SHINE, BABY, SHINE

Some things look better in the dark, but lips can always use a touch of shine. Every girl needs at least one gloss in her purse. And if you have to leave something out to fit it in, skip the mirror. Gloss is so easy to wear, you can put it on without looking. And you can still get your color fix.There are lots of shiny shades to keep you in the light. Dim the lights in the day with a subtle shimmer. Turn on the high beams at dusk with a deep dazzle. Go completely nude underneath or slip it on over lipcolor. Either way, you’ll be brilliant.

HOW TO CHOOSE

Here are a few considerations so you can make a brilliant choice.

• Form: Available in a pot, tube or with a wand applicator, the most common form of lip gloss is a liquid formula such as Shiny-licious lip gloss. We also suggest you try Lip Polish for a creamy liquid gel gloss that feels luscious on lips.
• Application: Glosses also differ in methods of application. The most familiar types are wand, like Lip Polish, and tubes, which can have specially designed applicator tips, like Shiny-licious with its soft-touch tip. For precise definition and a revolutionary applicator that automatically flows color through, try Shine Seduction.
• Coverage: Lip glosses vary in coverage. If you want to go for barely there, sheer color, Shiny-licious is calling your name. Shine Seduction offers medium coverage, while creamy Lip Polish provides full coverage. All three types of coverage are perfect for the day. Medium and full coverage work harder at night for a more put-together pout.
• Finish: Finally, finish plays an important role in picking your perfect lip gloss. All Maybelline glosses are high-shine, meaning that the shine is ON! And there are even more ways to shine. Decide if you want a full-coverage cream finish. If you want to dial up the drama, try a deep shade with shimmer for a look that simmers.

HOW TO FIND MY SHADE

Gloss comes in a wide range of shades, so you’re sure to be dazzled by the choices. Just remember to factor in the coverage level and finish when you’re shade shopping. A sheer-coverage shade will look dark in the tube but will leave just a tint of color. And a reflective, shimmering finish can change the way a color looks on your lips.
