Lipstick

Lipstick is a makeup product intended to enhance the lips, add color and create a neat, fresh and feminine look. It can be part of everyday makeup, a subtle detail for a natural appearance or the final step for a more expressive evening makeup look.

Within the Makeup category, lipstick is chosen according to the desired shade, texture, color intensity and feeling on the lips. Multifunctional stick products can also be used on cheeks or eyelids when the product is intended for that purpose, making them practical for quick touch-ups during the day.

For lipstick to look good, lips should be well cared for. Dry and chapped lips can make color application look uneven, so regular use of lip balm and avoiding removal of dry skin is useful. Read more advice about dryness in Dry skin – how to care for it and which cream is best.

How to choose lipstick?

For a fresher, softer and more natural look, Embryolisse 3-in-1 balm stick raspberry pink 2.5 g can be a good choice. The raspberry pink shade can refresh the face and fit easily into a daytime makeup routine.

How to use lipstick properly?

Lipstick is applied to clean and cared-for lips. If the lips are dry, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of balm first, wait briefly for it to absorb, and then apply color. For a more precise look, a lip pencil can be used.

With intense shades, it is better to apply the product gradually in thin layers to control color intensity. Multifunctional stick products can also be applied to cheeks or eyelids if intended for 3-in-1 use, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Lipstick and dry lip care

Lipstick can look uneven if lips are chapped, dry or flaky. That is why regular lip care is important, especially before applying stronger colors. Lip balm, gentle hydration and avoiding lip licking help lipstick look better and feel more comfortable.

If lipstick or stick product causes stinging, itching, swelling or redness, remove the product and stop use. With repeated reactions, the lip skin may not tolerate an ingredient in the formula.

Pharmacist’s advice

Apply lipstick to cared-for lips, especially if choosing intense shades that can emphasize dryness and uneven texture. Do not share lip products with other people, especially if there are cold sores, cracks or irritation. If stinging, swelling, itching, redness, blisters or recurring cracks appear, stop using the product and seek advice from a doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist.
