An ode to lip gloss

Lip gloss! This miracle of products that comes in many shades and can be used in many ways.
Oh! How I love thee lip gloss! Sheer ones! Matte ones! Plumpers and line fillers too!

Those with brushes capture my heart and lips though I would never turn away a doe footed gloss. The minis that come with sugar toppings and the ones that hang off my key chain I love you!

What about the old fashioned Bonne Bell lip smackers? Or the beginning of lip gloss in it's most incarnate form, the stick?
I love them all.


Why you ask? Why the amore for such a humble product? Because it is a staple and work horse of the cosmetic world. Because no matter what face you are wearing that day, if you use makeup sparingly or spackle it on, the lip gloss can be used in any and all faces plus can be utilized and is always included in holiday and seasonal color stories.

For example I give you:

Bare faced: tinted moisturizer, liquid bronzer all over especially center points of face, and clear gloss!

School face: dust powder, hit apple of cheeks with warm blush, groom brows, one light coat of mascara and gloss in shimmer tone!

Business face: foundation through the center of the face, conceal where needed, use a matte contour blush, two tone shadows to highlight and give depth to the eye, mascara, and line lips with a nude liner then apply flesh tone gloss!

Party with the girls or date night makeup: matte finish powder over your foundation, stain cheeks and lips, smoky eye, and use high pigment gloss in a red or fuchsia tone.

Gloss starts as a young girls cosmetic and evolves along with her through prom, graduation from college, first job, wedding and if you were me, birth of your first child. (I wore Lorac gloss in Tickle)

Long live the lip gloss! Let the adventurous in cosmetics apply it to their eyelids for a slick punk look or to mix up what they are wearing out on a Saturday night.

New lipsticks have anti-aging properties to them that can help reduce the signs of aging on the lips.

The plumpers that come in different formulations to increase circulation to the lips to make them fuller is an answer to lip injections. Oh mighty lip gloss!

Matte lip gloss is smooth and moist on the mouth without being a dry caked texture like a lipstick.

Lip gloss comes in a subtle shimmer to wear alone or over a lipstick. Lip gloss also comes in a girly Hannah Montana frost. Some even have large glitter bits that look like silver and gold in them. Lip gloss how versatile and portable you are.

You never hear of lip gloss melting into the cap or car cup holder do you?

The lip gloss will be with us in all it's forms: stick, roller ball, flavored or unflavored, doe foot wand, brush, mini, full size, as a gift with purchase, glitter, shimmer, frost, matte, natural clear or high pigment color until all eternity.

Lip gloss, I love you
