Any makeup look can be made sleek, sexy or modern with a good dose of lip gloss, so give your lipstick a splashy makeover with these shiny lip tips!

1. Apply your lipstick with a lip brush for a professional finish. Red lipstick looks especially great with gloss, or you could try nude for a natural look.

4. Clean up the edges of you lips with a tissue, and Done…, shiny, glossy lips with great color that will last you well into the day or night in fashion.
