Tips For Applying Lip Gloss
|
-
Before putting on a
lip gloss, apply a light film of Chap stick or lip balm. It
moisturizes and nourishes the lips, keeping them naturally rosy. Apart
from protecting and healing, Chap stick 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.
