For everyday wear, I prefer to wear lipstick over lip gloss, which makes my lips feel super sticky. I ultimately feel like it is on my teeth and I don't want to smile without checking first. I will wear it on occasion though, to give my lips a bit of shine. I love red lipstick, but I will say that since I had children, I never wear it much anymore. My kids want to touch it or be kissed and there it goes, all smeared on my face or clothes or their clothing. I miss red lips.
