Lipstick

Looking to apply color, texture and protection to your lips? Lipstick is a makeup staple that truly has transformative powers. From red lipstick to nude lipstick, sheer and shiny to pigmented and matte, our lipsticks will help you create the perfect look every time. Shop Kohl’s to find just what you need to make a bold statement and find your everyday shades in a variety of finishes.

Types of Lipsticks

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to the type of lipstick they wear. But it's important to understand the various textures and benefits that each type of lipstick has to offer. To help you nail your look perfectly, we’ll break down a few popular lipstick choices:

  • Sheer lipstick: If you want a moisturizing lipstick perfect for everyday wear, sheer is the way to go. This type of lipstick tends to have more oil than others, making it ideal for those with dry lips. The downside of this type of lipstick makeup is that it is not long-lasting and usually requires frequent touchups throughout the day.
  • Matte lipstick: Matte lipsticks provide a very bold look even though they don’t shine. This type is made with more wax and less oil, which is why they don’t glimmer or shine. However, this shine-free alternative to glossy lipsticks has rich pigmentation and staying power.
  • Cream lipstick: Cream offers a subtle, low gloss look. Although it’s not shiny, it does give you the hydration of a sheer option with the look of a matte lipstick. Just be sure to properly prep your lips prior to applying.
  • Gloss lipstick: High-shine glosses are always in season. If you want your lips to have a wet or glass-like finish, this is the lipstick for you. Lighter gloss shades exude a youthful glow to your daytime looks. But you can also wear them on occasions where you really want to make a statement.
  • Stain lipstick: This type of lipstick is ideal when you want to add color to your lips without the feeling of wearing lipstick. The great thing about lip stains is that they don’t require any touchups throughout the day.

How to Find Your Lipstick Shade

If you’re having trouble choosing your ideal lipstick color, these tips are sure to help you find your signature shade:

  1. You’ll first want to examine your skin in natural lighting. Skin tones typically fall under light, medium and dark shades.
  2. Next, determine your undertones by taking a look at the veins on the underside of your wrist. Everyone’s skin either has cool undertones (veins appear blue), warm undertones (veins appear green), or neutral undertones (both colors).
  3. Once you know your skin tone and undertones, you can match your skin combination to different shade options.
  4. Consider the type of lipstick finish you want and you’re good to go!

How to Apply Lipstick

Even if you’ve found the perfect lipstick in the most gorgeous shade, it won’t show through unless properly applied. Be sure to start with a good canvas by exfoliating and hydrating your lips.

Applying lip liner is optional but this will help to define your lips and lengthen the wear of your lipstick. If you have thin lips, you can overdraw your lips by going a bit higher than your natural lip line. If you have fuller lips, simply draw the liner over your natural lip line.

Now you’re ready to put on your lipstick. Begin by positioning the lipstick at your Cupid’s bow on your top lip and work outward. It may help to smile slightly while applying it. Try to concentrate the lipstick on the fullest part of your lips to better control your application and reduce any mess-ups. Then, position the lipstick at the center of your bottom lip and spread it out to the corner on each side. Once your lips are perfectly coated, blot your lips to remove any excess makeup and you’re good to go.
