I love both. I use lipstick first and lip gloss on top. Some of my friends don't like lip gloss because of its icky texture so they just use lipstick. Other friends prefer lip gloss because of its shine. So what about you girls? Which do you prefer? Guys could answer too because some guys I know don't like lip gloss on their girlfriends because of the smooching factor.:P Thanks for sharing people..:)

I use both but I love lipgloss more because it doesn't make the lips dry. Sometimes I want a more solid and dramatic look, I would use a lipstick only to give a solid texture to my lips. But most of the days, I would just use lipgloss as I love my lips to be shiny and they look more 3 dimentional! I figure that I use and buy lipgloss way more often than a lipstick.

Ooooh, nice~! I find that wearing lipstick does make my lips dry. Lip gloss does help with the 'pout' effect.. hehe.. Thanks for the response wondericequeen.. Hey, we're both queens.. :P

*laughs* Yep, queens that love lipgloss and makeup probably. It's still hard to find a moisturizing lipstick now which won't dry out my lips, I am still trying *laughs*.

I used both sometimes if I'm just going out with my friends and not so important events, just going to the mall I used my lip pencil and together I used lip gloss but if I'm going to a party or some formal events I used it both lipstick with lipgloss.

I used to use a lip pencil under my lip gloss too. I don't do that anymore. No particular reason though.. :P I use both most of the time too. Thanks for your response girl~!

I prefer lipstick because I like a strong, matt colour.

Girls wearing lipgloss look a lot sexier than those wearing only lipstick. Lipstick gives the lips a plastic kinda look. Their combo looks really good. Especially red and lipgloss.

Finally, a response from a guy~! :D So you think lipgloss is sexier, huh? Hear that girls! Well I personally like combos. But maybe not red lipstick. Doesn't go with my skin color. But so far, you do know what you're talking about~! Many girlfriends? ;D

I like using both too. This way my lips will have a shiny look. It's not because of the shine but because the lips look healthy that way. But if I have to chose between the two, I would prefer lipstick than lip gloss. Lipstick are more long lasting than lip gloss.

I also love both. If I'm in office I will wear lipstick in the morning. Then, after prayer I wear lip gloss or balm. :) I think both are nice and wearing both also make women lips sexier. :D

I'm more of a lip gloss girl. I don't really think lip stick looks right on me. Maybe it's just that I haven't found the right shade.

Hello mean_queen I like the glossy one, woman look more sexy with glossy lips I think. I like glossy but don't like the sticky one. So use very thin just to make it glossy. God bless you *angel www.beautycosmetictips.com

Hello mean_queen I like both of them. Usually I wear lipstick first, but sometimes I just wear lip gloss. I like to look glossy, look more sexy I guess. Some lip gloss are glossy but not too icky. God bless you *angel www.beautycosmetictips.com

I like lipstick and I like lipgloss. I have to like the color, color matters more to me than texture. When I go out and have to have a shine that lasts longer than I usually use lipstick. I usually have a lipstick in my purse but I like the texture of lipgloss and put some on several times a day. It doesn`t seem to last as long as a lipstick, though. Both are fine for me.

That was a great reply~! Color is absolutely what matters to me too. Not every color suits me. Thanks for responding Inky! ;)

I agree with you.. lipstick first then lip gloss. Because if you just use lip gloss alone, u need to use a little bit more than usual to get the color out. And then you'll look like you just ate something oily. Too icky. Meanwhile, if you put lipstick first and THEN lip gloss then even if you eat, the lip gloss goes first and the lipstick color will still remain a bit.. :) As for the smooching factor, i think guys will prefer flavored lip balm. Hahaha. I don't know.. *innocent shrug*

Hahaha~! Yeahh.. Like eating oily fihscakes! That flavored lip balm sure is a great suggestion. Haven't heard what the guys think yet. I guess they didn't even bother to open up a discussion the the topic, "Lipstick or Lip gloss".. LOL..

I like to use more the lip gloss coz it makes my lips shiny and sun protected. Though I also use lipstick on special occasions that are more formal. But on a daily basis, I use lip gloss more often. It's one of the things I don't leave the house without it.

Lipstick will be fine for me. As I seldom makeup, so even if I have both lipstick and lip gloss, I don't use them often.

A long time ago I always wore lipstick. However, I then got my lip pierced and the lipstick would irritate the hole where my piercing was. I stopped lipstick for good. Chapstick worked just as well and didn't irritate my lipring. I actually took the lipring out a little over a year ago and recently my friend has gotten me hooked on lip gloss. I don't wear it often, like when I'm at work or anything. But if I want to look nice I'll usually put on some lipgloss, I think it's much better than lipstick because it doesn't leave as many marks on people and/or glasses and you don't look like a dork when it comes off!
