How to Make Lipgloss Last

Lip gloss adds shine to your smile.

Applying lip gloss is one of the last steps when doing your makeup. While this final sequence can set off the rest of your face and define your lips, lip gloss is often the first part of your makeup to wear away. With these steps, it is quite easy to keep your lip gloss lasting longer to ensure you will have a perfectly pretty pout.

Things You'll Need

• clean mascara wand
• lip balm
• face powder
• lip liner

Instructions

1. Brush a clean mascara wand across your lips to remove any dry skin.

2. Apply clear moisturizing lip balm.

3. Leave your lips looking natural, or add a distinct shade on your lips by applying lipstick over the lip balm. Then, dust your lips with face powder to create a base for lip gloss to stick to. If applying shaded lipstick for color, apply it again over the powder at this time.

4. Line your mouth with lip liner. Choose a shade that will either match your lipstick or blends with your skin tone, if you want a natural look.

5. Apply your lip gloss over the face powder for a long-lasting look.
