A step-by-step tutorial on how to apply red lip gloss flawlessly
Step #1: Exfoliate and hydrate your lips
It is highly recommended to exfoliate and moisturize your lips with a lip balm or sugar scrub before applying red lip gloss. This helps your lips to be nice and smooth before applying such a bold to bring out texture and lines. It also creates the perfect canvas for lipstick with all-day staying power and ensures that your lips don’t have any dry spots that may flake off
Step #2: Use Correct Color
Find a lip pencil and lipstick that matches because you’ll need the two to be of the same tone. The lip liner can be slightly deeper but not too far from the tone of the lip pencil and lipstick.
Step #3: Trace and fill lips with liner
Sharpen your lip pencil for a smooth and sharp line. Create an X at your cupid bow to map out your lip using the lip liner. Everyone has a different cupid bow shape.
Step #4: Work with your lip shape
After that, create a line at the bottom of your lips. Tilt your head back and start to fill out the corner giving it a greater than and a less than sign.
Step #5: Layer your lipsticks from the center to outward
Create little dashes till you can connect the whole line. Filling in your lips first with the lip pencil makes it last longer.
Step #6: Use a lip brush for a precise line
Take your red lipstick, use your lip brush to pick the lipstick and go right on top of the lip liner that was first laid down to smooth everything out. Use a concealer to conceal the lines if you made a small mistake.
Tips: During this process, make sure the lines are connected.
Step #7: Blot and set your color
Blot away any excesses, once your lips are flawlessly coated and the formula is set. You can do this by gently squeezing lips together over a napkin to prevent slippage and remove excess product. Make sure to avoid having lipsticks on your teeth.
Tips: If you’re looking for high shine, apply a full sweep of red lip gloss to the bottom lip and press lips together.
How to Make Red Lip Gloss Last
Lip gloss notably has poor staying power. A couple of windswept hair on your lips or lip lick and it’s game over. Here’s a handy trick from legendary makeup artists: Filling in your lips with lip liner or pencil makes it last. Then set with powder and add your red lip gloss on top of this base to stick around longer.
