Tips For Applying Lip Gloss
- Before putting on a lip gloss, apply a light film of Chapstick or
lip balm. It moisturizes and nourishes the lips, keeping them
naturally rosy. Apart from protecting and healing, Chapstick also
helps the lip color to set more effectively.
- The best way to get a lasting effect of lip gloss would be to
first, apply a lipstick to your lips and then, blot off the extra
color using the tissue paper. Later, apply a thin layer of lip
powder on them and apply a second coat of color. Complete the look,
by applying lip gloss to make your lips look shinier than ever.
- To tone down the shine, take a tissue paper and put it against on
lips and press little loose powder through it. Only a bit of it will
get sifted through it and will instantly reduce the shiny effect.
- In case you are performing for a stage show and are required to
radiate an extremely glamorous look, go for lip lacquer. It will
give a greater shine to your lips.
- To give a fuller look, direct the lip-gloss to the center of the
mouth. Apply the gloss in short strokes, until the natural line of
your lips has been filled.
- For women who use matte lipsticks, you can avoid it from drying
and flaking, by using a lip primer or color fixative, before
application.
- Special effects and highlights can be achieved, by using sheer
silver, gold or iridescent lip gloss over lip color. This would be
great for an evening wet look.
- It is recommended to use creamy lipsticks for daily purpose. This
would help to keep the lips moisturized. For adding an intense wet
look, apply lip gloss to transform your makeup from matte daytime
look to glossy night party look.
- Women with thick lips are advised to use lip gloss very
sparingly, as it would make your lips look all the more fuller.
