Lip Stick
Lip stick is a type of solid fatty substance which looks like a wet crayon sealed in a cylindrical tube. The lipstick is applied to your lips to stain a thin coat of colour. It can then be easily removed with water. The lip stick is a type of cosmetic used to enhance the face, in particular the lips. Lipsticks usually contain a variety of oils, pigments, emollients and waxes. The fats and oil that can be found in lipsticks are usually olive oil, castor oil, coca butter, mineral oil, Lanolin and petroleum. Lipsticks also contain Silicone oil which seals the colours to the lips. There are a variety of lipsticks available on the modern market: Frosted lipstick which contains bismuth ox chloride and synthetic pearl for luster. Matte lipsticks that have more wax and pigment but less emollients for less shine. Lipsticks that stain and sheers contain a lot of oil and a modest amount of wax with a little colour. Long-lasting lipsticks are usually mattes: Cream lipsticks are a balance of shine and texture. Glosses have high shine and low colour. Shimmers have extra glimmer that comes from mica or silica particles. A lipstick primer can be used to maintain moisture in the lips and to ensure a smooth cover. Lipstick sealant prevents lipstick from smudging. Lip gloss is a type of cosmetic product that creates a shiny 'dewy' appearance when applied to the lips and may also contain some colour pigments. There are two types of lip gloss - lip gloss may come in the form of a gel-like substance or in a semi-solid crayon (in a cylindrical tube usually). Lip gloss can be clear in colour or in a different shades of opacity. Some types of lip gloss may even contain frosted or metallic glitters. Lip gloss is a great substitute for lipstick for people with perpetual dry lips.
