How To Make Your Lipgloss Last For Longer Than Five Minutes

FINALLY.

Cathy Donohue

If you’re constantly retouching your lipgloss, you’re going to love this simple beauty hack.

Understandably, most of us use the applicator that comes with said lipgloss to apply the product but according to one expert, this is the completely wrong way to go about things.

While working at the Max Mara Autumn Winter 2016 show at Milan Fashion Week yesterday, make-up artist Tom Pecheux used a brush to apply the lip product (this is where we’ve been going wrong).

Explaining the beauty themes for the show to Allure, he also said that letting the product set and dry for a couple of minutes is important.

Finally, when applying a final coat of gloss (and this is the key if you want your lip look to last longer), Tom avoided using the product at the edges of the lips.

He says leaving room for your gloss to ‘spread out’ is the best way to ensure you don’t have to reapply every five minutes. YES.
