How to (really) apply your gloss properly?

How to (really) apply your gloss properly?

Coralie Techer

It's probably not the hardest thing to do, and yet, if it's really applied properly, gloss can change absolutely everything about your appearance (or almost). How to apply gloss for a glowy mouth? We'll tell you everything.

Yes, applying your gloss may seem like a simple task, but to achieve glossy, smudge-free, sticky-free, and perfectly enhanced lips, a few handy tips can make all the difference. Whether you opt for a clear gloss for a natural look or a colored gloss for visual impact, here's how to apply your gloss in a way that's non-sticky and maximizes its potential.

Focus: What is a gloss?

Lip gloss is a cosmetic product used to add shine to the lips, creating a luminous effect and often a fuller appearance. It usually comes in a clear liquid or gel form, but can also be colored, providing a variety of options to complete different makeup looks. In addition to adding shine, some glosses are formulated with moisturizing ingredients to nourish the lips and prevent dryness. Others may also have a conditioning formula to improve the texture of the lips over time and in a lasting way.

Always prepare your lips

First, prep your lips by gently exfoliating the surface. A gentle lip exfoliator will remove dead cells and create a smooth canvas for gloss application. This is especially important to prevent gloss from pooling in the creases of your lips, ensuring an even, flawless look.

Also, moisturize your lips with a lip balm before applying the gloss. This will help prevent dryness and ensure that the gloss glides easily over the surface of the lips. A conditioning formula in the gloss itself can also add an extra layer of moisture, leaving your lips both shiny and nourished.

Sparingly and subtly, the key words for applying your gloss

If you want to create a gloss effect that isn't sticky, start by applying a small amount of product. It's easier to add gloss as you go than to remove too much. Use circular motions to spread the gloss evenly across your lips. Focus on your bottom and top lips for a balanced look.

How to choose your gloss?

The choice of gloss can be influenced by your makeup look of the day. If you are going for dramatic eyes with a bold eyeshadow, a more subtle gloss may be best. Conversely, if you want to emphasize your lips, a colored gloss can be the perfect complement. For an even more subtle gloss effect, use a clear gloss. This will give your lips a natural shine without adding color, ideal for an everyday look. If you are going for a colored gloss, choose shades that complement your skin tone. Women with fair skin can opt for lighter tones, while darker skin can afford richer colors.

Apply lip contour makeup to avoid smudging

Lip contouring is an essential step for a clean and precise result. Use a lip liner that matches the shade of your gloss to define the shape of your lips. This will also prevent the gloss from going beyond the contours of your lips, creating a neat finish.

Good to know: For a heart-shaped lip effect, apply a small amount of extra gloss to the center of your lips to create a focal point. This gives the illusion of fuller lips and adds a touch of sensuality to your look. Don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques to find the style that best suits your face.

Using a lip brush can also be an effective way to apply gloss, offering more control over the amount of product you use. This is especially helpful if you prefer a more precise application and want to avoid any spillage.

Quick tip: For a luminous pout that lasts all day, use a lip liner as a base. This will help set the gloss in place and prevent it from feathering into the creases of your lips. Choose a matching lip stain to intensify the color of the gloss and ensure long-lasting wear.

In conclusion, applying lip gloss can be a fun part of your makeup routine, as long as you follow a few handy tips. Whether you prefer a sheer gloss for a natural look or colorful shades for a bold impact, be sure to prep and moisturize your lips, define the outline with a matching lip liner, and apply the gloss precisely for a vibrant, non-sticky gloss effect. Experiment with different techniques and styles to find the perfect combination that will allow you to shine with confidence.
