The difference between lipstick, long-lasting lipstick and lip gloss

Lipstick
Classic lipstick is often creamy in texture and offers intense color with good coverage. It gives your lips a full-coverage finish and generally lasts for several hours. Lipsticks can range from matte to glossy finishes. Keep in mind that many lipsticks transfer, and you may need to reapply throughout the day, especially after eating or drinking.

Long-lasting lipstick
For those days (or evenings) when your lipstick really needs to stay put, a long-lasting lipstick is the ideal solution. If you're used to lip gloss or a creamy lipstick, long-lasting lipstick might take some getting used to. The big advantage of a long-lasting lipstick is that it provides intense color that stays put for hours without fading or smudging.

A lipstick that really goes nowhere is ours Long-lasting lipstick Lip Fix . This lipstick is formulated with moisturizing ingredients, so your lips are immediately cared for and protected. It dries out after application. Lip Fix It applies quickly and gives the lipstick a semi-matte finish without drying out your lips. This makes it the perfect choice for everyday wear, a night out, or even a special occasion where you don't want to worry about touch-ups.

Lip gloss

Do you prefer a shiny, lighter finish? Then lip gloss is the perfect choice for you. The color of lip gloss is often less intense than that of lipstick. Also, lip gloss usually doesn't stay on your lips as long. Always choose a non-sticky formula for lip gloss so you don't feel it on your lips.

How long does lipstick last?

Don't mind touch-ups during the day, or would you prefer a lipstick that you don't have to worry about all day? A lipstick that stays on for hours – even after drinking a cup of tea – is our Lip Fix . Hybrid Lip Gloss On the other hand, it gives a lighter finish and requires touch-ups. A classic lipstick offers a perfect middle ground: it stays put for a few hours, but does require touch-ups, especially after meals.

Texture and finish of lipstick

The texture of your lipstick determines not only how comfortable it feels, but also how it looks. Matte lipsticks create a bold, velvety look, but can sometimes feel a bit drying. A cream or satin finish is a bit softer and often feels more comfortable, while a gloss creates a shiny, fresh look. Tip: consider what you enjoy wearing so you can enjoy not only the color but also the feel.

Choosing the right lipstick color

The first question you ask yourself when choosing a lipstick: which color suits me best? This depends on several factors, such as your skin tone, the occasion, and even your personality. For a subtle daytime look, you can opt for soft, neutral shades, while a bolder color like a deep red is perfect for a night out. You can even consider wearing different colors at work, depending on your role and work environment. Not sure which colors suit you best? No worries!

Know your undertone

If you know your skin's undertone, it's easy to determine whether cool or warm tones suit you best.

Cool undertone: If your skin has a pinkish or bluish cast, choose colors with a blue undertone, such as berry shades, fuchsia, or cool reds. Warm undertones: Does your skin have a yellowish or golden glow? Then orange, coral, brown, or warm red tones often look better on you. Neutral undertone: Lucky you!

The color looks different on everyone

Why does that shade of red look so different on you than on your friend? A lipstick color looks different on everyone! This is because the natural pigmentation of your lips affects the final result. If you have naturally darker lips, the same shade of lipstick might look lighter than on someone with lighter lips. So it's important to experiment and find the right shade for you.
