All About Lips
What's the most important thing to know about lipstick makeup? It all comes down to saturation and texture, the two main factors of any lip product with color. Textures can be thick and glossy, creamy and moisturizing, or powdery and matte. Saturation can range from highly saturated color to a sheer wash. Lipstick is richly pigmented with color. Lip products like glosses, oils, and butters offer extra moisture or shine; stains and tints have a drier, blurred effect. Lip pencils help with defining, filling in, and shading lipstick. Lip scrubs and treatments prep your pout for makeup. Primer and setting products lock in color for longer wear.

Now that you know what all the terms mean, it’s time for some makeup inspiration. Do you want to try a timeless look? Go with red lipstick. But a red lip can be more than classic. Choose a brighter or darker red hue, experiment with different textures, or create ombre effects with lip liner for a less traditional pout. A nude lip is another iconic lipstick and makeup look. “Nude” differs by skin tone, so shop around for a lip color that matches yours. If you’re not ready to limit yourself to a particular color or product, check out travel size makeup. That’s where you’ll find mini versions of best-selling lip cosmetics, which are sized right for test driving something new.
