Lipsticks that actually dry your lips out

Hello there Christine. I'm a person who likes putting on lipstick everytime I go out. I just do it because I think, when I'm not wearing any on my lips, my face looks pale. I just love buying some lipstick of different shades but I think my favorite shade is red. Last time, I ordered something with a friend. I saw a new item in the brochure so I wanted to try it. It's red and I liked it because its look is different from the others that I already have. When I got it, my co-worker also liked it. She bought two of them with different shades. After two weeks of using, my co-worker noticed that she was having dry lips. I think she had an allergy on what we bought. When I tried to use it that day too, I noticed that my lips also became a bit dry. Like the lining of my lips became a bit dark. I didn't like it. It also felt a bit itchy. From that time, I stopped using that lipstick I ordered. I felt scared if I use it again, I might have allergy too. I don't want to spend more in buying some medication. I think, the drying of my lips depends on the lipstick I use. If it's glittery or so glossy, at times I feel itch on my lips. When it's just ordinary, no glitters or something, I think my lips are okay. I think it depends on the brand or the ingredients they used too. Or sometimes, some women's lips are just sensitive. Sometimes, the drying of the lips also depends on the weather. It's good my lips are just okay this time. They're not so dry even though I usually put on lipstick nowadays. :)

I haven't noticed this personally ... mostly because I don't generally wear lipstick. However, I have noticed that there are some guys that wear it and then want to kiss me, and their lips are all dried out and nasty - I mean, I don't mind them wanting to feel pretty and all, but couldn't they at least put some flavored lipgloss on to soften up those dry, chapped lips and make them taste good or is that really too much to ask?

The first time I used lipsticks, it dries my lips. Maybe because I didn't know lipsticks could be drying and I didn't apply lip balms. Now that I am applying lip balms, it has definitely helped a lot in moisturizing my lip. It doesn't dry anymore.

I have noticed that too. However, I can't go out without wearing one. I don't have any choice but to put on lipstick or else, I won't be satisfied with my appearance. My lips weren't that pinkish so it's better to put some color on them. Happy myLotting!

hi Christine, I do not wear lipstick very often but when I do, I always use lip gloss.....they make lipstick now that actuals has lip balm already in it....

Lipsticks really dries the lips. It is better to use lip gloss for chapping of lips.

I remember hearing that always putting chapstick on would dry your lips out. Seems funny, huh. I use lip gloss because lipstick always seemed to dry my lips out and it would come off flaky. Tinted lip balm is something I've tried, but I like the shine gloss gives me.

hi christine, i think lipsticks are naturally drier than lip balm. since young, i always have the problem of chapped lips, regardless it is summer or not. i started putting lip balm when i'm younger. and now, i usually put lip gloss. for one, it's more moistouring and i prefer it's shine compared to lipstick!

hi, i also had an experienced of that,i put a lipstick in my lips because i thought that it will moisturize my lips from chopping,but i didn't know that the lipstick i used was fake and it will made my lips more dried and darken,so i stopped using that lipstick.

I heard that sometimes if you don't continually use lip balm or chap stick they can dry out even more. I hate more when lipsticks bring out the dryness and make it look more noticeable.
