## Lip lacquer
Most of you have heard about lip gloss and lipstick but not about lip lacquer. Lip lacquers have consistency and pigmentation levels more than a gloss but less than a [liquid matte lipstick](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/velvet-matte-lipstick). They are commonly used as a nourishing lip colour or as a layer on the top of pink lipstick. You don't have to apply a balm separately and you get the dual benefits with a single product. Usually, they have a super glossy and creamy kind texture infused with the goodness of kinds of butter. Lip lacquers are therefore top moisturizers for lips and are available in a variety of shades like lip colours.


## Lipstick
Lipsticks are the simplest to understand. They come in the form of a bullet available in different colours and textures. They have become an important aspect of daily makeup routines because of their usage and portability. Ensure that your lipstick is paraben-free and cruelty-free having the key ingredients like vitamin e and jojoba oil for ultimate nourishment. Ranging from [matte lipstick](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/velvet-matte-lipstick) to liquid matte lipstick, you get all your favourite shades and that too is non-transferable. Most of the girls like to wear [pink lipstick](https://www.faceofdee.com/products/velvet-matte-lipstick) and a coat of lip lacquer over it. This combo is long-lasting.

### Lip lacquer vs Lipstick: The Line of Difference
How is lip lacquer different from lipstick? It's the texture and longevity that draws a fine line between these two types of lip products. Generally, a lipstick is a kind of creamy, glossy or a liquid matte however a lip lacquer can be creamy but mostly settles into a semi-matte finish. It depends on the brand and what they want to offer in their lip product. The good part is that both lip lacquers and lipsticks are long-lasting while the glosses fade away in just one sip. Even if you want, both of them are non-transferrable which is again a bonus.

Lipsticks have been the oldest and most popular form of lip colour but they lack terms of pigmentation benefits and ultra-shiny appearance, unlike lip lacquers. The creamy matte or semi-matte texture of lipsticks makes them a heavy version of lip colour in comparison to lip lacquers.
