Best Tips For Applying Lip Gloss
May 27, 2008
Popular as ever, lip-gloss not only adds shines to your lips, it also adds an illusion of plump sensuousness. There is no woman in the world that does not covet a pair of fuller lips. A full pout or bee-stung lips are considered sensual in a woman and the look can easily be achieved with the help of lip-gloss. While, lipsticks and lip liners add colour and define the lips, lip-gloss gives them a fresh, glistening look. Lip-gloss can be applied on top of lipstick or one can use a coloured gloss to achieve a more natural look. Lip gloss and lip stick can make your lips look fuller, glossier and better! They add volume to your lips making thin lips appear plumper. Follow the tips given below for an Angelina Jolie pout and for the best look.
Using Lip Gloss
For a natural look that does not detract from the features, line your lips with a neutral lip liner and fill in lips with pink or peach lip gloss to make them look shiny and attractive.
For sensuously plump lips, apply lip liner followed by lipstick. With a brush apply lip-gloss to the centre of your lower lip. Rub lips together for an even application. Get rid of excessive shimmer by dusting lips with a little powder or biting lips on a bit of tissue paper.
Always, choose lip-gloss colours that suit your skin tone. While, you may want to experiment with colours, golds and reds look better on cooler skin tones i.e. pale colour hair and skin, whereas pinks and raspberries look good with dark skin and hair.
Always, apply lip-gloss with a brush, the best method to get an even spread. Besides, it is economical and convenient. Avoid alcohol-based lip-glosses, which can cause peeling and drying of lips. Instead, use water or oil based glosses to trap moisture on the lips.
When using coloured lip-gloss, lighten lips with a concealor to bring out the colour of your lip-gloss.
With a variety of lip-glosses to choose from, some of them are dazzled up with glitter and frosting for a fun look. Some of the best lip-glosses are:
Lancôme’s Juicy Tubes, a vibrant collection of colours.
Urban Decay’s XXX Shine Cooling with a peppermint taste.
Chanel Glossimer – sexy, shimmering gel based.
Mac Tinted Gloss – glass finish and subtle sheen with jojoba oil to moisturise lips.
Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss – an elegant gloss made from botanical extracts.
Even if you don’t have Angelina Jolie’s genetics, you can create the illusion of plump, juicy lips by applying lip-gloss.
