Lip Gloss Trick

Fuller lips have been the desire of women all over the world. A full pout in a woman is often considered sensual and the look can be achieved with the help of lip gloss.

Lipsticks and lip liners color define the lips, whereas lip gloss gives them a fresh, glistening look. You can apply lip gloss on top of the lipstick or use a colored gloss to achieve a more natural look.

Here are the buying and wearing gloss secrets of the world:

Using Lip Gloss

• For a natural look, use a neutral lip liner and then fill in the lips with pink or peach lip gloss. The lips will be shiny and attractive without distracting from other features.
• To plump up the lips, apply the lip liner followed by the lipstick and then use a brush to apply the lip gloss in the centre of the lower lip. Smack the lips together for an even application. If the shimmer is too much for the occasion, dust the lips with a little powder.
• Choose the lip gloss color depending on your skin tone, often referred to as temperatures such as warm or cool. Golds and reds look better with light coloring; pinks and raspberries look good with dark skin and hair. You must, however, experiment with other colors too.

Buying Lip Gloss

• Ask…ask…ask…when you are buying lip gloss or any other cosmetic, ask away all your doubts. Pick the salesperson's brains for latest brands, benefits and prices. Cheaper brands can be tacky and sticky, but some cheap names can outperform branded stuff.
• Check the color of the gloss against your skin just as you would check a lipstick shade.
• Lip glosses come in convenient pots and tubes; chose the product that suits you. Using a brush to apply lip gloss is the best method since it gives most even spread. In such case, a pot will be more economic and convenient.
• Lip gloss can be water resistant, ask for the variety you desire.

Potential Problems

Sometimes lip gloss can cause lips to peel and get clumpy. Most common causes of the condition are:

• The lip gloss may have expired. The formula of glosses made of petroleum jelly and pigment separates over time, making the jelly incapable of holding moisture in your lips. Throw out your lip gloss after three to four months.
• Alcohol based lip glosses cause drying and consequently peeling of lips. Read labels carefully and avoid these glosses. Use water or oil based glosses that trap the moisture on the lips.
• The condition could also indicate that there is a buildup of dead skin on your lips. You can get rid of dead skin from lips by gently buffing it with toothbrush once a day.
