Types of Lip Color


1. Tinted Lip Balm

These are basically lip balm with some color added which serves as a tint. Gives the most natural effect and great for dry, winter lips.

2. Lip Gloss

Glams up and gives instant shine to the lips. It is a liquid formula but has less staying power than lipstick so you have to keep reapplying. Usually applied to bare lips or on top of your favorite lip liner or lipstick.

3. Lip Liner

Normally used to trace the outer line of our lips or fill them in since they have more staying power than lipsticks. Make sure to use the closest shade to your lipstick and do not over line. Applying a gloss on top will make the lips look bigger and fuller.

4. Lipstick

Comes in sheer, creamy, semi-matte to matte varieties. The most popular type of lip color across all ages because it is the great for everyday use and it comes in more shades than you can think of.

5. Lip Stain

The newest in the lip color range, these are more like markers with a more fluid formula. However, thay have alcohol content which is why they dry out faster than other lip make up. It also gives a long-lasting finish but might dry the lips so you will need to moisturize or exfoliate often.
