It’s All about the Texture: Understanding 5 Types of Lipstick

Everyone has a favorite signature lipstick, but what goes far beyond finding the ideal shade is the right texture and type of lipstick. Here’s a quick guide on how these five types of lipsticks work:

1. Gloss Me Up

Do you want to make heads turn? Well, there’s nothing more eye-catching than a gloss on sunny days for adding a youthful glow.

2. Sheer But No Fear

Sheer is a classic because ‘the touch of color with subtle shine’ philosophy pretty much goes with all daytime and nighttime looks. This formula is relatively high in oil content, making it less likely to dry out.

3. Creme De La Crème

That’s French for the best of its kind, and that’s exactly what the Khuraira Lipsticks are all about. Creme or cream lipsticks are often referred to as cousins of sheer lipstick, as they both incorporate texture with a hint of gloss. But because creme lipsticks are higher in wax, they’re more nourishing and stay on longer.

4. Go Matte!

Matte lipstick is a shine-free alternative, which is the opposite of glossy lipsticks. This is your go-to if you enjoy an even, smooth texture that conveys the color all day long.

Don’t forget to prep your lips with Khuraira O’Natural Lip Balm before going in with the matte lipstick. Else it may dry out your lips more than intended.

5. Make It Happen with Some Satin

This lipstick type is all about incorporating color with minimal shine. Its low maintenance, high impact, and long-lasting formula is perfect for layering over or flaunting on its own.
