HOW TO WEAR MATTE GLOSS
Are you ready to try our best matte lipstick? For flawless application, follow the steps below!
STEP 1: EXFOLIATE YO POUT
It doesn’t matter what lip product you use, it is a good idea for your lips to be prepped with a lip scrub. This will remove dead skin cells, and give you a smooth surface to apply your matte gloss. This will not cause flaky lips! Use the L’Oreal Paris Pure Sugar Nourish & Soften Cocoa scrub to dry your lips. Next, use your wet fingers to massage your pout with circular motions. Use lukewarm water to rinse thoroughly.
STEP 2: HYDRATE YOUR LOWER LIPS
While matte gloss can feel extremely comfortable on your lips, it is still advisable to moisturize your lips before applying any lip products. Before you move on to the final step, smooth a lip balm across your lips.
STEP 3: PAINT YOUR GLOSS
Grab your matte lipstick tube! It’s time for you to apply your gloss! Start at the middle of your upper lip. Next, work your way outwards from the center of your upper lip. Then, glide the applicator along your bottom lip and fill it in. Perfecto!
