The 40 Best Lipsticks of All Time

Lipstick is a cosmetic product that applies colour, texture and protection to the lips. It is usually made from wax, oil and pigment. Lipsticks have been around since ancient times. During the old days, people used to crush up semi-precious jewels and then apply the product to their lips. Different brands have formulated lipsticks to cater to all lip problems and issues such as dry and dull lips. Other formulations address the dark lips problems, and other brands promise to make the lips plumper and younger-looking. Nowadays, lipstick has evolved from a beauty cosmetic used only by royals to an important beauty product used every day by ordinary people from all walks of life. It is available in different formulations like matte, cream, and gloss. Many lipstick users would agree that lipstick can make more than someone beautiful, but there are also numerous benefits from it.

A lipstick can give hydration to the lips, especially if it is formulated with vitamins and natural ingredients. Some lipsticks contain avocado and coconut oils, these oils help smoothen the texture of the lips. There are things to be considered when looking for the perfect lipstick. It should be hydrating, non-sticky, and highly pigmented. The best lipstick needs to have a hydrating formula that won’t dry out the lips. A hydrated lip is a sign of a healthy lip. The consistency of a nice lipstick should be comfortable enough to wear for an extended period of time. It should not feel sticky or leave a stain on the teeth. One main factor to consider when looking for the best lipstick is colour pigmentation. A good quality lipstick must have enough intensity of colour that won’t easily wear off and will highlight the natural beauty of the lips. With a wide variety of lipsticks to choose from, there are actually three lipsticks considered to be the best of all time.

What to Look for in a Lipsticks?

Finding the right lipstick is sometimes very difficult considering all the wonderful lipsticks available in the stores. A quality lipstick should not only look good on the lips but also provide nourishment. When choosing the right lipstick, there are things to be considered.

The lipstick should be hydrating and, with regular use, should not cost the lips to dry out. It should last for hours, even after eating or drinking. A good lipstick should have the right intensity of colour. The shade of lipstick is the first thing that most women are looking for when buying lipstick. It is mainly the one factor to consider when choosing one. Another factor is the consistency, a nice lipstick should glide smoothly on the lips. It may look glossy, but definitely not feel sticky on the lips. Lipstick should be comfortable to wear all day long. Most women are finding it hard to look for lipstick that is complementary to their skin colour. There are endless shades to choose from different brands, but still finding the perfect shade is still tricky. When choosing a lipstick, first understand the undertones of the skin. Fiery reds and oranges look good on warm undertones. Any berry-coloured lipstick will complement skin with cool undertones.

Listed below are the things to consider when looking for lipstick.

Lasting Power: The best long-lasting lipstick should have staying power. It should stay on the lips for a long time and there is no need for constant reapplication. Lipstick is considered long-lasting when it is able to stay for a minimum of 5 hours. Activities like drinking and eating can cause it to wipe off a bit, but it should stay on the lips for a while.
Hydrating: No one wants to have dull and dry lips. Lipstick nowadays offers ultimate hydration to the lips. They are enriched with vitamins and natural ingredients that help nourish and protect the lips. Beautiful lips should look healthy and natural, and lipsticks can help in achieving it. Look for formulas that are non-drying and help the overall quality of the lips, and not just provide colour to them.
Non-Sticky: Lipsticks come in different formulas like matte, cream and gloss. Glossy lips represent healthy lips, but they should not be sticky. Nothing is more uncomfortable when lipstick is transferred to a glass or cup when drinking. The consistency should not make the lips look glued together. It should be lightweight and comfortable to wear.
Opaque Enough: The intensity of the colour is what makes a good lipstick. It should be highly pigmented, even with a single or two swipes. A lipstick with a high colour pigment is a value for money because there is no need to apply many layers to build up the colour.
Skin Colour: A nice lipstick should compliment the skin tone. It should enhance the face of someone who wears it. Finding the perfect shade based on the skin tone is the first step in choosing the right lipstick. There are available samples or testers on the market that customers can try on before actually purchasing the lipstick.

How We Should Apply the Lipsticks?

Makeup wouldn't be complete without putting colour on the lips. Lipstick is a very common makeup product, and some women are still clueless about its right application. When a woman is putting on makeup, usually the lipstick is the last product to be applied on. In order to have a clean and precise lipstick application, the lips should be prep first. Make sure that the lips are clean and dry when applying any lip product. Apply the lipstick straight from the tube, begin by swiping a little amount of lipstick in the centre of the upper lip. Then, glide the lipstick across the upper lip from the centre to both corners, until the whole lip is covered. A lip brush may be used for more precision, but it is not yet advised for beginners. Repeat the same process on the bottom lip and apply two more coats depending on the desired look. Try practising in front of the mirror how to apply lipstick and play with different shades that will complement the lips.
