Get Glossy

GET READY TO SHINE ALL

SEASON LONG! A glossy pout, as seen on AW22 runways for Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu, is trending and it makes for a fun switch-up from matte lippies.

“Glosses can add a kind of fantasy aspect to makeup that can seem very futuristic,” says Toronto-based makeup artist Sheri Stroh. The look is almost foolproof, especially since formulas have come a long way from the sticky, goopy glosses of the ’90s. Now, there’s a variety of shades and textures, Stroh says, so you can go from completely transparent to boldly pigmented. Plus, a gloss won’t dry out your lips the way some matte lipsticks do, especially during cold weather. When choosing a gloss, make sure the formula isn’t too oily, as that can cause colour to migrate. If you want a look that will last longer, Stroh recommends staining your lips with a matching lipstick, lip liner or lip stain before your gloss. Apply, blot and lightly blend to create a transfer-proof stain that will last through many reapplications of gloss. — Lora Grady
