HOW TO APPLY PINK LIP GLOSS FOR A PERFECT POUT

Putting on lip gloss may seem like a walk in the park—and it is—but there are a few extra steps that can help you get the most out of your favorite glossy formula.

Step #1. Use a lip scrub. The trick to flawless lip gloss application is all in the prep work. Start by using a lip scrub to exfoliate your pout, leaving you with a smooth, soft surface. Try the L’Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Nourish & Soften Cocoa Scrub, which doubles as both a lip and face scrub.

Step #2. Smooth on a lip balm. After exfoliating, you’ll want to give your lips a boost of moisture. Slather on a hydrating lip balm to do just that.

Step #3. Line your lips. Next, take the time to define your lip shape with the help of a coordinating lip liner, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Never Fail Lipliner in Pink. Line just outside your natural lip line, then fill in your lips with the liner.

Step #4. Apply your gloss. The moment you’ve been waiting for—your pink lip gloss! Apply beginning in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to the outer edges of your lips, following the contour of your mouth. Glide across the bottom lip and fill in.
