Whats the difference between lipstick and lip gloss?

Lipsticks have more colour intensity and are reasonably matte or thick when applied to the lips while lip gloss will add a slick lustre making your lips look almost constantly wet and glossy. Lipsticks like lipliners define the lips whereas lip gloss adds a glistening and fresh look.

What is the purpose of lip gloss?

Lip gloss adds more volume and gives the impression of fuller lips. Lip gloss can be applied on your lips after you’ve put on your lipstick.

How to apply lip gloss?

Try to choose a good lip gloss, preferably with an SPF. Apply with a brush in the middle of your bottom lip and then rub your lips together. Blot with a tissue and then re-apply.

Make sure you don’t apply lip gloss outside of your lip line. To prevent the gloss goo stuff from getting onto your teeth, put your finger inside your mouth and pull it out afterwards. You can dust a little powder on your lips to make the gloss stay longer on your lips. Make sure you throw your lip gloss away after 4 months.

Corals or the orangy colours are big this season but pinks are versatile and can be used any time of the year to create luscious lips. Deep or dark colour glosses look good on olive and dark skin tones. According to one famous make up artist, the trick in finding your perfect lip colour in lipstick or gloss is to select a product that’s one or two shades darker than your natural lip colour. But, whatever you choose, wear it with confidence.
