The Look
Lipstick: Deeply pigmented, no-doubt-about-it color. Whether you go fora decadent red or a demure nude, the full-coverage effect is
ladylike and polished. The most common formulations are matte
and creamy, but new versions render a luminous finish because
the low to medium coverage also has the shine of a gloss.
Gloss: A single wave of the wand bestows a juicy, often sheer shade
- plus a generous dose of sheen.
Where to Wear It
Lipstick: Ideal for evening, work, or anytime you want to look put together or "done."
Gloss: Weekends and nights out when you'd rather play up your eyes.
(Smoky lids with bold lips looks a little too beauty queen–ish.)
Pout Perks
Lipstick: Precise application ensures that your mouth looks defined- a bonus as you get older and lips become less pronounced.
Gloss: The sheer stuff makes your pucker appear fuller. Just a dab
of clear gloss on the center of your bottom lip creates a
voluptuous effect.
Durability
Lipstick: The average lipstick stays put for two hours, less if you're sipping lattes (steamy drinks melt away color-binding waxes) or
devouring potato chips (greasy foods require mouth wiping).
Gloss: Gloss is fleeting, but not all formulas have wanderlust.
For extra insurance, it's suggests moisturizing your lips with a
shea butter lip balm before topping them with gloss. The color
will adhere better to the balm's waxiness.
I prefer lip gloss, which is yours?
