You could say that Yolanda Lukowski knows a thing or two about gloss, having prettified hot young things Lily Allen and Isabel Lucas, in between creating looks for Cosmo and Cleo. Luckily she always has a spare five minutes to sit down with beautyheaven to talk logistics, like getting lip gloss to stay put!
So how do we do it?
“The best way to get lip gloss to stay put is to put the gloss on FIRST, then lightly around the edge of your lips, apply lipliner. This keeps the gloss ‘in’, so it doesn’t seep. It’s also a fresh and more modern way to apply lipliner, so you don’t get the heavy, dated line that was popular back in the ‘90s.”
Get your gloss on with these bh picks:
Maybelline New York Superstay Powergloss – Nigel Stanislaus, Maybelline New York Make-up Artist’s pick: “you first apply the colour and let it dry before applying a glossy top coat.”
Max Factor Lipfinity Colour and Gloss – a double-ended gloss with the staying power of that cult classic, Lipfinity.
Prestige Cosmetics Lightshine Lipgloss – this high shine, non-stick gloss has a semi-sheer, weightless feel and finish. Dreamy.
Clinique Colour Surge Impossibly Glossy – an office fave, this lightly moisturising formula comes in a variety of pearly shades.
MAC Tinted Lipglass – this highly pigmented, super shiny gloss feels amazing. Try Steal My Heart for night or Pink Lemonade for day.
Melli Cosmetics Lip Gel – this vitamin-enriched beauty keeps lips moist and supple all day and night.
Lip gloss is just not meant to stay put
