We also like to apply a lip serum that helps fill out fine lines and wrinkles, like Fresh’s Sugar Lip Serum Advanced Therapy ($35, )ĥ. Kashuk says to exfoliate with a lip scrub and then hydrate your lips with a lip balm. “Always choose a pencil that matches your lip color, otherwise match the pencil to your gloss color.” You can also use a matte lipstick to do the very same thing if you don’t have a lip liner handy.Įven lip gloss calls for prep steps-you don’t want your color sinking into lines, or sticking to dry skin. “Gloss has a lot of movement, so always apply a lip pencil for a matte base to keep it in place first,” Sonia says. Turns out, the product can help prolong your gloss. Yes Virginia, you CAN make your gloss into a longwear product-and the secret is lipliner. “The nature of shine is that it has lots of movement and shorter wear,” explains Kashuk. You’ll definitely have to swipe it on a few times to maintain that high gloss. It may be easy to apply, but that doesn’t mean it’s low-maintenance. Sonia says that a high-shine finish creates “the illusion of larger lips” without the pain of plumpers. The best thing about shine? It instantly makes your lips look fuller-and if it’s a choice between overdrawing our lips, applying a stinging lip plumper or slicking on a coat of gloss, we’re picking gloss every time.

And who knows gloss better than Sonia Kashuk, celebrity makeup artist and founder of Sonia Kashuk Beauty? The beauty pro shared all her secrets for wearing lip gloss like a grown-up-here areġ. Even though fall is all about the matte lips, in our opinion, lip gloss isn’t going anywhere. The high shine lip product has been in our makeup bags since we were 13, and thanks to celebrities like Kim Kardashian, our teen obsession is just as common on the red carpet as a swipe of red lipstick. But perhaps the reason we love it the most is because it’s so user-friendly-once you know what you’re doing, of course.
