Choosing what to
apply in one’s lips and in the process add to the overall look can be a
complicated experience for women. While choosing makeup products can leave
women stressed and torn, the process can be fun and liberating. And to enjoy the best experience, it pays to
know what to apply in the face particularly in one’s lips, and to discover the
differences as well.
Add character to a look using lipstick
There was a time
when lipsticks are available in full matte colors like red. Today, lipsticks
are available in a variety of packages, colors and varieties to suit everyone’s
taste. There are at least three varieties available that include frosted,
creamy and matte. Matte lipstick is recommended for women looking for flat
color, and a shade that can lasts for hours. Also, this type of lipstick works
for women with bigger lips. While the striking shade can lasts for hours and
can showcase that amazing ‘pout’, matte lipstick will often leave lips dry.
Frosted lipstick is
another variety available in the market, and works best in showcasing a fuller
pout and a lot of shimmer. And for some with drier lips, the creamy version of
lipstick works as a great alternative.
An extra shimmer and fruity flavor
Compared with
lipstick, lip gloss can be a versatile addition to the makeup kit. Lip gloss
can be used as a stand-alone product, like adding an extra shimmer into one’s
lips. Also, this can work with traditional lip stick. After applying lipstick, you
can apply a layer of lip gloss to add an extra shimmer in the lips. Also, the addition
of an extra layer of lip gloss can moisturize dry lips. another attraction of
commercial lip glosses is the flavors- these are available in fruity flavors
thus making it fun to wear these. While lip glosses work in adding shimmer and
fun into your makeup, it also dries up easily thus requiring constant
re-application.
Lip gloss and
lipstick are ‘regulars’ in the makeup kits of many fashionable women. Both can
work in adding a dash of style and character into one’s makeup. For lipstick,
it’s best to wear this for work or when attending a social function in the
evening or just about any time when you to look ‘done’. Gloss on the other hand
is a perfect choice for ‘fun weekends’ when you want to let loose, and bring
the attention to your eyes.
