How to apply lip gloss for a stunning look

Lip gloss is a must-have in every makeup bag, but it can be tricky to get it right. Whether you're going for a natural look or a bold and glossy finish, here are a few tips and tricks you can use to make sure your lips look stunning.

First things first, let’s make sure your lips are prepped and ready. Start by exfoliating your lips gently with a lip scrub or a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove any dead skin cells. Then apply a lip balm to keep your lips moisturized and smooth.

Next, it's time to apply the gloss. If you're going for a natural look, use a lip brush to apply a small amount of gloss to the centre of your bottom lip, then press your lips together to spread the gloss evenly. For a bolder look, you can apply the gloss directly from the tube starting at the centre of your bottom lip and working your way outwards.

One important thing to keep in mind is to not overdo it with the gloss and that a little goes a very long way!

When it comes to the colour of your lip gloss, you can choose from a wide range of shades whether you like a natural nude or prefer bold pink or red. If you're not sure what colour will look best on you, try swatching a few shades on your hand or arm to get a better idea and see what feels right.

A great choice is the NYX Lip Lustre Lip Gloss which is available In 4 gorgeous shades. Your lips will have a high gloss and a hint of vivid colour thanks to NYX's Lip Gloss! Lip Lustre offers a lightweight, silky-smooth texture that is ideal for wearing all day and night.
