The average lipstick stays put for two hours, while gloss can be fleeting.
LIPTIP
BEFORE SMILING FOR THE CAMERA, SWIPE ON A MATTE LIPSTICK. THE FLASH CAN MAKE SHINY GLOSS LOOK HARSH.
The Look
Lipstick: Deeply pigmented, nodoubt-it color. whether you go for a decadent red ora demure nude, the-coverage effect is ladylike and polished.
Gloss: A single wave of the wand bestows a juicy, often sheer shade plus a generous dose ofsheen.
Where to Wear it
Lipstick: Ideal for evening, work, or anytime you want to look put together or done.
Gloss: Weekends and nights out when you'd rather play up your eyes. (smoky lids with bold lips looks a little too beauty queen-ish.)
Pout Perks
Lipstick: Precise application ensures that your mouth looks defined-a bonus as you get older and lips become less pronounced.
Gloss: The sheer stuff makes your pucker appear fuller. Just a dab of clear gloss on the center of your bottom lip creates a voluptuous effect.
Durability
Lipstick: The average lipstick stays put for two hours, less if you're sipping lattes (steamy drinks melt away color-binding waxes) or devouring potato chips (greasy foods require mouth wiping)
Gloss: Gloss is fleeting, but not all formulas have wanderlust. For extra insurance suggest moisturizing your lips balm before topping them with
gloss.
