What is lipstick?

Lipstick is color you put on your lips to make them look pretty or fun.

Imagine you have a crayon, that’s like lipstick, but instead of drawing on paper, you draw on your mouth! When you use lipstick, it stays on your lips and makes them look bright or shiny. Some kinds are smooth and soft, like the inside of a chocolate bar; others feel bumpy, like the texture of a potato chip.

Lipstick is made from special ingredients that stick to your skin. One part helps it hold onto your lips, like glue, but not sticky glue, more like the kind that keeps your shoes on your feet. The other part gives it its color, just like how paint gives a wall its color.

People use lipstick to feel confident or to match their outfit, like how you might wear a red shirt with blue jeans and decide to put on red lipstick to make everything look even better together. It’s like giving your face a little extra flair!
