Lipstick is a great way to transform your lips at night and give yourself a glamorous boost every now and then. However, it’s not always appropriate, so sometimes it’s better to stick with a more subtle look. That’s when lip gloss and lip stains come in handy.

Lip stains are great because they give your pout a “just-bitten” look that will last for hours. It’s like having lipstick on that won’t rub off, and it’s sheer enough to seem natural (depending on what color you pick). Try a product like GloMinerals – gloTint for Cheeks & Lips, which works great on your lips and as a blush for your cheeks. You could even get a little wild and use it as an eyeshadow!

Lip gloss is the perfect finish for lipstick or a lip stain to create added depth, but it’s also wonderful on its own. With so many options out there, you’re bound to find a lip gloss that does what you want. There are plumping formulas, shimmery formulas, tinted formulas, long-lasting formulas and pretty much anything else you could think of. Try out a product like Jane Iredale – PureGloss – it may become your new best friend!
