Lip gloss adds temporary shine to the lips. A good lip gloss will give your lips a healthy sheen while hydrating. An extensive range of lip glosses can be found at Sephora that provide skin-perfecting benefits while adding shine to your lips. Some glosses double as a balm or plump the lips.
When purchasing a popular lip gloss on Sephora, consider the consistency and size of the product and the skin benefits it possesses.
The consistency of the lip gloss you purchase on Sephora will determine the color, level of shine and the length of time the gloss stays on your lips. If the formula is very pigmented, the color will appear brighter and add more shine. If the consistency is sheer, the look of the gloss will fade sooner. If the product comes in a glossy cream consistency, you will likely have to continuously reapply or blot the gloss, depending on the color. You can apply more gloss than usual for added shine if the product is clear, because it will not show noticeable buildup or look cakey.
The cost of the lip gloss is influenced by the size of the product. Consider purchasing a larger size so it will last longer and you will not have to buy a new one so quickly. Though the larger sizes appear more expensive, they are well worth purchasing over travel-sized or mini products because they will save you the time it takes to re-order as well as, potentially, multiple shipping costs.
When purchasing a popular lip gloss, consider the skin benefits it provides beyond bringing shine to the lips. A good lip gloss includes vitamins and oils that bring moisture to the lips to allow for a healthy, plump look. Sephora-certified Clean beauty products feature more natural skin-perfecting benefits and work to hydrate the lips without using toxic chemical substances. Before purchasing a lip gloss, make sure it contains hydrating ingredients so your lips don’t get dry and flaky.
Lip gloss on Sephora can be priced anywhere from $5-$45. A lip gloss made by a popular brand, in a bigger size with multiple skin-perfecting ingredients, will be priced higher.
To apply a lip gloss from Sephora, first use the applicator to dab a little on your lower lip. Rub your top and bottom lips together until the gloss is evenly spread. If you desire an extremely glossy look, continue to build the formula until you get the consistency and level of shine you want.
A. A lip gloss temporarily coats the lips with shine while a stain gives them long-lasting color, soaking into the lip tissue. A stain lasts longer than a gloss and delivers pigmented color rather than fading quickly.
A. Wax, oils and petroleum jelly are the most common ingredients that make lip gloss shine. Lip glosses that use more natural ingredients will not contain wax and petroleum jelly. These substances and oils sit on top of the lips and coat them, allowing shine to linger until it is either wiped off or soaks in.
The most popular lip gloss on Sephora is the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer due to its natural components and wide shade range.
