We love the shine that lipgloss gives our lips. We love the bee stung look that only a lipgloss can give us. Alas, it hardly stays. One lick of the lips and the gloss and shine are gone. Here’s a solution to making your gloss last long:

• Exfoliate dry, flaky patches from the lips with a damp, soft bristled brush. When the surface is smooth apply a moisturising lip balm.
• Line your lips with a lip liner that matches the natural colour of your mouth. Trace along your natural lip line and not beyond it. Then fill in the lips.
• Make sure to blend well. Then finish up with plumping lipgloss. When you begin application wipe off extra gloss from the applicator and start from the centre of your lips and blend outwards.
• Keep inside the border to avoid bleeding. Apply a second layer of gloss for a full on pout.
