Lip-gloss application

• Firstly one has to choose the correct lip-gloss depending on the colour of one's lips.
• Glamorous one's with glitters should be saved for parties or important occasions. If the glitter in the gloss seeks to prick or hurt the lips, it is wise to give up using the gloss.
• As the name goes, lip-gloss generally seeks to provide a glossy effect to the lips and does not always seek to provide that satiny kissable texture to the lips. Hence apply a lip balm prior to applying a lip-gloss. Balms also help the colour to set perfectly.
• Lip-glosses generally provide to accentuate the lips. Women with thick lips need to use it sparingly.
• Lip-gloss applied over lipstick seeks to uplift the colour of the lipstick.
• It gives a simple next-door girl looks if applied nude.
• Apply lip-gloss on the middle of the lower lips and rub lips together for the gloss to spread evenly and to avoid looking goopy.
• If you have applied too much just use a tissue between both the lips and smack them to remove excess gloss.
