The lip makeup trend of this summer has two extremes: a bright, better matte lipstick and a light transparent lip gloss. What to choose? Let's figure it out in our review.
Of course, no one forbids the use of both. It's still helpful to consider the pros and cons of lipsticks and gloss for an easier choice.
To begin with, lipstick is a more understated style. It is appropriate in the office, for those in charge and celebrations... Glitter is perfect for informal everyday life.
Glitter allows you to create a naughty and flirty look and even fits young girls, while lipstick makes its mistress serious or even fatal, moreover, it outlines a clear contour of the lips, and therefore is more suitable for those who are older.
Another important point of comparison is resilience. V summer heat it is undoubtedly important. After a few hours, the lipstick may begin to wear off noticeably in the place where the upper and lower lip and it doesn't look like the best way... You have to tint your lips - which is not easy to do quickly and on the go, or wash your lipstick completely. Gloss is also not always durable, but due to its more transparent color it is not so noticeable. And it's much easier to tweak the shine.
However, there are also very persistent lipsticks. But - and here we are already moving on to the next point of comparison - they can dry the lips. This is not always pleasant. This almost never happens with glitters.
The next important comparison is stickiness. Here lipstick definitely wins - because it is not sticky at all. But the gloss is often just such - therefore, not only loose ones can stick to the lips long hair, but also all sorts of small particles floating in the air.
Of course, you should actually have both in your bag. Moreover, they are in fashion. Lipsticks are matte, even for summer, but the texture of the shine has remained unchanged.
As for the shades, the big trend is berry, scarlet, coral, orange, as well as pink. It is important to note that reds and pinks are perfect for you if you have not yet had time to tan, while oranges perfectly set off tanned skin.
Lipsticks: Burberry, Givenchy, Jane Iredale, Ellis Faas
Lipsticks: Mavala, Shiseido, Estee lauder, Clarins
The lipstick has a dense texture, due to which it perfectly protects lips from chapping even in the most severe frost. The use of gloss in winter is fraught with cracks on the skin of the lips. And here is protection from harmful effects solar radiation can provide both products if they contain SPF filters.
Persistence
The main advantage of lipstick over lip gloss is its durability. She is able to withstand several hours regardless of weather conditions. At the same time, this leads to the lack of lipstick: it begins to wear off at the point of contact of the lips. It does not look aesthetically pleasing, and it is very problematic to fix makeup on the run.Lip gloss lasts less time and wears off just like lipstick. But, thanks to the transparent texture, it is not so striking. In addition, it is quite possible to tint lips with gloss even in the absence of a mirror.
Lip comfort
Lip gloss, due to its liquid texture, imparts a sticky feeling. On the one hand, this can be viewed as positive quality, because the lips are constantly moisturized. On the other hand, it is a big problem v summer period... Everything sticks to the lips: own hair, poplar fluff, dust particles.Lipstick either has no stickiness effect at all, or it is minimized. However, frequent and prolonged use of lipstick can dry out your lips.
What to choose
If you want to accentuate the lips, it is better to use lipstick. Lip gloss is suitable for bright eye makeup. When you want to visually enlarge your lips, again, it is better to do this with lipstick. It is necessary to expand the contour a little, going beyond its borders. With gloss, this technique is also possible, but for this you have to choose a dense texture and use a lip liner.For office work more lipstick will do with a matte texture. It looks more understated than the most neutral lip gloss. Glossy textures and glitters are appropriate for walking, meeting friends, etc. To go out, you can use both lipstick and gloss saturated color and dense texture.
