How to find the right shade of lipstick or lipgloss

Choosing the right shade of lipstick or lipgloss starts with understanding your skin tone and undertone. Lighter skin tones often suit soft pinks, peaches and nude shades. Medium skin tones look great with rose, berry and mauve colours. Darker skin tones can shine with deep reds, plums and rich browns. Testing shades in natural light and considering the occasion can also help you make the right choice.

How to prevent your lipgloss from feeling sticky

Sticky lipgloss can feel uncomfortable. To avoid this, choose formulas that are described as lightweight or non sticky. Applying a thin layer instead of too much product also helps. You can gently blot your lips with a tissue after application to remove excess gloss while keeping a smooth and shiny finish.

How to make lipstick or lipgloss last all day

Long lasting lip makeup starts with good preparation. Gently exfoliate your lips and apply a nourishing lip balm. Use a lip liner to outline and fill in your lips, as this helps the colour adhere better. For lipstick, blot with a tissue and apply a second layer for extra staying power. For lipgloss, choose long wear formulas and try to avoid touching or rubbing your lips too often.

What is the best lipstick for dry lips

If you have dry lips, look for lipsticks with hydrating and nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, vitamin e and natural oils. Creamy or satin finishes are usually more comfortable than very matte formulas. A good option for dry lips is the Black Opal Colorsplurge Risque Creme Lipstick, which combines rich colour with a smooth and caring formula.

How to apply lipstick correctly

Start with smooth and hydrated lips for the best result. Outline your lips with a lip liner to define the shape and prevent the colour from bleeding. Apply lipstick from the centre of your lips outward and gently press your lips together to distribute the colour evenly. For extra precision, you can use a lip brush. If you prefer a glossy look, finish with a lipgloss such as the LA Girl Matte Pigment Lipgloss Fantasy.

From what age can you use lipgloss

Lipgloss can be used at many ages and is often a first step into makeup. Younger users usually start with clear or lightly tinted glosses that feel comfortable and hydrating. There is no fixed age limit, but choosing gentle formulas and keeping makeup fun and light is generally recommended.
