How do you use face gloss?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

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.
