How to Choose the Perfect Gloss For Your Lips

What is lip gloss? It is a product used in cosmetology to add a bit of color and some shine to a person’s lips. Sometimes its form is liquid; sometimes it is solid, but simple-to- apply. And the greatest news is that no gloss requires any prep work, comparing to lipstick, which makes it very convenient to reapply it during a day. So, are you lured into going for gloss once again? Th en let’s discuss how to pick the ideal gloss for you.

Tip 1. Start with figuring out whether you will wear it on top of lipstick or instead of one. Transparent gloss will appear fine on top of lipstick, while colored gloss will look just great on its own. Colored gloss will guarantee color as well as shine. Such gloss is either sheer or full color.

The sheer gloss is half-transparent, while the full color gloss is almost like liquid lipstick when it comes to the extent of pigmentation.

Transparent or half-transparent gloss will work great in case you wear vivid eyeshadow. So, as you can see, you need to take every aspect of your makeup into consideration.

Tip 2. Retail assistants are taught to help customers choose the best colors that can flatter their face. So, when picking colored gloss, ask the shop assistant which gloss shades will work for you.

Tip 3. Here are the most common lip gloss flavors: spearmint, peppermint, grape, strawberry, and cherry. If the flavor of the gloss is important to you, be sure to pick the one that suits your taste. And keep in mind that even the best colored lip gloss might smell like soap even through the label says wild berry. So, don’t keep your hopes up and don’t splurge on flavored gloss. Pick the best inexpensive lip gloss with flavor instead.

Tip 4. Which is the best container for your lifestyle? Th ere are many forms of lip gloss, for example, squeeze tubes, plastic tubes designed with a soft brush, glass tubes designed with a special roll, hard sticks with a so-called rub-on feature and small pots. Try them all to find out which ones work best for you.

Tip 5. Different occasions require different types of lip gloss. Pick transparent lip gloss for work or school, especially if there is a strict dress code to follow. And liquid lustre lip gloss or colored gloss are great options for nights out and dates. Long lasting gloss with SPF is your best bet for outdoor activities.

As you can see, there are many factors to keep in mind. One more important thing, always read the label before buying the gloss. Not all producers are our friends. Some of them put their profits before the customers’ health. So, check what you buy before making a purchase.
