What are lip lacquers? Detail guide to lip products

Many people may have used a lip lacquer before without knowing how it differs from other lipsticks. Everyone has their favorite lipstick; no matter what texture, everyone loves it. However, with all the recent advancements in lip color, particularly in the liquid category, it may occasionally be challenging to distinguish what sets one product apart from another.

Lip lacquer, stain, gloss, and Liquid lipstick
We'll present four distinct forms of lipstick: liquid lipstick, lip lacquer, lip gloss, and lip stain—to assist you in understanding the lip color universe.

1. Lip lacquer
Lip lacquers are one of the biggest trends right now. A lip lacquer is a non-sticky, smooth, highly pigmented lip gloss with a consistency and texture that is noticeably thicker, creamier, almost like liquid lipsticks. The definition of "lacquer" is to give anything a high-shine, smooth finish that will make your lips sparkle more than you've ever seen.

Lacquers have a glossy, thick, and creamy texture that gives your lips a sheen. They are available in various hues and may be used alone or, if they are clear, as a top coat over matte lipstick. High-quality lacquers have built-in moisturizers and vitamins for your lips and are beautifully pigmented for lengthy wear.

2. Lip stain

Lip stains are brilliant. These thin liquid lipsticks act as delicate color veils on your lips. They are intended to stain your lips, giving them a somewhat off-color sheen. A lip stain will provide you with a pout that resembles the lollipop lip appearance. Like the Weightless Longwear Lip Stain (Leopard Limited), a blend of pearl and polarized light with a touch of gilded shine. It brings high shine and instantly eye-catching effect.

The beauty of these matte wonders is that they don't require regular reapplication because they stay on the lips for a long time, almost over 8 hours. But because they dry very quickly, the accurate application requires a steady touch. Additionally, they frequently lack moisturizing qualities, so you might occasionally need to use lip balm.

3. Lip gloss
As the name implies, lip gloss is a substance applied to the lips to give them a "glossy" appearance. Although some lip gloss includes minor pigmentation to provide a little color to the lips, the primary purpose of lip gloss is to make the lips shine, and the majority of them are known to have a see-through tint.

The primary purpose of a gloss is to increase shine, not color, in an outfit. A true gloss has a softer, frequently translucent tone on its own as opposed to a thick and extensively colored lacquer. Other than that, many glosses offer extra SPF protection, which is excellent because sensitive lip skin is vulnerable to sun damage. Our Floating Light Lip Gloss is a perfect product you can’t miss. It’s a hydrating, refreshing lip gloss that delivers a long-lasting dewy shine and plumper lips look with non-sticky effect.

4. Lipstick
Lipstick is a waxy, solid, stick-like oil-based beauty product used to color the lips. Lipsticks get their name because they are stick-shaped and come in a tube-shaped container. They have a matte and velvety texture and may or may not have moisturizing properties. Lipsticks contain oils, pigments, and waxes. They are usually designed to last long and do not require reapplication.

How to apply lip lacquer?
The formula of lip lacquers is usually intense and creamy but not sticky. When applying, you should start with the plush side of the applicator and glide it onto the lip. The plush side distributes the perfect amount of product flips in a one-swipe application. The round edge of the applicator is ideal for filling the fridge and the mouth.

It's good to use the applicator's edge to define the lips and intensify the shine effect. The edges provide more precision with the application. Then flip the applicator to the smooth side and glide it over the lips. This move will immediately give a mirror-like effect to the lips.

Turn your matte lippies into lip lacquers.
If you don't have a lip lacquer but want that glossy finish, we have a way to make it happen. All you need to do is follow the steps.

Step1: First, you should take matte or liquid lipstick, like the Weightless Longwear Lip Stain. It's a weightless and ultra-lasting lip stain that delivers bold color payoff in a silky-smooth, no worries about smudging or anything like that. Use the applicator to line the outside of your lips, and then fill it in with one coat.

Step2: Next, you can take a shine gloss, glitter gloss, or metallic sheen gloss and apply it on top of the lipstick you just finished. It will give your lips the perfect lacquer finish. This method transforms any matte lip paint to get that perfect shine.
