Lip gloss lends your pout that irresistible soft and supple look. It can be worn anytime anywhere. It is a known fact that make-up can make or break your entire look. Good make-up is just as essential as the wardrobe itself. Lip gloss alone can make a great fashion statement. Therefore it makes sense to know your product well and also the technique to apply it. Here are few basic things that would help you to hone your make-up skills with regard to lip gloss.
1. How to apply
Make-up can either make you look sophisticated or trashy. There is a very thin line. Idea is to not overdo it. You need to apply the lip gloss properly and not just randomly, lest you look like a clown. Instead of applying from left to right and top to bottom in a hap-hazard fashion, apply gloss to the middle of your bottom lip only. Then lightly rub your lips together. This would take care that gloss does not get too thick and goopy. Don’t over use the lip gloss, apply a little at a time to the upper and lower lips. However, if it gets a little too drippy, do not panic. There is a solution. Just smack your lips between a tissue paper that will absorb all the excess gloss.
2. When to apply
Lip gloss goes on after the lip stick and lip liner application. Other than that, lip gloss can be worn at all times, be it day time at your workplace, evening time or at night time in a party.
3. What shade to apply
Either wear a neutral shade or the one that matches and compliments your clothing. You can experiment when it is a casual affair, but be a little more careful around the formal events. Red lip gloss goes well with a red dress and pink with a pink dress. So when, in confusion go the neutral way because neutral goes well with almost everything.
4. Which lip gloss to apply
Know your product as well as the ingredients well before to make your purchase. You can always trust good brands like Mac, Nars etc. Always be extra careful if you are allergic to cosmetic products and ask for hypoallergenic variety. Also use a lip gloss that hydrates and moisturizes your lips. The one that does not have moisturizing properties would leave your lips dry and chapped.
