One should remember that perfection is ten percent inspiration
and ninety-nine percent perspiration. So searching for the lip
gloss that best suits the lip color and lip tone one has is an
endeavor that requires patience, perseverance and a little
(just a little) bit of luck. Hopefully, the following tips will
better the chances of discovering the lip gloss that best suits
the lips you have on you.

1. Be open, do not forget to experiment!
There are numerous brands of lip gloss and the prices of each
vary. A $7 lip gloss bought at a neighborhood drugstore is not
necessarily inferior in quality compared to an $18 Poole lip
gloss compact. A very popular, good value-for-money product for example is Joey New York Super Duper Lips Kit
 .
Lips could only appreciate the texture,
smoothness, silkiness of the gloss or feel its heaviness,
stickiness, or icky-ness. Little do lips care about how much
the lip gloss cost or where it was bought. Though high-end lip
glosses at times do offer a super-glossy feel that it almost
glides delightfully on the lips, there are also not too
expensive lip glosses like Bonne Bell which could give the
high-end brands a run for their money. A label is not
everything. Sometimes, a great find could be found in dollar
stores. Try your luck, win or lose, its all worth a dollar.
But, if buying in a drugstore or at Wal-mart, make sure that
extensive research has been done on the lip gloss product you
are considering of buying since drugstores offer no testers.
2. A Gloss Is Not Forever
- Reapply to preserve the dye
- Some brands, even the best ones, fade off after a few hours
- Some people really do not like the feel of a heavy gloss
- Judge by your lip color not anyone else's
3. Selection Tips
Make sure to choose a lip gloss based on the lip color you have
since the color of your lips automatically affects the color of
the gloss applied on it. Never choose based on how good or bad
a lip gloss looks on Jennifer Anniston or Angelina Jolie.
Jennifer has thin pale lips while Angelina has full pucker-up
ones. Naturally, yours is similarly worlds apart from theirs,
if not better. Lip gloss colors appear differently on different
kinds of people. One's own lip color plays an important part
because your natural lip color will shine through. So does your
natural lip tone, the pigmentation of the lip gloss, how
convenient is it when applied and whatever it is you're looking
for a lip gloss. Clearly this is as unique, individual and
personalized as it could be.
4. Not All That Glitters Is Good
No matter how great it looks, make sure that the lip gloss put
on the lips feels comfortable, as if it,s almost like it wasn?t
there. Lip gloss glitter that feels gritty or sharp should not
be tolerated by the lips or by you. Do not be afraid to return
it to the store and politely explain to the store clerk or -
preferably - the store manager your problem. It should be
exchanged for another less grittier tube. But if the same
trouble persists maybe it is time to change to a different
brand, specifically one that has not too much glitter that it
hurts.
5. Moisturize!
Be realistic, lip gloss gives lips a smooth shimmer, it does
not provide anyone with kissable cottony-soft lips. Lip balms
do that. Balms are not shiny. But it makes lips feel supple.
Apply a balm over the lips first before putting on a lip gloss,
this is to moisturize the lips. Gloss is supposed to be - you've
guessed it - glossy. If it does not, troop to the shop or store
where it was bought from, you are supposed to get the product
you purchased for.
6. Make Your Lips Fuller
Use a product like First ImpressionTM is the first three-part system specially designed to enhance the look AND the health of your lips. Without injections, pain or inconvenience.
This advanced formula naturally stimulates the production of both collagen and Hyaluronic acid, which both contribute to fuller, softer lips. Recently, fashion magazines have praised these lip-enhancing compounds for helping achieve full, kissable lips without the swelling and irritation of cheap lip enhancers or expensive injections.
