BE A GLOSS GIRL

Translucent, slightly tinted or full-on juicy colour: highshine lips are making a comeback. From outlined pouts filled in with neutral shimmers to red glazed lips that ooze glamour, these high-shine variations are guaranteed to make lips the focal point of any look. The best thing about the Y2K lip gloss resurgence? The modern glosses have the same amount of shine sans the stickiness. Many formulations will even leave your lips feeling hydrated. Either juxtapose the glossy lip with matte makeup or allow your lips to match your glazed complexion.

Prep lips using a lip scrub followed by a lip balm.

Blot off excess balm with tissue and apply lipliner. Using short strokes, outline the edges of your lips as this will help define them as well as prevent your lipstick from feathering so it lasts longer.

Once you’ve lined your lips, apply your preferred lip colour.

For added plump and volume, choose a gloss containing subtly reflective particles or shimmer and layer it over your lipstick.
