Lipsticks can be categorised into different textures or formats such as liquid lipsticks, cream lipsticks, lip crayons, or lip liners. Lipsticks also can be defined by its finish or look such as high gloss, matte, and satin. There is long-lasting lipsticks, designed for longwear use.  There are different ways to apply lipstick for different looks and it will depend on the type of lipstick you are using. If wanting a classic bold colour, a good technique is to begin with lining the lips with a lip liner. This creates a border to help you from straying outside the lines. Next, use the pencil to fill in the lip to create a base which helps the lipstick product to stay on the lip for longer lasting colour. Lastly, apply the lipstick directly onto the lip, beginning in the middle and working the lip colour to the outer edges. Optional: finish the look with a lip gloss for extra shimmer. The Maybelline Superstay Lipstick has been designed for extra long wear lip colour and does not budge once applied.
