The cosmetic industry offers new products to the fair sex almost every day. Lip lacquer has recently been popular with fashionistas, so it’s not surprising if it soon replaces the usual gloss and lipstick from a woman’s cosmetic bag.

Most of us associate the word "varnish" with a chemical, persistent and harmful substance. For this reason, not all girls and women trust such products and dare to boldly apply them to such a sensitive area.

However, manufacturers of cosmetic products assure lovely ladies of its safety and the many advantages of this decorative cosmetics.

What is lip polish?

The idea of ​​creating a varnish is not as new as many people think. For the first time, such products were created in 2009 by Chanel and Lancome, which presented to the general public such products as Rouge Allure Laque and la Laque Fever. This cosmetics has incorporated the best properties of lipstick and gloss, and even surpassed them several times.

Unfortunately, the novelty did not find its supporters, despite the possibility of combining creamy texture and color fastness in one product. According to the girls' reviews, such lipstick-varnishes for lips, developed by world-famous companies, dried the skin, jammed into folds, creating unpleasant sensations.

The color fastness and shine did not allow the varnishes to take root, however, such a development gave birth to the idea of ​​a revolutionary concept, which soon was able to give the world a unique product that combines the advantages of gloss and lipstick.

The lipstick is well applied to the lips, favorably emphasizes their shape, holds firm and looks more aristocratic and more expensive. But many girls call such disadvantages of using lipstick as dry and chapped lips. Makeup artists note that shine always looks more natural and moisturizes the skin well.

The competition between these two means continued all the time, but none of them ceased to exist and found its admirers.

Gloss is, in fact, a liquid lipstick that has such main benefits as:

  • easy application;
  • amazing shine;
  • firmness;
  • color saturation.

Professional make-up artists prefer this particular lip cosmetics and give their recommendations on how to apply gloss. If you apply it in several layers, then the color will be brighter.

Women who, in order to moisturize the skin, are accustomed to applying balm under lipstick, will have to give it up, otherwise the varnish will simply float.

How to choose a long-lasting lip polish

The requirements for this new product in the cosmetic industry are quite high. If earlier shine was perceived as a short-lived glossy coating, now this demanded product allows you to maintain its durability and shine for a long time.


The main task of the new product is to moisturize the lips, and since classic lipsticks dry out the skin, leading manufacturers have solved this problem by releasing a long-lasting glossy shine.

Varnish and gloss are one and the same product, the only difference between cosmetics is that the former, due to its rich pigmentation, has more similarities to lipstick.

The declared quality of modern products of even the most famous brands does not always correspond to reality. That is why, when buying a varnish, check its quality with a tester. Apply it on your hand, wait a minute and try to wipe it off: if the quality of the product is high, it will not wear off.

The most durable cosmetics

Many fashionistas liked the shine Clinique Long Last Glosswear, which they liked for its durability and color saturation. Indeed, from the moment of application of the coating, the product lasts up to 8 hours, while the skin remains well hydrated, does not dry out and does not crack.

The high durability of cosmetics is due to its composition, which includes components that create a strong film. This varnish is especially good to use in the summer season, since the complex of sunscreen agents present in its composition protects delicate skin from the effects of ultraviolet radiation.

A varnish such as Bourjois Effet 3D MAX 8H also deserves your attention. It has a slightly lower durability, but it compensates for the ideal color saturation.

Choose this product for a handy applicator for perfect application of lipstick, long-lasting deep hydration and extra volume for a seductive lip.

Varnish is also a good choice. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture presented with a wide palette of rich and vibrant colors. Also, the product is highly durable and easy to apply.

Estee Lauder is the right solution for women who want color fastness, sufficient hydration and amazing shine in one product.

Lipstick is endowed with the following benefits:

  • Lightweight varnish will fill your lips with a sparkling glow;
  • Color pigments will give them saturation;
  • Vitamins C and D will have a caring effect on the skin;
  • The creamy and moisturizing texture will give you a feeling of comfort, and the skin - long-lasting hydration;
  • Provides a sparkling glow for 6 hours;
  • The specially designed shape of the applicator allows for easy application of the cosmetic, creating a perfect lip curve.

Vernis a Levres is a gloss that, thanks to its innovative, ultra-light, water-based formula, will give your lips a non-sticky, radiant and long-wearing finish.

Applying the product will provide an unrivaled feeling of comfort and self-confidence. The varnish is precisely and easily applied using the convenient applicator of the original patented shape.

This is not the whole list of quality cosmetics that combine the properties of lipstick and gloss.

If you have not used lip gloss before, in order to fully manifest all the positive properties of this cosmetic product, take into account the recommendations of makeup artists. To increase the durability of the product, lubricate your lips with a small amount of foundation before applying it.


Start to paint your lips from the middle, then make a couple of chewing movements, and only then go over their contour with the applicator. Doing this will help you avoid applying too thick a layer that can cause discomfort.

Lipstick is a product that is based on a lip liner, while varnish is a glossy finish that is used with a brush.

The idea of ​​an innovative product emerged a couple of years ago. The Lancome and Chanel brands presented lip lacquers, but, unfortunately, at that time they did not become trendy, on the contrary, they were very dry and tightened the skin. Probably, they just needed time. But, now the improved formula of lacquer lipsticks captivates at first sight. Why? The glossy texture feels like a moisturizing balm on the skin. With one product, you get long-lasting pigment and lip protection. Manufacturers can add hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and other components to the composition.

Lip varnish, unlike lipstick, should not contain wax.
