Liquid Lipsticks, Lacquers, Gloss & Stains - What's the Difference?

via

When it comes to lipstick, we love our options, don't we? Whether in gloss, liquid or cream form, we love it all. However, with all the new innovations in lip color - particularly in the liquid sector - sometimes, it's hard to know what makes one product different from another. To help you navigate the world of lip color, we decided to break down four specific (and somewhat similar) types of lippies: liquid lipstick, lip lacquer, lip gloss and lip stain (whew!). Check out what makes each of these pout perfectors so special - and so different--and why you'll want each and every one of them in your makeup bag!

Liquid Lipstick

Strong. Don't let the liquidy substance fool you. Once these bad boys are on lips, they hug 'em and keep them pigmented well through lunch time. Don't be surprised to see your lip color staying put (if not Staying Power: slightly faded) through the end of your work day and into happy hour.

Shine Level (on a scale of one to 10): 0

Lip Lacquer

Staying Power: Moderate.One thing about these glossy numbers: Reapplication is somewhat frequent, so there's a bit more maintenance involved. But it's worth it!
