How to Apply Lip Gloss
Lip gloss, or lip shine is as popular as ever. They come in tubes and pots that are convenient to use and give a shimer and shine to your lips. They can last for long periods of time and can be water-resistant too. Lip gloss can be applied either over the lipstick or alone for a more natural and nude lip look. It helps to add more volume to your lips.
1. Apply properly. Instead of putting gloss on like you do lipstick (from left to right, top to bottom with a smack!) apply gloss to the middle of your bottom lip only. Rub lips together. This will keep gloss from going on too thickly and getting goopy on you.
2. Apply gloss over lipstick for a full-lipped look, Angelina Jolie look. But make sure you do so over neutral shades, for gloss over darker shades make you look vampish. Again, dab just a bit in the centre of your lips and smooth out from there. Keeps you from applying too thickly.
3. Got too goopy? Smack lips between a tissue paper, just like you would lipstick.
4. Make gloss pop. Lighten lips with concealer before adding coloured lip gloss.
