Stick VS. Gloss
Between my friends and I our preference on either choosing lipstick or lipgloss is evenly divided. My personal preference is gloss; however, I love the look some girls get from wearing lipstick.
Here are some comparisons on the two...who knows it might even have you swinging both ways!
The Look:
Lipstick, deeply pigmented for all-about-it-color. The finished effect is lady-like and polished. The most common formulations are matte or creamy.
Lipgloss, with the single wave of the wand you are getting a juicy, sheer shade and sometimes a dose of sheen.
Where to Wear:
Lipstick, ideal for evening, work or anytime you want to put a look "together."
Lipgloss, weekends or nights out when you'd rather play up your eyes (don't wanna look too beauty queen-ish)
Stand the test:
Lipstick, the average lipstick stays for 2 hrs. (less if your sipping lattes) Look for lipstick with a topcoat and that will keep your lips loaded with color for longer.
Lipgloss, seems to wear off quickly; however, I've noticed by putting on a lip balm before you put your gloss on makes it stay longer. The color will adhere to the waxiness.
Age:
Lipstick, main flaw being it can bleed and settle into fine lines.
Lipgloss, glittery pink glosses are cool...if your in high school. For a more sophisticated look, try (non sparkly) neutrals with a hint of peach, rose or caramel. You can also wear a sheer tinted lip balm, it will enhance the color of your lips with a healthy dose of sheen that last longer than gloss.
Pout perks:
Lipstick, gives precise application which ensures that your mouth looks defined. This is a bonus as you get older because your lips become less pronounced.
Lipgloss, the sheer stuff makes your pucker looks fuller. A dab of clear gloss on your bottom lip creates a voluminous look.
Do you have a preference? Lipstick or lipgloss and why?
