Get Your Shine On With Lip Gloss

Most of the time, we talk about perfume here, but oftentimes we discuss makeup and other beauty products. Today, let’s talk about how to get your shine on!

To add a little shine to your makeup routine, top your lipstick with a gloss. It’s a great way to take your daytime look and bring it into the evening.

Many forms of lip gloss exist - wands, pots, tubs and sticks. You should pick a lip gloss that adds shine but doesn’t get sticky.

And don’t use too much! It will end up making your lip color slide off your mouth.

To get your lipstick and gloss looking its best, start out by lining your lips with a lip liner that’s similar to your natural lip color. Then fill in your lips with your favorite lipstick. Add just a dab of lip gloss to your bottom lip in the center. Then you just need to smack your lips to distribute the shine.

Some of my favorite lip glosses include:

M·A·C Pro Longwear Gloss Coat
From M·A·C Cosmetics this lip gloss is shiny and lasts a long time. It comes in clear and some pearly shades like Mirror, Pearlizer and Crystalizer. You can grab it online or at your local M·A·C retailer.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss
I am a big fan of Estee Lauder perfume and I love their cosmetics too. This colorful gloss comes in lots of fun shades, giving you shine and a little boost of color. My favorite is subtle Rhubarb. But you can choose everything from Clear to bright Cranberry.

NARS Lip Lacquer
This super shiny lip gloss from NARS comes in a pot. You can apply it with a brush or with your finger tip. I like to wear this on top of lipstick, but it has enough color and shine to wear it on its own. Choose from 16 fabulous shades.
