Why are people my age always wearing lip GLOSS now?

Question

I'm 19 and I love lipstick. I feel sensual, older, and mysterious when I wear it. When I use lip gloss I feel like a cute 12-year-old girl going to the ball park or something, rather than an adult. I use both, but my preference is definitely lipstick. Why does it seem like young people are down on good old lipstick these days? It's available in far more shades and consistencies than gloss and far more durable.

"Why concern youself with what other people think?"

Oh, I don't know...maybe because this is a question and answer site?

Answer 1

peaople are wearing lip golss now a days cause its looks more natural ...

Answer 2

Lip gloss has a taste. Well most of it. Girls now days are wanting that, plus most of it sparkles, they want that too. You see, when you wear lipstick you can tell. I mean it bulges. With lip gloss, it's not as BAM there is something on my lips, type of thing. Plus, most just think lipstick is overrated. The ones I think of when I think of lipstick, is women that are in their 60's trying to feel young again. But as most said, it's preference. I personally, don't like either. But when I wear something, I wear lip gloss, because it's clear, and makes your lips shine. Lipstick has that dull boring color to it. It's all the same.

If this doesn't help, I'm sorry.

Answer 3

I don't know. What I usually do is I line my lips with a lip liner, then use a lipstick to cover it all up. And to top it all off, a lip gloss, usually nude color or some pink, (Maybelline's Shiny-licious) on top of it all.
The lip liner keeps my lipstick and lip gloss from running, the lipstick gives my lips color,and the lip gloss makes my lips plumer and tops it all off with a glossy shine. And I simply LOVE and ADORE the glossy finish!

Answer 4

I agree. Gloss is a cheap substitute for a good ol' classic deep red lipstick. For one, though, there's the mess it can make when kissing, while a clear lipgloss adds a clear shine without turning your boy's lips a nice shade of "Crimson Blush" by Mabeline.

Answer 5

Younger people's parents usually start their girls off by letting them wear lipgloss, not lipstick. As they grow older they may change their mind but usually since everyone is wearing lipgloss they just stick to it. Plus a lot of young girls now think that only old women in their 40s wear lipstick.

Answer 6

i don't think it matters
it's pretty much personal preference

i wear lip gloss on some days and lipstick on other days

Answer 7

ok well i think that people love lipgloss is because it gives ure lips a shimmery look, and makes ure lips look wet-ish. it could be because its cheaper than lipstick and lip gloss makes ure lips non-dry and usually tastes really good too!

it also may be that wear lip gloss makes young people feel sexy? i dunno. but i dont like the after taste lip stick gives when i put it on.

Answer 8

gloss is shinier and, to a lot of girls, more appealing. It's not so dark, and seems to give "nourishment" to your lips, making them not so...ehh chapped looking, which a lot of lipsticks do, depending on the brand and type.

i personally love lip gloss, lip stick isn't for me =]

Answer 9

I use lipgloss over my lipstick, so it lasts longer. I guess younger people's parents aren't letting them wear lipstick. I can't really think of any other reason why no one would be wearing lipstick.

Answer 10

some dont like the cakiness of lipstick ... i like the shine rather than the matte... how ever i wear grown up lip gloss by mac .. not lip smackers

Answer 11

Lip gloss makes your lips shiny and glossy .They probably like that feature of the lip gloss.
