Lipstick is a cosmetic that applies color, texture, and protection to the lips.

Many colors and types of lipstick exist. Some lipsticks are also lip balms, to add both color and hydration.

Although the name originally applied to the baton (stick) of material within a tubular container usually around 10mm in diameter and 50mm in length, the term now generally relate to the material itself, regardless of method of application.
