1. Tinted Lip Balms
Tinted lip balms are a personal favorite as they combine the nourishing, moisturizing qualities of a lip balm with fun, beautiful colors, it gives the lips a touch of color, hydrates and moisturizes, and sometimes even has certain skincare benefits, such as sun protection or anti-aging. And the tinted lip balm, like other multi-tasking beauty products, is incredibly versatile. For no-makeup makeup looks, you can wear tinted lip balm alone, under lip gloss for moisturizing glitter, or use it to ensure that your matte lipstick lasts without flaking.
2. Lip gloss
By adding glossy luster, a lip gloss will give your lips a striking and beautiful look to your pout and often add subtle color, but not an extreme, solid lip color effect like the lipstick will make. It is transmitted as a liquid or a soft solid and has less staying power than a lipstick. You’ll need to reapply the gloss on your lips again. It is applied to bare lips or on top of the already applied lip makeup (alone lip liner or lip liner plus combination lipstick). Base lip gloss simply adds colorless shine to the lips.
3. Lip Liner
Lip liner, also known as a lip pencil, is a beauty product intended for shaping, lining or filling and improving the lip color wear and intensity. Lip liner is to lipstick what base is the foundation or nail polish is a base coat — it’s not important, but it helps the lipstick look better and last longer. The liner should either be one shade darker than your natural lip color, or a shade darker or lighter than your lipstick or Lip gloss. Do not go too far to have full lips line your lips just beyond the outer edges — you always want your lips to appear natural.
4. Matte lipstick
Matte is a Matte finish which means creamy without shine, without texture. Likewise, matte lipsticks are the ones in texture that are smooth and velvety but don’t bring any shine. Matte lipstick is non-glossy. Matte lipstick is the way to go when it comes to a statement-making pout. The substance leaves a velvety finish to the lip that stops people in their tracks. Matte lips are not the easiest look to pull off, from hot pinks to dark burgundies, but they look perfect when you do. Matte lipsticks need a more professional hand to apply but pigment strength far outweighs the effort and they are perfect for a more dressed look.
5. lip stain
A lip stain is a lip product in which the skin absorbs the color and does not form a coating over the lips as lipsticks do. “Because lip stains work through getting into the skin’s outer layer, they tend to have long-lasting color properties, Lip stain lasts the whole day — at least 8-12 hours. But, if you eat and drink a lot you may notice a slight fading. Lip stains can be very drying, so a moisturizing balm is best applied first.
6. Sheer lipstick
Sheer lipstick is a product made with very little tint for the lips. a sheer lipstick would simply give the natural color of the lips a color tone and a bit of shine. This kind of lighter lipstick is often commonly used by women who want to make their makeup appear more normal. Coupled with other similar cosmetics, sheer lipstick may give a polished, pulled-together look to a woman, while not making it instantly obvious that she is wearing makeup.
