What are the dangers of using lipstick as blush

Nowadays, many girls use lipstick instead of blush when putting on makeup for the sake of convenience or trouble-freeness. Although it looks the same and beautiful, lipstick and blush are made of different materials after all, and each has its own uses. If they can be easily mixed, wouldn’t it be enough to just produce one? Therefore, lipstick cannot be used to replace blush on the face. The specific reasons are as follows:

The difference between lipstick and blush :

The ingredients of lipstick generally include lanolin, wax, pigments, flavors, etc. As a cosmetic product, when making it, more emphasis is placed on color saturation and glossiness, so relatively fewer nutrients are added. Moreover, the nutrients added can only moisturize and protect the lips. It is designed for the lip skin, so it cannot provide any protection for the facial skin. Therefore, the two cannot be confused or replaced with each other.

What are the disadvantages of using lipstick as blush?

1. Lipstick can easily clog skin pores

The skin on the face and lips is different, and lipstick mainly contains lanolin, pigments, waxes and other ingredients. Among them, lanolin is an allergenic substance. If it often comes into contact with the facial skin, it can easily cause adverse allergic reactions.

In addition, most lipsticks are greasy, bright and pure in color. At the same time, the pigments and lanolin contained in lipsticks are rejected by the skin. Therefore, if you often use lipstick as blush, your skin pores will be clogged with greasy ingredients.

2. It will cause facial skin pigmentation

We have emphasized above that the skin on the face and the skin on the lips are very different in structure. The skin on the lips is very thin and has no hair follicles, sweat glands or sebaceous glands. This is why the lips appear red. It can also withstand the lanolin, wax and other substances in lipstick, but the skin on the face is different;

Our facial skin has pores that need to breathe and absorb moisture. If you use lipstick as blush, the oil on your face cannot stand it. It will be absorbed into the skin over time, causing pores to become clogged and skin to become burdened. The pigment will also settle into the skin, causing dark spots.

Therefore, if you are lucky enough to see a girl who often uses lipstick as blush without makeup, you will definitely find that the skin on her cheeks is darker than that of ordinary people. The texture of blush is mostly dry solid powder, which is gentle, delicate, smooth and light.

3. It can easily cause makeup embarrassment

The texture of lipstick is relatively greasy and not as delicate and soft as blush. Therefore, if you use lipstick as blush, especially for girls who are new to makeup, it is easy to make the blush area stiff and abrupt due to poor control of the color blending transition, resulting in an embarrassing makeup look.
