Lipstick is one of, if not the most iconic beauty products of all time, it’s been the makeup product of choice for many generations and for very good reason. Lipstick enhances your lips shape, volume, colour and texture, it can showcase femininity, make a statement, complement an outfit, and even enable you to express individually and unique style.
Wearing lipstick can also dramatically enhance your mood, making you feel better and look brighter. When it comes to choosing the ideal lipstick for you, there are many factors to consider. The finish of the lipstick is important as it will determine how long the lipstick will last on your lips. A matte finish will stay put for longer, while a glossy finish can give you a more intense look. The lipstick’s formulation will decipher how the product feels on your lips. The more hydrating ingredients used in the formulation the better. And finally the colour of the lipstick you choose is important too. You want to pick a colour that complements your skin tone.
If you have warm or yellow undertones or olive skin, look for a shade of lipstick in corresponding warm colours: Orangey-red, brick-red, and terra-cotta will enhance your skin. The best complement to cool skin tones with blue or pink undertones is a lipstick that also has cool undertones: namely, blue-ish and purple shades. Try a bright cherry red that veers more blue than orange; berry shades like cranberry; or a deep plum. Finally neutral undertones work with a wide range of shades. If you have a neutral skin tone or aren’t sure what your undertones are, try mauve shades for medium skin, pinky tones for fair skin, and berry shades for darker skin.
It is also important to prep your lips before applying your lipstick. Exfoliating your lips will help to remove dead skin cells, making it easier for the lipstick to adhere to your lips. You can also use a primer to help keep your lipstick in place for longer periods of time.

FAQs
Why is it good to wear lipstick?
It is no secret that wearing lipstick can dramatically change your look and mood. It can make you feel sexy, confident, professional, creative and can also be a great form of self-expression. Lipstick can also enhance lips of every shape and size, adding volume, colour, vibrancy and shine.
Which type of lipstick is best?
One of the biggest advantages to matte lipsticks is that they tend to have stronger staying power than glossier shades. They tend to be smooth, smudge-proof and waterproof.
Sheer or satin lipsticks on the other hand, give your lips a soft and hydrated appearance and are perfect for your no-makeup makeup days. Incredibly soft and hydrating, sheer and satin lipsticks add a light wash of colour to your lips that you can build up by layering.
What type of lipstick should an older woman wear?
While matte lipsticks are increasingly popular, they can make lips appear older since they aren’t as nourishing or hydrating as a satin lipstick or crème lipstick, that can make lips look younger.
