Face gloss is typically used to add a dewy, highlighted effect to your face. Here's how to use it effectively:
- Application: Tap a small amount of face gloss onto the desired areas. Avoid rubbing, as this can disrupt your makeup and diminish the glossy effect.
Where to Apply Face Gloss:
- Eyelids: Apply a small amount to the center of your eyelids, either on bare skin for a subtle sheen or over eyeshadow to create a glossy, sexy look.
- Cheekbones: Use it as a highlighter by dabbing it onto the high points of your cheekbones for a dewy glow.
- Lips: Add a touch to the center of your lips over lipstick or on bare lips.
- Bridge of the Nose: A small dab here can create a highlight.
- Cupid's Bow: Applying a touch to your cupid's bow can enhance the shape of your lips.
Tips for Using Face Gloss:
- Start Small: A little goes a long way. Begin with a small amount and build up if needed.
- Use Your Fingers: The warmth of your fingers can help blend the gloss seamlessly into your skin.
- Avoid Over-Application: Too much gloss can look greasy rather than dewy.
- Set with Powder (Optional): If you are concerned about the gloss migrating, you can lightly set the surrounding areas with a translucent powder.
Things to Consider:
- Stickiness: Some face glosses can be sticky, so choose a formula that you find comfortable.
- Product Compatibility: Be mindful of what you're layering the gloss over. Some powders or foundations might not interact well with gloss, leading to patchiness.
- Skin Type: Face gloss is generally suitable for all skin types, but those with oily skin might want to use it sparingly.
Face gloss provides a modern, dewy look to the face. Experiment with different application techniques to find the effect that suits you best.
