Glossy eyes are the new dewy skin and we've got the pictures to prove it. Move over, wet-look hair, it's all about wet-look eyes... Throw a little lip gloss on your eyelids and call it a day, because the newest and dewiest makeup trend is wet, wild and wonderfully simple.
The Verdict. Overall, I really liked the effect I got from wearing lip gloss as eyeshadow. It was a fun way to do a "wet" '90s supermodel look and was a cool way to use lip gloss in a way I never had before. Surprisingly, the results from this look worked really well with my skin.
You don't want them anywhere near your eyes. By using lipgloss on the eyes, you don't just risk an irritation. You could also get an infection. In the worst case scenario, it can lead to blindness!
“The peppermint oil in the lip balm is a very strong irritant and can cause inflammation in the eye, redness of the eye and swelling,” Cauthen said. Cauthen is warning parents to keep an eye on viral trends and make sure their children are not trying them.
However you can also use matte shades for a shimmer-free lip gloss finish. If you have many same kinda shades in your eyeshadow collection, recycle them as lip glosses! Step 3: Now mix both the lip balm and eye shadow together with the clean end of a spoon.
All you do is swipe the lip balm directly on top of your eyeshadow to pick up some pigment before gliding it across your eyelids. Balm meets shadow; balmy shadow meets lids. That's it.
With a tube of clear lip gloss in hand—one you've double-checked is safe for your eyes—you can easily get a glossy eyeshadow look without needing to make any new beauty purchases. Use a dense eye shadow brush to apply the lip gloss over top of your eye shadow to bring a wet eyeshadow look to life.
Makeup artist Thomas Halbert came up with a clever solution: he used liquid lipsticks as liner! These formulas go on as smoothly as any eyeliner you've ever used, but dry quickly to a matte finish that won't come off until you remove it.
Not only will lip balm hold your brow hairs in place, it'll also help keep them wonderfully moisturised and conditioned. You'll get a hint of shine that you can't usually achieve with a standard brow gel.
A good lip balm can do wonders for dry, chapped lips, but it can also help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking rosy cheeks without having to pull out another product from your makeup bag.
Lip gloss is often used when a person wants to have some color on their lips, but does not want an intense, solid lip color effect (i.e., a more "made-up" look), as lipstick would create. Lip gloss is also often used as an introduction to makeup.
Not only does lipstick make a terrible concealer (it sinks into creases like crazy, for one thing), it can also damage your eyes. It's true: red, orange and pink lipsticks (and liners) often contain carmine, an ingredient which can not only stain skin but can cause serious allergic reactions.
Insider says to blend the lipstick as a blush, dab a little color on your cheeks based on the shape of your face and use your fingers for a more precise application or a brush for blending.
If the product is properly labeled, you can check to see whether the color additives declared on the label are in FDA's list of color additives approved for use in cosmetics, then make sure they are listed as approved for use in the area of the eye.
Spread a very small amount of Vaseline on your lids before applying your eye shadow as you normally would and behold — the color looks so much more rich and vibrant. "It really does the trick," says Allure digital beauty reporter Devon Abelman, who cautions against a thick layer unless you're going for a glossy look.
When someone says you have glassy eyes, they typically mean your eyes look shiny or glazed over. This shine often makes the eye appear as though it's unfocused. There are many conditions, ranging from everyday to severe, that can cause glassy eyes.
Vaseline acts in the same way concealer or cream shadow does to help eye shadow look more vibrant. However, Vaseline seems to give the shadow more grip and makes it look more luminous. All you have to do is rub a little bit onto your lids before proceeding with your usual eye shadow techniques.
As A Highlighter
Smile first, place one dot of gloss on the apple of your cheeks, then blend away towards your ear. It will look so natural with a skin-like shine. "Because of the high pigment and the smoothness of the formulation of the lip gloss, blending is a breeze," Hennings explains.

If you like to wear a pop of color on your lips, lipstick is a better option because it has more pigment. Lipstick also works better if you're trying to overdraw your lips to create the illusion of a fuller pout. Lip gloss leaves a shiny finish to your lips and it's more hydrating and thicker than a typical lipstick.
Among the women surveyed, 67 percent said that they use lipstick or lip gloss to look better, making this the most common reason in the provided list. Other popular explanations for lip product use are for boosting confidence (41 percent) and to fit the occasion (37 percent).
Simply dab the lip gloss on your cheeks bones and near the brow bones. Then you can easily blend it using your fingertips or beauty blender. If you want to look extra ethereal and whimsical, you can apply the lips gloss on your nose and above brows as well.
Can I still put on lipgloss without lipstick? Yes, it will just change the look of the finish that you will get from the products.
Dab along your cheekbones later in the day to shine up dull skin and look glowy. Tap a little around your eyes to hydrate and minimize fine lines. Use it to keep wayward brow hairs in place, like brow gel. Mix some with eyeshadow to make eye gloss, when you're going for a dewy finish.
