Beauty A-Z: How to Choose the Right Lipstick for you?

These lip glosses aren't like the '90s shimmer tubes you're used to — they still have a shine, but the color is like any other regular lipstick you own. If you love a light and glossy finish, this formula is made for you.

These formulas can be solid or liquid and are an easier-to-use version of traditional matte lipsticks. They are non-sticky on your lips and can be used even if your lips are a little dry. They provide a velvety smooth and long-lasting matte finish.

This solid lipstick formula is once again making a splash in the beauty industry. High-pigment and high-gloss lipsticks are applied straight from the tube and are guaranteed to create a shimmery lip look from every angle.

Undoubtedly one of the most popular of the past few years, liquid lipstick has found a place in many people's hearts. Many users agree that they are easier to apply and handle than solid lipsticks and you don't even need to wait for it to dry. What else could you want? These formulas are also available in metallic colors that were very popular in the 80s and 90s.

Simply put, this formula is basically a creamy lipstick that comes in a bottle and is applied with a brush. Lasts about 6 hours — unless it dries out, in which case it will last longer — and you can easily wipe it off at the end of the day.

This upcoming one is basically the non-sticky sister of highly pigmented lip gloss. They have the same deep color but with a thin finish and give your lips a softer, sexier look.

Lipsticks packaged as pencils can come in all sorts of textures — matte, cream, or glossy. They are easy to use because they can be sharpened for more precise application and can also be found at a better price than regular stick-on lipsticks.

Benefit Cosmetics has made water-based tints the mainstay of beauty kits, tints now have a softer texture for easier application and better color depth. They are the go-to when you simply do not feel comfortable with applying a bold lip color.

This makeup-and-care combo gives your lips the nutrients they need with a hint of color — no one will notice you're still wearing lip care at lunch.

Natural looks are all the rage in fashion shows and at this rate, thick lips and sharp contours will soon fade. Powder lipstick is a new formula that gives your lips a matte finish with a spongy, powder-like texture that is applied with a brush or with your fingers for a natural plumping feel.

Isn't iridescence something we all love? In addition, this lipstick can be used on top of existing lipstick colors for a fresh new look. Metallic lipstick adds a three-dimensional effect and a bit of edge.

Holographic is like a clear polish but comes with tiny glitters inside and creates a clear, jelly-like finish. That 90s effect with just the right amount of shine? The holographic frosty lips effect.
