The difference between lipstick and lip gloss

Usually, many women will apply lipstick or lip gloss when going out, so that they will look better. Mouth makeup is also a very important part of the entire makeup. If it is applied well, it will make you more beautiful. We usually apply lipstick or lip gloss, but do you know the difference between the two? I believe that many people don’t pay too much attention to this issue.

Nowadays, many people pay attention to lip makeup. They will apply lipstick or lip gloss when going out. Sometimes they don’t know which one to apply, and don’t understand the difference between lipstick and lip gloss. Let’s take a look at the difference between the two so that we can better apply lip makeup in daily life.

Lipstick - Lipstick is the original and most common lipstick. It is generally solid and has a drier and harder texture than lip gloss and lip gloss. The lip protection effect and skin feel are not as good as lip gloss and lip gloss. It is not moisturizing enough and often makes people feel that the lips will be dry after 1 hour. Therefore, you must apply lip balm to moisturize your lips before applying lipstick. The advantage of lipstick is that it has high color saturation and strong color covering power. Moreover, since it is solid, it is generally not easy to overflow due to deep lip lines. Using it to modify lip shape and lip color is most appropriate. If you want to create a shiny effect and want to modify your lips to the maximum extent, you can first use lipstick to outline the lips and apply a base, and then apply a transparent or similar color lip gloss or lip gloss to brighten them.

Lip gloss - Generally, the color of lip gloss is thicker than that of lip gloss, with stronger covering power, shiny and moist color, which can add luster to the face and make the lips look plump and shiny.

Solid lip glosses work similarly to lipsticks. Lip gloss with a thinner texture lasts for a shorter time and needs to be touched up every 1 or 2 hours, and it will feel greasy. Thicker and stickier lip gloss lasts longer and needs to be touched up every 3 or 4 hours, for a more sparkling effect. (There seem to be fewer lip glosses with this thicker texture on the market, and most people like lip glosses that are not too sticky, but I personally prefer this kind of stickier lip gloss.) The disadvantage is that it is easy to overflow from the lip lines, thus blurring the lip contour.

Lip gloss - Generally speaking, the color is very light and belongs to the gel type. The visual effect is crystal clear, but the covering power is relatively poor. It is usually used in combination with lipstick in professional makeup, and is rarely used alone. Its advantage is that it is sparkling and suitable for light makeup, transparent makeup or nude makeup. Lip gloss with a thicker texture will have a better shimmering effect than lip gloss with a thinner texture. The disadvantages are: 1. The coverage and color modification of lip color are relatively poor.

There are many cosmetics used for lips, such as lipstick, lip gloss, lip gloss, etc., but female friends generally don’t know the difference between them when using them. If you can know more about the difference between lipstick and lip gloss, you can use these things better. Generally, lip gloss is more favored by many women. The main thing is to choose according to your own preferences.
