What Is A Lip Chalk?
MyGlamm
Practical, highly pigmented and amazing texture – these are the three words that describe lip chalks perfectly. Available in a bullet-like shape, not only are lip chalks compact but also easy-peasy to use. Thanks to its main ingredient tapioca starch (that helps in better shine control), lip chalks can absorb all the excess oil and give you that glamorous velvety touch. The best part: Most of them are multipurpose and can be used for lips, cheeks and eyes. Ain’t that great?
How To Use A Lip Chalk?
Lips chalks can be used directly on the skin or over your makeup! Sounds nice? Get yourself a lip chalk and follow our step-by-step guide on how to use it.
– For lips: If you want to apply the lip chalk over your lipstick or lip balm, then apply the latter first and then layer your lips with the lip chalk evenly for an instant glam upgrade.
– For eyes: Apply an even layer of eye chalk across your eyelids or run it across your lash line to get a pretty eyeliner look.
– For cheeks: If you want to use them as a pigmented face chalk, then use your fingers to dab it on your cheeks to get a glowing, flushed look. Et voila! you got your multipurpose cheek tint and highlighter
Easy, right?

Is A Lip Chalk Different From Lipstick?
As lip trends become more elaborate, products are being updated in the market to deliver the latest look. Whether it is the shimmering finish you’re after or just a dewy lustre, lip makeup is evolving, just like the innovation of lip chalks.
We’ve got a buffet of options for decorating our pout, but talking about the difference between lipsticks and lip chalk, we would have to say that yes, they are different.
Lipstick vs Lip Chalk At A Glance
1. Finish:
Lipsticks come in various formulations- from metallic to matte. Lip chalks, on the other hand, give you a subtle shiny look.
2. Where to Wear It:
Go with lipstick if you want a refined look, however, reach for a lip chalk if an understated subtle shine is what you’re looking for.
3. Texture:
The texture of lipsticks and lip chalks is also different. While you can smoothly spread the chalk on your eyes, lips or cheeks, it might not be that easy with lipstick.
4. Consistency:
While lipsticks are primarily made of waxes and oils, the consistency of lip chalks is slightly different as their main ingredient is tapioca starch.
