Fashion Magazine: High-Gloss Lips
I used to be strictly a gloss girl. It really wasn’t until my mid-20’s that I discovered the world of lipstick. I then went through a strictly bold lipstick phase. Now I have an assortment of lippies on hand to fit whatever mood I am in. When I do reach for a gloss I often pair it with one of my current favourite lipsticks. Using a gloss adds an instant boost of hydration and gives the illusion of more plumped lips, something most of us are after! Here I went with a soft coral toned lipstick paired with a sheer gloss. Follow these three steps for your perfect glossy pout.
Step 1: Start by prepping your lips, my favourite product for this is Fresh “Sugar Lip Polish”. After your lips are prepped, line them and lightly fill them in with a neutral toned lip liner.
Step 2: Apply your lipstick. Use a lip brush for a more precise application. I recommend using a matte long-lasting lipstick or blotting off any shine from your lipstick after application. Here I used Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution lipstick which is very hydrating so my lips didn’t feel dry.
Step 3: Use a high-gloss lacquer and apply it all over the lips. My current go-to is Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Lustre Glosses, they give the perfect amount of shine. Lastly take a little extra gloss on your finger tip and dab it in the centre of the lips.
