What are the main differences between a lipstick and lip gloss?
Although many products cross the line between the two, there are a couple general differences. A classic lipstick has more pigment, so the color will appear more true to what it looks like in the tube. Lipstick lasts longer than a gloss and can come in different varieties from mattes to shimmers. Typically a lipstick is also more drying than a gloss, although the natural options found here are formulated with hydrating plant ingredients. A lip gloss is usually sheer and the color will appear less saturated than how it appears in the tube. Glosses are even more moisturizing and leave lips slick. They are easily removed however and don’t last nearly as long as a lipstick . For the best of both worlds you can apply a thin layer of gloss over your lipstick.
