Cristina Cordula’s favorite lipstick colors

“I like fresh colors in peach and pink tones” explains the host. Shades with warm undertones, ideal for awakening the radiance of the complexion and giving you a healthy glow. When it comes to texture, Cristina Cordula tells us she prefers moisturizing formulas “more pleasant” to wear. This is why she chose to create, with her brand Magnifaïk, real care lipsticks, enriched with acai oil and mango butter.

Cristina Cordula also likes to wear slightly brighter lipstick colors, especially in spring-summer: “the peach color and coral red color give a good look”. Shades that she often combines with slightly lighter eye makeup and an ultra-luminous complexion. The host is also a big fan of nude tones, which she wears with a slightly glossy finish to create a plumping effect.

Dark colors can also make the mouth appear thinner and give it a “pursed” look. To be avoided after the age of 50… The expert also advises not to skip the step of preparing the lips: exfoliation, hydration, but also drawing the contours with a pencil: “It is essential to make a slight outline same color as lipstick”.

A tip that helps prolong the wear of the lipstick and prevents the material from slipping into fine lines during the day. When applied correctly, the lip contour pencil can also give a slight plumping effect to the mouth, or camouflage a small asymmetry. Choose it the same color as your lipstick, or one to two shades darker if you want to create an ombré effect. In this case, take care to blend the material towards the inside of the lips with a small brush, to avoid color lines.
