Lipstick

Lipstick is a cosmetic product made of different pigments, oils, waxes and emollient to provide color, moisturizing and protection to the lips. Waxes give the solid lipsticks the structure. Lipsticks can be made from a number of waxes like beeswax, ozokerite, and candelilla wax. The oil is what gives the shine and translucent effect shine to the lipstick. Various types of oils are used in lipstick such as castor oil, vegetable oil, lanolin, and mineral oil. The most versatile and popular makeup beauty item is lipsticks. They have been around for centuries. Change in terms of colors, finishes and textures that it comes with is just testament to that fact. One can typically find it in a wide variety of colors and finishes like matte, satin, glossy, and sheer. 

Let's describe various types of lipsticks.

Matte Lipstick

Matte lipstick is a kind of lip makeup that is famous for its all day long-lasting ability and has proved to be very ideal to wear by those who prefer a sophisticated style. Matte lipsticks exhibit deep color and long wear formulation worth comfy wear.  Matte lipsticks are transfer-proof, which means they leave no stains on clothes.  Available in a range of colors from nudes and pinks to richer colors like maroon and brown. 

Creamy lipstick

Creamy lipsticks are known to have a very smooth, creamy texture. These lipsticks glide on with ease onto your lips and are thicker than sheer or satin lipsticks. Perfect for people with dry lips because they don't dry the lips and are also very moisturizing. Creamy lipsticks work really well for day and night make-up and lend subtle glamour to your overall look. Cream lipstick is typically very deep or rich shades because they are more adaptable to a lot of skin tones. 

Satin lipstick

The satin lipstick is a midway textured lipstick between matte and creamy. Elegantly satin lips provide a hydrated and soft look to the lips for the no-makeup makeup days-they wear that subtle sheen with which your lips look healthy and plump. Satin lipsticks are available in different types of lipstick shades from the lightest pinks to the dark bold reds. Satin lipsticks do the job for people with a subtle sheen who do not want to go for the ultra matte finish.

Glossy Lipstick

This is basically a semi-transparent lip balm. They are very light in color and give the wearer a shine as if the lips were dipped in some kind of glossiness. Glossy lipsticks are mostly lip moisturizers, and they can be used directly from the tube or with a brush for precision. The good side about these is that they keep your lips well hydrated throughout the day. Such lip products are meant for shine and little color in the lips. Bright lipstick is a good option for formal occasions or evening outings.

Sheer Lipstick

For people who want a natural or subtle appearance, sheer lipsticks are the best products. They add a little color to the lips without overpowering it. It contains more oil than any other finish, so it does not cling on to flaky lips and dries them. If you would like to make the barely-there look stronger at some point, you can apply it directly on top of other lip products.

Apply sheer lipstick directly to your lips. You can enhance the color for a darker shade, or you can keep it lighter for a natural finish. Mini lipsticks with a transparent finish provide a handy option for on-the-go touch-ups during the day.

Tinted Balm

Tinted balms work to moisturize your lips and provide a touch of tinting. Through the process of moisturizing, they humectify the lips with hydrating ingredients and seal in the loss of moisture by creating a barrier. They are perfect for natural, everyday looks and can be built up for more intensity. Lip tints are amazing for people who like a subtle hint of color, being lightweight and comfortable.

Apply the lip tint directly onto your lips, blend by using your fingers to create an organic appearance. You can apply a layer of tint to get a more vibrant color.

Lip Liner

Lip liners are defined as products which are cosmetics and used to define or outline the lips before the application of lipstick or lip gloss. It can help to even out roughness at the outer corners of the lips before the lipstick application and give a line around the lips to hold lipstick in the position and not to run out, making more contrast and the fuller look of the lips. 

Lip liner is made with or without the match lip color. If lip liner is applied alone, then it is better to choose a product, gliding smoothly onto the lips and blended with a lip brush. 

Lip Crayons

Lip crayons are great for anything and easy to use. It offers lipstick shade with the precision of a lip liner. These are the best touch-up weapons as they allow precise application and are excellent for creating sharp lip layering. Most crayon lipsticks provide super pigmentation so that the user can benefit from long-wear colors, ranging from bold to light. These easy fading, silky matte finished, soft-textured lip color variations make an awesome choice for daily wear and subtle makeup looks.

Apply lip crayon starting right at the center of your lips and then moving outwards. Use the point of the crayon to define the edges of your lips.
