Lip gloss: 5 ways to use it in 2021

Lip glosses were at the peak of their popularity in the 2000s, when every self-respecting girl had several tubes in her makeup bag. Over time, the fashion for glosses faded away, but years later this beauty product is regaining its former glory, because a glossy coating on the lips is one of the main makeup trends of 2021 .

Fashion catwalks, advertising campaigns of popular brands, Instagram accounts of famous makeup artists and even the streets of the capitals of the world - girls with glossy lips are everywhere. It is not necessary to give preference to colored glosses - classic transparent products are also held in high esteem. With or without sparkles - the choice is yours.

Lip gloss is relevant for daytime and evening makeup , at a party, gala reception, meeting or important meeting - the variety of products that brands offer us will satisfy everyone's needs and allow you to choose a product for any occasion in life.

Another important point is the method of applying gloss. We decided to collect the most relevant ones so that the makeup looks you create are varied, original and individual.

Transparent lips

If your client likes to keep her makeup subtle, a clear gloss as her only lip product would be quite appropriate. Pre-moisturize the girl’s lips with balm: preferably before applying all makeup. When your makeup is ready, apply transparent gloss to the entire surface of your lips. For evening makeup, a gloss with small sparkles is suitable to create a beautiful shine on the lips.

Colored varnish

Luckily, in 2021, the choice of glosses is so huge that finding the right shade with a glossy finish won't be difficult. Red or crimson lacquered lips look incredibly appetizing and impressive, so take this method into account when creating colorful makeup looks for photo and video shooting, commercial projects or art makeup. Layer colored glitter for a wow effect! If you need a lasting effect, pay attention to liquid lipsticks and varnishes with a glossy finish.

Over lipstick

To save money and space in your makeup bag , use a clear gloss over your desired shade of lipstick. Modern beauty products interact wonderfully with each other, without spreading or smearing. Do not get carried away with the amount of product to make your lips look neat.

To add volume

Makeup artists quite often use gloss to visually increase the volume of the lips. In this case, apply lipstick in the desired shade, and then add a drop of transparent gloss to the central part of the upper and lower lips - they will instantly become more voluminous.

Matte lips

If you are crazy about the velvet effect on your lips, then pay attention to matte glosses. Their characteristics are similar to liquid matte lipsticks , so be precise and careful when applying them. If you are using a bright shade, outline your lips with a pencil in a suitable color.
