Lip Glosses
Lip glosses are popular because there are not very many chemicals in them. They do not look as heavy on the face, as they contain only a hint of color as their lipstick counterparts. There are three types of Lip gloss. Gel, Cream and stick gloss. The Gel Gloss comes in a little pot and is applied with your fingertip.

Wearing Red Lipstick
Yep i am one of them . On of those gals who believes she cannot possibly wear red lipstick No Way!! The key they say is to match the shade of red to the undertones of your skin. If you have a pink undertone then a cherry red may be good for you. If red is to much then apply a lip balm first before applying your pigment. This helps give your lips a sheen of red with out too much pigment. There is a word of caution about matching your red lips to your red outfit. This is a fashion blunder.
A more complicated way of picking out the right color is to try to match your skin tone. The following is recommended by the experts:
Fair skinned ladies should wear light lip colors such as pinks, apricots and even light nudes.
Medium skinned gals should chose a berry color, light burgandy or rose or mauve.
Dark skinned ladies can look good in the browns, plum and wine colors.
