Green Lipstick
Lipstick has long been considered a beauty essential with green lipstick bringing an edgier, quirkier feel to traditional cosmetics. It comes in a variety of formulations from sticks and creams to long lasting liquid with finishes including glossy, shimmery and matte.
Practical advantages of green lipstick
Green lipstick may be novel and fun but they have a range of practical advantages with many products being waterproof, highly durable and containing vitamins for a healthy pout. While some lip balms react to the natural PH of your lips and change colour accordingly, others look green but actually turn your lips a delightful rosy or rouge shade.
Green lipstick can be worn to complement a specific gothic style or worn to clubs with neon and glow in the dark varieties being particularly suited to the clubbing scene. They can also be worn during Halloween or to themed parties where green lips would be appropriate with both light and dark shades allowing for optimum choice.
As green lipsticks tend to be small and compact they fit neatly into make up bags and evening clutches allowing for a quick application as and when is needed.
Styles and finishes of green lipstick
Not all green lipsticks are the same. Some matte green lipsticks are long lasting, dry to the touch and requires precision application for maximum effect. Many lipsticks of this kind are designed to stay on all day and all night without rubbing off, and therefore must be put onto the lips with care to ensure the lip lines remain defined.
In contrast, glossy lipsticks and lip glosses catch the light helping to give your lips a dazzling shine. They feel wet to the touch, are easy to wear and can be reapplied throughout the day as and when you need. Many glossy green lipsticks also contain glitter for a party vibe.
