Lipstick is one of the most popular gifts on March 8, and an almost mandatory item in a women's cosmetic bag. So, the quality of lipstick is important, because it must be not only persistent and pleasant in appearance, but also safe.
However, "by eye" the quality of a particular lipstick can not be determined. And then experts from Roskachestvo came to the rescue. On the eve of International Women's Day, they tested 20 samples of women's lipstick and selected the five best of them. And we present this selection of the best lipstick to your attention.
5. Givenchy Le Rouge Deep Velvet
Price - 2,405.5 rubles.
Production - France.
This matte lipstick can not be called cheap, neither in price nor in content. It is smooth, uniform and evenly colored, and contains such beneficial components as Vitamin E (in small amounts) and South African Acmella flower extract, which smoothes lips.
Also note the beautiful body of this lipstick, made of velvet.
Researchers did not find any potentially dangerous substances in it, it does not irritate the lips and mucous membranes, and does not cause allergies when used. Le Rouge Deep Velvet sticks firmly to the lips (up to 12 hours or before eating, as one of the users expressed in its review), does not spread over the contour, does not emphasize small irregularities of the lips and has such a useful quality as frost resistance, which means it won’t lose its qualities in the cold season.
4. NYX Mat Rouge a Levres
It costs 570 rubles.
Country of origin - Taiwan.
It is even amazing how such a budget option fell into the ranking of the best lipstick of 2020. But the fact is the fact: despite the low price, Mat Rouge a Levres is ideal for organoleptic properties, sanitary and hygienic indicators and does not pose any microbiological danger.
The lipstick contains vitamin E, but it is not too much and it will not have a significant effect on the lips, according to experts of the Roskachestvo. The lipstick itself easily lies on the lips, does not form lumps and is characterized by medium durability. Its coverage is quite dense, so you don’t have to apply layer after layer in an attempt to achieve a brighter color.
The packaging of this product is not as beautiful as that of the fifth issue, Givenchy Le Rouge Deep Velvet, but it is durable and airtight.
3. MAC Matte Lipstick
How much is 1550 rubles.
Where they produce it - in Belgium.
Strong middling price and one of the highest quality lipsticks on the Russian market. In terms of organoleptic and microbiological properties, as well as sanitary and hygienic safety, the Belgian has solid fives.
But with the composition is not so good. According to an analysis on the Ecogolic website, MAC Matte Lipstick contains potentially harmful substances such as ozokerite, polyethylene terephthalate, phenyltrimethicone, isononyl isononanoate and acrylate copolymer. They can cause skin irritation.
Otherwise, this lipstick is fine. It has a uniform consistency, easily lies down and holds well throughout the day, tolerates cold, does not slip into nasty lumps on the lips. However, it can slightly dry the lips, like other matte lipsticks. The primer solves this problem.
2. Artdeco Perfect mat lipstick
You can buy for 844 rubles.
Country of origin - Germany.
The production of this matte lipstick went high-quality raw materials, it is impeccable in microbiological and sanitary-hygienic indicators, gently lies on the lips and does not form lumps. The velvety texture, noble colors and a subtle pleasant fragrance immediately distinguish this lipstick from others.
However, in this tool for the lips (however, as in most others) contains potentially harmful substances that did not like testers Roskachestva.
If you look at the Ecologist website and test the composition of Perfect mat lipstick, you will find such components as polyisobutene, dimethicone, propylene carbonate and several other substances that can clog pores and cause irritation to the skin.
1. ESTEE LAUDER Pure color envy matte sculpting lipstick
The cost of lipstick is 2380 rubles.
Made in Belgium.
The best lipstick of 2020 deserved five-star ratings for all indicators - from microbiological and sanitary-hygienic to organoleptic, safety and the content of potentially harmful substances.
It has a creamy texture, does not spread on the lips, has good frost resistance and lays on gently, without emphasizing peeling. The fragrance is light and sweet not felt after application, and the color is saturated and bright, with one touch.
Note that all three copies, included in the top 3 of the highest quality lipsticks according to Roskachestvo, correspond to the leading standard of the Russian quality system. That is, they meet the requirements for goods that in the future will be able to qualify for the state Russian quality mark. However, due to their foreign origin, all three lipsticks will not be able to receive the RF Quality Mark.
The best lipstick for the lips of the Russian manufacturer and the brand of the worst lipsticks of 2020
None of the lipsticks of Russian origin could enter the top five. The closest to the winners was the Faberlic Matte lipstick first lady lipstick, which scored 3.68 points (8th place).
And this is an excellent result for a budget product that costs only 239 rubles. Lipsticks of more expensive brands - Chanel Rouge allure velvet extreme and Lancome Labsolu Rouge drama matte - turned out to be outsiders who are beautiful only on the outside and are not very high in composition (in particular, they contain a large amount of potentially harmful substances).
