Gloss, Set, Go!

A gloss is just as significant as your choice in lipstick. Sometimes, using a gloss by itself can be more beneficial if you're looking for a little shine and a lot of spark!

My favorites include MAC's line of glosses, they are a little sticky, but the colors complement so well, even if you use them without any lipstick.
Preferred: Cultured, Nymphette, Revealing

Cultured: A hint of pink + purple = Ideal

Nymphette: A mix of golds and pinks give you the perfect gloss to mix with any lipstick.

Revealing:
A brownish, nude shade that complements your lips by itself, or a lipstick of your choice.

MAC has a range of brands they are promoting based on seasons, like the Dazzleglass lipglosses, which combine a mix of shimmer in the color and look fabulous on your lips!

Personal Favorite: Moth to a Flame, which is a mix of neutral glossy earth tones with a hint of shimmer, and wearing it alone give your lips the perfect amount of shine.



If you're typically just looking for a lip shine, with no color, my suggestion is a clear LipGlass by MAC or Juicy Tubes by Lancome.


Pain: Do not rub your lips to blend the lipglass in, it's extremely sticky and will prevent any kiss exchanges you're planning...if you're a shine-seeker, Lancome would be a better option.

Gain: Both products provide a glossy shine to your lips and you'll soon become addicted!
