Make Up Games and Lipstick


Lipstick has come and gone in popularity over the years. Just a generation ago, lipstick was the most commonly cited make up item. Lips were bright red and lovely with clear, bright eyes. Today we do our lips in a more natural shade most of the time, and finding a lipstick that works with your skin tone and make up choices is more complicated than ever. There are simply so many choices:

Lipsticks – The traditional lipstick is still available and there are more colors than ever. When you buy a lipstick, you can get the basics, or you can upgrade to a lipstick that stays in place or one that does extra duty moisturizing your lips.

Lip Glosses – The cousin of lipstick, lip glosses are shiny and bright. They are youthful and fun to wear since they aren’t as bright. They have a more natural appeal than the darker, thicker lip glosses, but aren’t always appropriate if you’re pulling together an evening look.

Combination Lip Wear – Finally, some make up games aren’t complete without a combination of lipstick and gloss. The lipstick goes on first and then a special gloss goes on over the lipstick. The combined effect is one of bright, shiny lips that are lovely and absolutely kissable.
