How to Choose a Gloss
Finding the right lipgloss is not an easy job. Not every colour fits our natural lip colour. Too balmy and or oily will caused our lips looks gross.
Keep these essentials in mind when making your choice.
- Consistency: Look for gloss that has a balmy, creamy consistency; it should feel emollient, not sticky.
- Pigment: Good lip gloss should have some color to it- an even, vibrant wash. But beware of brands with too much pigment; you end up having to blot them down.
- Scent: Unscented gloss tends to smell chemically, whereas some scented glosses can be saccharine sweet. Choose a smart gloss that has scent only on aplication and won't overwhelm you or others nearby.
- Application: Lip gloss should always come with its own applicator. What woman wants to stick her finger into a pot of lip gloss? A brush is great, but it won't yield as much control as an angled, "doe foot" sponge-tip applicator.
- Longevity: If a gloss has a good creamy base and a thorough, though not overpowering, pigment, it should last at least an hour on your lips. Gloss that's reapplied every hour or so will always keep a woman looking refreshed and put together.
Now, happy choosing! (VSPS/PRUK/DSMT07)
