A woman’s lipstick is the perfect finish for her makeup. With her eyebrow done, her foundation and powder in place, she touches it up with her lipstick and she is good to go.

 

However, a lot of ladies do not know the different types of lipsticks. No wonder some use lipsticks and complain that it is too dry, uncomfortable and some even detest the way it sticks to their lips.

 

Below we explain the different types of lipsticks so you are not caught unaware.

1.Matte

The matte lipstick has a dry feel to the lips. This is because it is made with more wax and less oil, it is also why they never glimmer or shine. making it ideal for women who want to serve a dark and dramatic look.

 

Matte sticks long to the lips, so for ladies who don’t want to be bothered about touching up their makeup at events, then this brand is your best bet.

2.Cream

 

The cream lipstick is a mash-up of matte lipsticks and the popular lip glosses. It has a smoother application due to more oil than wax when compared to matte lipsticks.

 

Unlike Matte, it is not dry, but has a pop of shine and rarely require touch-ups, as it comes with its own pop pf shine.

3. Moisturizing

 

This is made up of rich additives such as glycerin, aloe and Vitamin E that functions as moisturizers to the skin of the lips. They come in different colours. Like the cream lipsticks, it has a shiny or glossy finish.
