Blue Lip Gloss

Blue lip gloss can be subtle or dramatic, depending on how you wear it. For an understated hint of color, wear a light blue lip gloss on bare lips. Elevate the look by layering it on top of lipstick, lip stain or lip liner; the blue reacts with pink and red tones to create a purple hue.

To harness the full visual impact of blue lip gloss, start with a base layer of blue lipstick. Deeply pigmented lip colors, such as Revlon Ultra HD Lip Mousse, can help you achieve maximum color depth. Top it with dark blue lip gloss for a rich, moody result.

The type of gloss you choose can also affect the aesthetic. Translucent blue gloss creates a metallic sheen, while more saturated glosses showcase the blue tones.

Brands including Revlon and NYX Professional offer blue lip glosses in different tones and finishes. For a fun, vibrant look, try the brilliant blue NYX Professional Makeup Candy Slick. L'Oreal Paris Galaxy Lumiere Holographic Lip Gloss has an iridescent pearl finish that allows your base color to peek through. Some types of lip gloss are formulated specifically for a nonsticky texture, while others use moisturizers to condition and hydrate your skin.

When you're wearing blue lip gloss on its own, soften your lips with a layer of bálsamo labial. Alternatively, apply your base lip makeup, and give it a minute or two to dry. To create a gentle sheen, place a dot of gloss on your bottom lip, and press your lips together to distribute the product. For a dramatic effect, apply the gloss to both lips.

Before you wash your face or use desmaquillador, wipe off your blue lip gloss with a tissue. Then, wash your face as usual. Finally, apply a lip moisturizer or face oil.
