looking for a matte texture, and setting powder can help absorb the gloss that may be produced by the concealer and subsequent lip products, leaving lips with a soft, delicate matte effect. This matte texture can not only make lips look more advanced and refined, but also match with a variety of makeup styles, such as retro makeup, European makeup, etc., to enhance the fashion sense of the overall makeup.
Improve the degree of integration: The setting powder can be used as a “medium” to make the lip concealer and the subsequent application of lip glaze, lipstick and other makeup products better integrated together. It can form a transition layer between concealer and other lip makeup products, so that the connection between different products is more natural, avoid problems such as layering or color conflict, so that the entire lip makeup is more suitable, lasting, and showing a more perfect makeup effect.
