4 Tips For Choosing The Right Lip Gloss

Perfection is 10 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, as the saying goes. So finding the lip gloss that best matches one's lip color and tone is a task that involves patience, tenacity, and a little (just a little) luck. Hopefully, the following suggestions will increase your chances of finding the lip gloss that best suits your lips.

1. Be open-minded and try new things!

Lip gloss comes in a variety of brands, with varying pricing. A $7 lip gloss from your local drugstore isn't always inferior to an $18 Poole lip gloss compact in terms of quality. Lips could only enjoy the gloss's texture, smoothness, and silkiness, not its heaviness, stickiness, or ickiness. Lips don't care how much lip gloss costs or where it was purchased. Though high-end lip glosses might have a super-glossy sensation that nearly slides wonderfully on the lips, there are also less-priced lip glosses like Bonne Bell that can compete with the high-end brands. It's not all about the label. Dollar stores can occasionally provide a nice find. It's all worth a dollar whether you win or lose. However, if purchasing from a pharmacy or Wal-Mart, ensure that you have done considerable research on the lip gloss product you are considering purchasing, as drugstores do not provide testers.

2. Gloss Doesn't Last Forever

• Reapply to keep the color.
• After a few hours, even the best brands fade away.
• Some individuals dislike the feel of a thick shine.
• Don't judge someone else's lip color; judge yourself.

3. Selection Advice

Make careful to pick a lip gloss that matches your lip color, as the color of your lips will affect the color of the gloss you apply. Never choose a lip gloss based on how Jennifer Anniston or Angelina Jolie wears it. Angelina has large puckered-up lips, whilst Jennifer has thin pale ones. Naturally, yours is indistinguishable from theirs, if not superior. Colors of lip gloss seem different for various people. Because your natural lip color will show through, your personal lip color is vital. Your natural lip tone, the pigmentation of the lip gloss, how easy it is to apply, and whatever else you're looking for in a lip gloss all play a role. Clearly, this is as individual, personalized, and unique as it gets.

4. Not Everything That Shines Is Good 

Make sure the lip gloss applied to the lips feels comfortable, almost as if it weren't there at all, no matter how good it looks. Lip gloss glitter that feels gritty or harsh is not something your lips or you should accept. Do not be scared to return it to the store and explain your problem to the store clerk or – better yet – the store manager. It should be replaced with a tube that is less gritty. If the problem persists, it may be time to switch to a different brand, preferably one with less glitter to avoid irritation.

Keep in mind that while lip gloss provides lips a lustrous sheen, it does not offer anyone kissable cottony-soft lips. Lip balms help with this. Balms aren't gleaming. However, it softens the lips. Apply a balm to the lips first before applying a lip gloss to keep them moisturized. Gloss is, as the name implies, designed to be shiny. If it doesn't, go to the shop or store where it was purchased, and you should be able to obtain the product you paid for.
