Step By Step Tutorial
Follow these 6 simple steps to apply lip gloss perfectly.
Step 1: Prepping Your Lips
Start by prepping your lips. If you have dead skin cells or chapped/cracked lips, then scrub your lips before you start prepping. Massage the lip scrub all over your lips for about two to three minutes. Rinse it off.
Stylecraze Says
For a DIY scrub, mix olive oil and sugar and use it to gently cleanse and exfoliate your lips. Do not exfoliate your lips more than twice a week.
Step 2: Make Your Lips Soft
The next step is to use a lip balm or lip conditioner to get rid of the dryness. It will make your lips more soft and supple. Let the lip balm rest on the lips for about one to two minutes.
Step 3: Blot The Excess Lip Balm
Once you are done with applying the lip balm, take a tissue and blot the excess. This prevents the lipstick from bleeding and makes the application of the other products easier.
Step 4: Draw Line With Lip Pencil
Start by analyzing your lip shape. Using a lip pencil in the color of your choice, start the application from the center of the upper lip and follow the natural lip line till the corners of the lip. Follow the same procedure with the lower lip. You can also fill the entire lip with the same lip pencil as that works as a great base and helps the lip color to stay put for longer.

Quick Tip
You can also apply a little bit of foundation/concealer in the shade that matches your natural lip color. This would even out the lips in one go and provide an even base to work on. Another easy trick is to use a lip brush to smudge the line inward inside the lip to soften the line. This also creates a base for the lipstick application.
Step 5: Apply Lipstick
Now it’s time for the lipstick. Apply the lipstick with a lip brush using short strokes and fill the entire lips. Using a brush while applying lipstick adds precision to the application. Here, I have used a bright red lipstick.

Step 6: Apply Lip Gloss
Start applying the lip gloss from the center of the lips and drag the sponge applicator along the length of the lips. Avoid applying the gloss above the natural lip line. You can blot the excess lip gloss on a tissue paper. This will prevent the color from bleeding.
Stylecraze Says
To make your lip gloss last longer, apply it on top of a base of setting powder. To do that, first line your lips, then apply setting powder on them before applying lip gloss. You can put some gloss on the center of your bottom lip and then rub your lips together to spread it evenly without getting excess product on your lips.
