Apply Lip Gloss with Ease

If you are going for the full, pouty, model runway look, you may want to use a flat, smooth brush to apply gloss from the pot, beginning in the center of the lip, and working out to the sides, to give a balanced look. Whether you are applying it on top of lipstick, or alone, a brush gives you more control, and you can make it a narrow line from the corners of the mouth, thickening it at the widest spot in the center of your lip, to provide more shape through highlights.

For less obvious or attention-getting looks, you may want to blot your gloss the same way you do lipstick, in order to remove some of the light-reflecting qualities, as well as the stickiness.

Remember that to keep your lips moisturized, you should always apply a layer of lip balm before using gloss or lipstick. This also allows for smoother application. You can then experiment with the shades produced by using a clear gloss over colored lipstick, or the color you get from combining two different shades of lipstick and gloss. For a lighter, less dark color, you can apply a thin layer of concealer on your lips, and put the gloss over top.

For quick touch ups, and just a hint of light, apply your gloss with a fingertip in the center of your lips, then press together and move back and forth. This gives you a thin layer that brightens your lipstick or lips, without the glare of untouched gloss.
