text: A good quality lipstick should display a number of characteristics: a melting point that is high enough to ensure that it does not soften during the warmer summer months; strength to resist breaking under pressure when the lipstick is applied; plasticity so that it spreads easily and smoothly on the lips; a pleasant taste; smearing and feathering resistance; moisturising and softening properties to protect the lips; and lasting colour that will remain on the lips for a considerable period of time.
text: Waxes with a higher melting point give the lipstick greater strength, while those with a lower melting point allow it to soften when it is applied; so a combination of waxes must be used.
text: Finally, if you have dry lips or lips that are creased or lined, consider using a lip primer to create a clean slate before the lipstick is applied.
