How to make lip gloss last longer? Our essential tips
Who hasn't seen their pretty lip gloss disappear after a few sips or a simple kiss? Yet, having shiny, plump, and radiant lips all day long is possible... provided you know the right tips!
In this article, we reveal 5 simple and effective tips to make your lip gloss last longer — even on the most intense days.
1. Prepare your lips well
Before you even think about lip gloss, make sure your lips are soft and smooth . Why? Because lip gloss doesn't adhere well to dry or damaged surfaces.
Tip : Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub or a homemade sugar and honey mixture. Then, moisturize with a light balm.
💡 A well-prepared lip is the basis for long-lasting wear!
2. Use a lip primer or pencil
Few people think about it, but applying a clear lip liner or your favorite lip pencil creates a perfect base. It allows the gloss to adhere and limits smudging.
You can also apply a little foundation or concealer to your lips to neutralize their natural color and help the gloss stand out better.
3. Layer with strategy
Here's a pro tip: Start with a thin layer of creamy or satin lipstick , then layer your gloss on top. This adds coverage and extends wear without drying it out.
✨ The red + gloss combo = pigmented AND shiny lips for hours.
4. Apply your gloss in small touches
Better to pat the gloss on in the center of the lips and stretch it out to the edges rather than applying it in a thick layer. Too much product will slide off or evaporate quickly.
Choose a gloss with a non-sticky, well-formulated texture . Our [CHIK] glosses are designed to combine shine, comfort, and long-lasting hold!
5. Avoid rubbing your lips
We often do it without thinking: rubbing our lips, talking, drinking through a straw... These little gestures make the gloss disappear faster.
Try to keep your lips relaxed, drink directly from the glass if possible, and make light but regular touch-ups.
