Lip Gloss

Lip gloss is perfect for anyone who wants a clean, fresh look without going overboard. Lip gloss can give you a shimmery, pretty, young look that just plain lipstick cannot. Lip gloss is great because it is cheap, easy to use and you can take it anywhere. For any girl who wants lip color on the go, then lip gloss may just be your answer.

Choosing a Lip Gloss

Because the majority of lip glosses are very sheer and translucent, there really is no such thing as the wrong lip gloss color. Lip glosses come in all different colors and shades to meet any girl’s wants and needs. Even though you generally can’t go wrong with lip gloss, there are a few rules that you should be aware of. If you have very fair skin, try to stay away from the very deep reds and purples. Try more subtle tones such as peach, warm pink and clear. If you have a medium skin tone, try to stick with warmer colors such as medium pink and light red. If you have a dark complexion you are extremely lucky because you can wear any shade and it will look fabulous!

Applying Lip Gloss

After you have the shade of lip gloss you like picked out, it is now time to pick the type of lip gloss that you like. Lip gloss comes in tubes, sticks, palettes and jars. Probably the easiest lip gloss to apply and take with you everywhere is the kind that comes in a tube and provides you with an application stick. Try to stay away from lip glosses that you have to use your finger to apply. This is a sure way to spread bacteria and germs.
