When you need to moisturize your lips, what do you reach for? Most reach for Chapstick or lip gloss, apply, and go. During this winter season, however, some are reaching for lipstick. With winter in full swing you’ll need to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize – and if you want to do it in style, invest in a good, moisturizing lipstick that accentuates your lips. Why choose a moisturizing lipstick? Why has lipstick suddenly become trendy again? Better yet, why should you choose a moisturizing lipstick over lip gloss or Chapstick?
Enter Winter in Style
You need to skip Chapstick and lip gloss this season. Why? It’s simply going out of style. Trends are leaning towards lipsticks with rich, deep color, so pick a lipstick this season. It’s difficult to get vibrant color from a lip gloss, and even colored lip glosses don’t deliver a deeper color than most lipsticks. Matte shades with less shine are popular also, something lipstick can deliver.
Lipstick is normally dry, so you’ll need to find one that specifically moisturizes your lips. Last-all-day lipsticks make your lips even more drier, so don’t expect to find any long-lasting lipsticks here. Moisturizing lipsticks are popular now, enriched with vitamins and extracts to enhance your lips. These lipsticks stop moisturizing after the color is worn off, so reapply to replenish moisturization.
Here are 5 lipsticks that not only moisturize, but also deliver rich color and smooth application.
