Glossy

Glossy is a popular makeup finish that helps you achieve a shiny, reflective finish on the skin, lips, or eyes. It’s all about creating a dewy and radiant look that catches the light and adds dimension to the face. The ‘glossy makeup’ trend has been around for a while and is constantly evolving, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years with the onset of the ‘no makeup makeup look’.

How to achieve a glossy look?

There are a variety of products and techniques used to achieve a glossy look, and it can be done with both makeup and skincare products. One of the most common techniques is using a glossy highlighter to add shine to the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and Cupid’s bow. This creates a luminous effect that draws attention to these areas and gives a youthful, fresh appearance.

Another way to achieve a glossy look is through lip gloss. This product can be used alone or layered over lipstick to add shine and moisture to the lips. Some lip glosses also contain plumping ingredients that can make the lips appear fuller and more defined.

Glossy eye makeup is also a popular trend, especially for editorial and high-fashion looks. This involves using shiny eyeshadows or adding a glossy finish to matte eyeshadows with a clear gloss or balm. The glossy effect on the eyes creates a wet, reflective look that adds drama and intrigue to any makeup look.

To achieve a full glossy look, some makeup artists use a radiant finish foundation or BB cream, which gives the skin a natural, healthy glow. They may also use a setting spray or facial mist with a dewy finish to lock in moisture and add extra shine.
