Choosing the type of lipstick to wear depends on the person’s mood (how they want to look), the type of lips a person has (for example, dry lips, thin lips, thick lips, among others), the occasion and the convenience. Listed below are a few types of lipsticks, their benefits, the potential problems a person wearing it might face and why they might suit a particular type of lips:

1. Moisturizing lipsticks
Dry skin causes a lot of irritation and appears to be a less presentable feature. It can also cause a lot of irritation. Moreover, products used to take away the dryness of the skin also render lipsticks unusable on top of them. This is why using moisturizing lipsticks provide a dual feature of moisturizing the lips and also adding a color of choice to the lips. The moisturizing feature of the lipsticks is credited to the presence of vitamin E, glycerin and aloe in them. The wet and shiny look it provides can complement the looks of the person wearing them.

2. Satin and sheer lipsticks
These beauty products come with their own set of benefits and problems. Firstly, they are great for being applied on dry skin. The oil content in the lipsticks provides the skin with adequate nutrients and also adds moisture to the lips and also makes them shiny and glossy. However, a couple of things need to be noted. While they are packed and displayed in a store or online platform, they appear darker than they actually are. So, when someone plans on buying them, they should know that the lipstick will be a shade lighter than depicted. Also, sheer and satin lipsticks have to be applied multiple times, unlike other lipsticks, which will last for a while, each time they are used.

3. Matte lipsticks
For those who look for a decent shade on their lips, matte lipsticks suit perfectly for them. The prime focus of matte lipsticks are not to provide a shiny look, but to provide color to the lips. These lipsticks will not do anything to enhance the thickness of the lips and render them flat. Matte lipsticks are good in making the lips smooth and young. If this is like using this type of lipstick then you can opt for those lipsticks that contain Aloe Vera and Vitamin E that will help provide adequate nutrition and hydration to your lips.

4. Cream lipsticks
This type of lipstick provides a certain amount of smoothness to the lips without the shine. This can be compensated for by using lip gloss after the usage of a cream lipstick. Cream lipsticks provide a layer of protection to the lips due to its high content of wax. However, this can cause extreme dryness of lips.

5. Pearl and frosted lipsticks
These types of lipsticks provide more than just shine, it gives the lips a glistening and sparkling effect. These lipsticks are a huge hit during glamorous events. This can, however, cause cracks in the lips, make them dry and make the lips look unhealthy. Limited usage of these lipsticks is recommended. To combat dryness, it is advised that a moisturizer be used on the lips before using pearl and frosted lipsticks.
