Products for adding colour to the lips come in sheer and classic finishes, each suited to different looks and occasions. Sheer lipsticks deliver a lightweight wash of colour with a natural, buildable effect, while classic formulas offer fuller coverage and longer-lasting pigment. Both finishes are available in a spectrum of shades, from everyday nudes and soft pinks to bold reds, allowing you to match your mood or event.
Choosing between sheer and classic depends on the intensity you want. Sheer finishes work well for daytime wear or when you prefer a subtle enhancement, giving lips a hint of colour without heavy coverage. Classic lipsticks suit occasions where you need staying power and richer pigmentation, such as evenings out or professional settings. The texture also matters: sheer formulas tend to feel lighter, while classic types often include moisturising ingredients to keep lips comfortable throughout wear.
