1. Matte
Matte lip enamel texture is dry, no gloss, color saturation is extremely high, the cream is easy to dry after the upper lip, showing a matte matte makeup effect, not easy to get off the cup, can be used to create retro or more mature makeup, but because the upper mouth is dry, it is easy to highlight lip lines and dry skin, before using the lip primer, not suitable for people with more or deeper lip lines, but it should be noted that the matte lip gloss needs to be removed and then touch-up, otherwise it is easy to accumulate and peel, affecting the effect.

4. Pearlescent
The lip gloss with pearlescent makeup effect has a silkier texture, which adds micro-glitter ingredients such as mica, and there is a layer of delicate pearlescent luster behind the upper lip, which is easy to take off makeup, and the color rendering and color saturation are relatively moderate, because the makeup is prominent, so it is not suitable for plain makeup or daily school use, and the pearlescent ingredients in the pearlescent lip gloss are easy to remain on the surface of the lips, so when removing makeup, it must be used with special lip makeup remover products to protect the lips.

Choose a lip gloss according to the texture
When choosing lip gloss, many people want it to be moisturizing and not easy to fade at the same time, and the color is full, but the color rendering, moisturization and durability are themselves relatively contradictory, and it is generally difficult to achieve all of them. That's where you need to make trade-offs.
1. Durability
One of the major concerns of lip gloss is durability, which not only affects the texture of the makeup, but also relates to the embarrassment of sticking to the cup. Generally speaking, the longer the lip gloss, the more difficult it is to remove makeup, and it is easy to deepen the lip lines, but it can save the trouble of touching up makeup, which can be regarded as the pros and cons.
When trying on lip gloss, if it doesn't feel sticky on the mouth and is relatively easy to refresh, then the durability of such lip gloss is generally not too bad. In order to confirm the durability of the lip gloss, you can layer it after it has dried, and press it once with a cotton pad, if the color fades less, then the lip gloss has a better durability.
2. Color rendering
Our so-called color development generally refers to the high color saturation of lip glaze, and its color performance is mainly derived from the colorant components in it, if the colorant is more delicate, then the coloring effect will be better. Compared with other lipsticks, lip gloss has a relatively high color rendering.
In addition, the biggest difference from cream lipstick is that the application of lip gloss requires the help of a brush head, and a good brush head can help the lip gloss to be colored more evenly and the color rendering is naturally higher. Therefore, when choosing, you must try it on your lips (not on your hands, the color rendering will be biased), and secondly, you should also pay attention to whether the design of the brush head is user-friendly and whether it is easy to use.
3. Moisturization
In terms of the moisturization of lip glaze, the moisturization of mirror lip glaze is generally greater than that of matte lip glaze, but this is not absolute, and some matte lip glazes can also be more moisturizing, mainly due to the difference in lip glaze composition. If the lip gloss is infused with moisturizing ingredients such as jojoba oil, it will not only have a lighter texture, but also ensure that there are no problems with drying.
When choosing a lip gloss, if you have a habit of using lip balm as a base, then the moisturization of the lip gloss is generally enough, but if you are used to applying makeup on bare lips, in order to maintain the condition of the lips, you should still choose a more moisturizing lip gloss.
Pick Tips:
In addition to aesthetic factors such as color, you should also consider what your needs are, for example, if you are more concerned about durability and color rendering, then you should pay attention to the color trial effect of the upper lip when choosing, and see if it will fall off easily. If you value moisture, then the durability of your lip gloss may not be particularly good, so be aware before you choose.
