Glossy Lips
By Maria
A simple lipstick with minimum gloss, almost indecipherable, is a passe. A prominently applied lipstick which has a lot of gloss and the ability to make heads turn is the order of the day these days. True enough! I mean why would you apply it if no one can see it (well almost!)! In case you were shying away from putting on some extra shine to your lips and flaunt it, may be reading about glossy lips would perhaps give you a push to do so!
How to Get Glossy Lips
Tip #1
The visual impact is what is most prominently experienced. If your lips look completely out of sync with your complexion, it is going to be a major catastrophe. Hence, choosing the right color when you pick up the lip makeup is extremely important. That includes lip gloss, chiefly along with lipstick and lip liner. Having done that, half the battle is won there. Neutral or light shade, for instance, can give a lovely, natural look. Choose shades which will compliment your complexion well.
Tip #2
When you go for lip gloss, it is also important to determine what is the level of gloss which you can carry off easily. The higher the degree of gloss, the super slick and glossy your lips would look. It is better to take care while applying the lip gloss in this case. You need a very different temperament to carry off the shiniest of the lip gloss for glossy lips. Too much glitter can bedazzle and blind the person in front of you and you would not want that, would you?!
Tip #3
Exfoliating your lips and then applying the lip makeup is essential. If your lips are smooth and then lip gloss is applied on them, they can look absolutely dazzling, specially in sunlight. Hence, compliment your favorite gloss by doing some gentle exfoliation. Ensure that there are no flakes and no dryness for the those perfect shiny and pouty lips!
Tip #4
Another tip which will help get those perfect, glossy lips is to use a lip cream or lip balm daily. These products will prevent your lips from becoming dry and help keep lip makeup in place. In addition to the normal cream, using a sun protection balm can further be beneficial. These things protect the lips from getting damaged on account of weather changes.
Tip #5
Lip liner is inevitable when you want those perfectly kissable lips and woo your man. Let the lips look soft and plump by cranking up the color by lining the lips with the liner and then filling your lips using a lip pencil corresponding to the shade of the liner. Finally, for glossy lips apply the lip gloss on top of the liner. Start at the center of each lip and then feather out. The best part about using a lip liner is that first, it enhances the gloss brought about by the lip gloss. Moreover, it helps the gloss to stay longer and helps give appearance of fuller lips.
Tip #6
Avoid using thicker and intense hues in lip gloss as they might lead your lips to be dry as moisturizing lip gloss is not always available. May be you can try putting a speck on the lower lip in the center and then rub your lips together or consider spreading it using a brush to avoid a goopy look. If you think it is too much still, use a tissue to blot the extra gloss. A similar thing you can do is hunt out an eye shadow which will go with your lip color and then put it in the area where the upper and lower lip join together.
Ultimately, before you call it a day, carrying the glossy lips for most part, cleaning it up properly is a must using cleansing lotions and moisturizers and other lip careproducts.
See? Glossy lips are not really a difficult proposition and can easily be attained with a bit of care ad conscious efforts. But make sure you do not go over board or else rather than kissable lips, you would have 'killable lips'!
