Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color and texture to the lips. Like lipstick, lip gloss comes in a variety of forms and may be applied in different ways. It can be contained in a small cylindrical bottle and applied with a rounded or sloped applicator wand, be applied with a built in lipbrush, or a small tube designed for application with the fingertip.

Lipsticks are the most commonly used lip make-up. They come in a variety of colours.The colour you use should harmonise not only with the rest of the make-up but with your attire and with the rest of you as well. Remember pale skins would need soft colours while darker skins can carry off the more vibrant shades. Most lipsticks consist of a fatty base to ensure that the product stays firm and solid. At the same time, efforts are made to make the product soft enough to cover the lips smoothly and with the minimum of pressure.

Do not match your lipstick to your eyeshadow or clothing. Choose the best color for you based on your skin and hair coloring! Try using a lip brush. If the lipstick color doesn't show up on the brush then try putting a little bit of lipgloss on the brush ans then get the lipstick on it.

Dab a bit of foundation or concealer on your lips. A little goes a long way so just apply the tiniest bit on. Make sure that you pat it on, rather than rub it in. Blend it outward to the rest of the skin around your lips for the most natural look.

Apply lip gloss over lipstick or alone. Remember that gloss would emphasize and therefore make your lips appear to be fuller.Women with extra-full lips, should use lip gloss very sparingly.
