When selecting lipstick, choosing the right type is as important as choosing the most flattering color. Making the best selection is simpler if you know which benefits different lip treatments have to offer. These are five major types of lipstick.

1.Matte
Matte lipstick is deep and dramatic. Matte lipsticks are known for good color, the color is flat instead of shiny. Matte lipstick also tends to dry the lips, so applying a moisturizing base before using it may be advantageous. Look for products containing vitamin E and aloe. Matte lip colors work best on younger smoother and plumper lips.

2.Creme
Creme lipsticks contain more wax than other varieties, which helps protect lips but may cause them to feel dry. The finish is not as shiny as other styles of lipstick and may require an application of lip-gloss to achieve the desired look. Creme lip colors is a good selection for women with small lips

3.Pearly/Frost
These colors make your lips come alive and can make you stand out in a crowd. Great for a funky night out at a party. Frosted lipstick reflects light, making your lips sparkle and glisten. It can feel heavy and may dry or crack, so a moisturizing base may be of benefit with this product as well.

4.Gloss
Gloss isn’t so much a lipstick as it is a lip enhancer. It adds a look of lush and shine to lips. It can be worn with or without lipstick. Because it adds a dimension of depth, it’s also a favorite of women who have thin and small lips.

5.Long lasting & Transfer-resistant lipsticks
Either type will keep your lips looking beautiful for hours. Long lasting lipstick should last from 4 to 6 hours, while transfer-resistant may last 8 or more. Both may feel somewhat dry, so look for products that contain moisturizers or use a base.
