How to apply lip gloss

1. Applying lip gloss is a simple yet effective way to elevate your lip makeup. Start with clean, moisturised lips for the best results.
2. If your lips are dry, exfoliate them gently with a lip scrub or a toothbrush to remove any flaky skin. Once your lips are prepped, you can begin applying the lip gloss.
3. Using the applicator wand provided with the lip gloss, start at the centre of your bottom lip and apply a small amount of gloss. Gently press your lips together to spread the product evenly. If you want a more intense shine, you can add another layer, but be mindful not to overapply to avoid a sticky feeling.
4. Lip gloss can be worn on its own for a natural, glossy look or layered over your favourite lipstick for added dimension and shine. It's a versatile makeup product that instantly elevates your lips.

FAQ

Is it safe to use lip gloss every day?

Yes, it is generally safe to use lip gloss every day. However, it's important to choose lip glosses that are made with high-quality ingredients and free from harmful chemicals.  If you experience any irritation or allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Should beginners use lip gloss or lipstick?

Whether beginners should use lip gloss or lipstick depends on personal preference and comfort level. Both lip gloss and lipstick have their merits. Lip gloss is often seen as more forgiving, as it's usually sheer and easier to apply. Lipstick provides more colour and coverage but may require more precision.

Which lip gloss brand is best?

The """"best"""" lip gloss brand can vary depending on individual preferences and needs. Several reputable brands offer high-quality lip glosses, including MAC Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown and Too Faced, among others. When choosing a lip gloss brand, consider factors like your budget, desired finish (glossy, opaque, shimmer), and any specific ingredients or features you prefer.

Lip balm or lip gloss, which is better?

Lip balm and lip gloss serve different purposes. Lip balm is primarily used for hydrating and protecting the lips, especially in dry or cold weather. Lip gloss, on the other hand, is used for adding shine and often contains more pigmentation. The choice between lip balm and lip gloss depends on what you need at the moment. If your lips are dry or chapped, opt for lip balm. If you want a glossy finish and a touch of colour, go for lip gloss.

How do you get lip gloss to stay on?

Lip gloss tends to have shorter staying power compared to matte lipstick, but you can take steps to make it last longer. Start with smooth, exfoliated lips to create a better base for lip gloss. After applying lip gloss, blot your lips gently with a tissue, then reapply. This sets the gloss and can make it last longer. For added staying power, layer lip gloss over matte or long-wearing lipstick. Keep your lip gloss with you for quick touch-ups throughout the day.
