Lipstick has come a long way, most lipsticks these days are infused with essential oils, lip softeners and humectants. Today lipsticks range from neutral and sheer to bold and bright and often contain beneficial treatments and emollients that actually improve the texture and healthy look of your lips.
While lip gloss is all the rage, sometimes you just aren't looking for a super shiny gloss and prefer a more subtle look. Sheer lipstick is a great alternative to give you a hint of color plus a natural healthy shine to lips. They come in a range of shades from pastels and beiges to bold fuschias and reds. Sheer lipsticks will give you a soft finish that looks sophisticated and polished.
Here are a few of my favorite sheer lipsticks to try:

* Guerlain's KissKiss Maxi Shine Sheer Colours. My favorite colors: strawberry shine, nude shine and lychee shine

* Givenchy's Rouge Interdit Shine. My favorite colors: beige shine and toffee shine

* Neutrogena's MoistureShine Lipsheers with SPF 20.  My favorite color: plum kiss

* Laura Mercier's Lip Kisses. My favorite color: rose quartz. Also try Laura Mercier's Lip Colour - Sheer. My favorite color: baby lips.
