Finding the perfect lipstick for yourself is not as easy as makeup bloggers make it sound on YouTube. You’ll come across different types, shades, textures, shapes, and sizes, making it a confusing and overwhelming decision. So, to help you find the right one, we have put together a list of the most popular types of lipsticks, the best brands, and tips for finding the perfect shade. Three most popular types of lipsticks There are over 20 different types of lipsticks, and these three are the most popular ones out of the lot. Gloss lipsticks These lipsticks are great for people with thinner lips because they are super-shiny and make the lips look plumper. You can always use a gloss along with lipstick to mix and match the colors and get a little bit of shimmer. Matte lipsticks Matte shades give a sophisticated and modern look. They are the exact opposite of glossy lipsticks providing absolutely no shimmer or shine. They glide smoothly on the lips and may even protect them if they contain vitamin E, moisturizers, or aloe. Cream lipsticks These lipsticks are smooth and less shiny than lip glosses. They provide an even and smooth look and contain more wax which helps protect the lips from drying out.
