Five Types Of Lipstick Every Woman Should Own

Lipstick is an absolute makeup essential that can turn your look around in so many ways. From making you look like all girly with peachy just-kissed lips to a dazzling damsel with wine red pout – lipsticks can work wonders for you! The huge variety of lipsticks can be mindboggling as there are so many textures, types and shades to choose from. Just try shopping online and you will get lost among the myriad lip crayons, lip glosses, lip stains, tinted lip balms and other types of lipsticks. But do you know which one is perfect for a day out with the girls, which one is perfect for office and what’s the best type of lipstick for a party? Here’s a handy guide that will help you out!

Sheer Lipsticks

So you want a lipstick that’s perfect for everyday wear? One that makes you look pretty but not made up? Then go for a sheer lipstick as it stays for a longer time due to its higher oil content and its sheer look means that you can have a hint of colour plus a light shiny look that’s great for day and night. The only thing that you have to take care of is reapplying it often when you feel that the colour is fading a bit. There are many brands that offer sheer lipsticks.

Cream Lipsticks

If your lips dry out frequently and you want a well-defined long stay lipstick then go for Cream Lipsticks. These glide on smoothly and stay for a longer time since they have a high wax content. Cream Lipsticks usually have aloe vera and vitamin E, which nourish your lips all day long. So they are great for all-day outings and office wear too!

Gloss Lipsticks

Who doesn’t love glossy lipsticks? Whether it is for a party or for a fresh daytime look, you can experiment a lot with the gloss look too. Lip Glosses look very attractive and are perfect for those women who do not like heavily pigmented shades on their lips.

Lipstick Stains

Not many of us use Lip Stains but why not? We usually end up buying the same old tube lipsticks but if you want solid colour with less shiny look, lip stains are the best bet. They are lighter than matte formulations and give you a lively colour that you can also layer with another shade. So for those days when you have to head straight to an outing after work, just put on your favourite shade of lip stain and you are good to go.

Confused where to begin? Try out this amazing moisture stain from Revlon or buy this nice lipstick stain by Incolour.

Matte Lipsticks

Matte lipsticks are the eternal favourite of many girls and women because A) They are long lasting so no need for frequent touch ups. B) They offer a well-defined shape to your lips and don’t bleed out. But the only problem with them is that although you don’t need to reapply them, you do need to prep up and moisturise your lips before application or they dry out. But the best part is that they are oh-so smudge-proof that you can have your cuppa coffee without worrying about leaving a kiss sign on it.

Want a matte lipstick that dries out fast and stays on until you decide to remove it? Then go for the range of Matte Liquid Lipsticks by Sugar. You won’t be disappointed with its quality and price.
