Content: Lip gloss can be a difficult customer, and the last thing you want is for a sticky, clumpy application of gloss to overpower your look. By finishing all of your other makeup beforehand, you'll be able to clearly see if less is more, or if a heavier application is better after all. 2
Add a clear moisturizer to make your lip gloss last longer. By applying a small amount of petroleum jelly or lip balm to your lips evenly, you can extend the life of your lip gloss. Simply take your finger or an applicator and rub a small amount on your lips, removing any unnecessarily thick or clumpy parts with tissue or Q-tips. 3
Use a lip pencil to really bring out your lips. Trace the edges of your lips with your lip pencil. To make this look appear natural, you'll have to gently blend in the lip pencil when applying your lip gloss. To bring out your mouth shape with a lip pencil, trace your pencil from the middle part of your top lip and follow its border until you reach the corner. Repeat this for both sides for both top and bottom lip.
