Different Types Types of of Lipstick Lipstick

When choosing a lipstick,
it's not only the color that
you choose that matters. Do
you want your lips to be
glossy, sheer, dramatic,
long-lasting, lustre? It's
important to know what
these words mean before
going to make your
purchase, or you will be
very confused once you get
there. The type of lipstick
will also have an impact on
the way the color looks on
you, so it's worthwhile to
know what the different
types of lipsticks are. Below
are the different categories
of lipstick and the
advantages.
Matte: No, this isn't a man's
name. Lipstick that is matte
means that the color is flat
and not shiny. This usually
includes the strongest and
darkest colors of lipstick.
Matte lipstick usually lasts
longer than shiny and other
types of lipstick. There is no
moisture added to matte
lipstick, so if your lips are
dry, flaky or too thin, then
matte lipstick may not be
flattering on you. Put on a
little chapstick before, and
some gloss after.
Gloss: This can be worn
with or without lipstick.
Gloss is great by itself on
darker skin tones, but tends
to make light skin tones
look washed out. Gloss
adds a lot of plumpness and
shine to lips, so it's great for
women with thin lips. For
more plump effect, first put
on lip liner, then add the lip
gloss and smudge your lips
until you get desired
plumpness.
Long Lasting: Long lasting
lipstick can be great when
used correctly, otherwise it
could be a little messy
especially if it's a dark color.
Long lasting lipsticks tend to
make the lips a little dry, so
I find that the best kind of
long lasting lipsticks are the
two part lipsticks which
contain the lipstick on one
end and a gloss on the
other. First put on the
lipstick, then the gloss. If
you really want it to last a
long time, wait for the first
coat to finish and do
another layer of color and
gloss. I know people who
do this four times! You
probably won't need to
reapply the color, but you
can reapply the gloss
throughout the day to keep
the color refreshed. The
color should stay on for as
long as you keep it there
and will need to be
removed with a good make
up remover. Make sure that
it's really off before you
wipe your face, or your
towel will be stained with
your lip color.
Lipstick is a beauty product
that you are likely to use
often, so it may be worth it
to look into getting your
favorite shades in bulk or
wholesale. This will definitely
save you money, and
lipstick is always a great gift
for the holidays.
