How To Wear Lip Gloss During Summer Season? A Guide To Pick The Right Products

The summer season is here and ’tis is the season for lip gloss! But we all know that this garmi ka mausam comes with some downsides as well. As much as we love lip gloss in this season it can be hard to wear one because it often tends to get sticky and smudges easily. The glossy shine is a must for the summer season but the humidity makes it seems thick and sticky on our lips and practically ruins our look. And that’s the biggest reason why most of us tend to keep our distance from this beautiful summer makeup product. But considering that this season is all about taking a break from lipsticks, we’ve got tips on how to pick the perfect lip gloss for summer.

Tips To Pick The Right Lip Gloss

1. Find Your Shade

Before anything else, it is important to pick the right shade or tint of your lip gloss. Make sure to take your lip colour, skin tone and undertones into consideration when picking your lip gloss shade.

2. Pick The Right Formula

Since we’re picking a lip gloss for summer, it’s essential to take the formula into consideration. Make sure you don’t take one that has petroleum, wax or artificial pigments. Try to pick a lightweight and non-sticky formula.

3. Go Natural

We know the winter season tends to dry up our lips but did you know that the summer season can also do the same? So, try to pick an all-natural lip gloss which is infused with natural oils.

4. Hydration Is A Must

Pick a lip gloss that not only gives your lips some shine but also hydrates your lips and keeps them nourished.

5. Try It Out First

If possible try out your lip gloss before you buy it. If the place you buy your beauty products from gives out samples or has sanitised makeup testers, try to take your lip gloss for a test drive before you invest in it.

Makeup Hacks To Wear You Lip Gloss Right

1. Prep Your Lips

Always prep your lips by cleaning them with a damp washcloth or exfoliating them before applying anything. Another thing to remember is to use a lip liner pencil and primer on your lips and set it with a setting powder before applying lip gloss to make it last longer.

2. Turn To Clear Gloss

If nothing else works for your lips in summers, stick to a lightweight clear gloss. You can always apply a layer of your favourite lip colour before applying the gloss.

3. Application Technique

How you apply your lip gloss plays an important role in how long it stays on your lips and how it feels on your lips. Never apply your lip gloss like lipstick. Just apply a little bit of product in the middle of your bottom lips and then rub your lips together. This makes sure that you don’t get too much gloss on your lips and it doesn’t feel thick and goopy.

Have a glossy summer, ladies!
