Long lasting lipsticks are so easy to apply. If you can color in a coloring book, you can color your lips. With enough practice you won't even need to use a mirror.

Lip Styles

So, how does it work?

Lipsticks are composed of color pigments, shaping wax, & emollients or oils to moisturize & carry the color.

The five basic formulas of lipsticks are:

SHEER: Sheer ,also known as stains, tints , & glosses , contain minimal coverage .They're so sheer , you don't need a mirror to apply them.

SHIMMER: shimmer, formerly known as frosted, are more beautiful & subtle now . They look heavily metallic , pearly , or opalescent in the tube , but on lips, the coverage is soft & subtle.

CREAM: Amatte look without the heavy matte feel, creams contain more oils & conditioners than mattes, which makes them lighter .They're also known as moisturizing lipstick, hydrating lipstick, & lip rouge.

MATTE: Mattes last longest(except for long lasting lipsticks),because they contains most pigment & pigment makes a lipstick last. But mattes can be drying. Lighter mattes are known as demimatee or semimatee.

LONG-LASTING: Many works on time- release principle. The heat of the lip stimulates continuous release of color. Ingredients like porous silica seal it in, & cetyl octanate (common in foundation) makes it last.

Flavored lip gloss & moisturizing glosses are also desirable for a different twist. Shiny lip liners shape your mouth & make it easier to apply the lipsticks.

Lip Care

Make up for the lip always gets more attention than lip-care.This area needs contant attention because in this area, the outermost protective layer of the skin is very thin . The lips contain no sweat glands & very few oil glands. That is why they are prone to chapping & cracks, even leading to bleeding & infection in some cases.
The daily care for the lips involves cleansing, to remove all make up.Next, apply Shasmooth almond cream & leave it on all night. If you have dark lips ,Shasmooth will help.The lips are an extremely vulnerable part of the body, & lipsticks should provide protection.

A good lipstick will moisturize the lips & shield them from the sun without interfering with the final sheen or finish of the lipstick.

Women over 50 usually look better when they use cream lipsticks, rather than a matte or gloss style.

In a pinch your cream lipsticks can double as a blush.

Carry a stash of different lipsticks in daring shades in your purse for different occasions, outfits, & moods. 

Beautiful Lips

Some of us have less perfect lips than others. But don't despair! There are plenty of tricks of the trade to help make your lips more balanced & beautiful. Some of the most effective solutions:

* The best lip color fixative? - A thin layer of Chap stick. The formula holds lip color like crazy as it heals & protects.

* Powder lips also gives lip color or gloss something to cling to for longer, smoother wear.

* For longer wear, blot lips after applying lipstick to set color & remove excess. Add a thin layer of loose or pressed powder, then apply color again.

* Turn down too much shine by holding a single-ply tissue to your lips & pressing a little loose powder through it - just enough will sift through the tissue to adhere to color & reduce the shine.

* Turn up the shine with a thin layer of clear lip gloss over lipstick or alone.

* For high-voltage shine & color, try a lip lacquer over lipstick or alone.

* For fuller, poutier lips, spotlight lip gloss right in the center of your mouth.

* Keep matte lip color from drying your lips - use a lip primer or lip color fixative before you apply the matte color.

* For evening special-effects, apply a sheer lip gloss in silver, gold or an iridescent shade over the lip color
