To start layering your face gloss, Lori Leib, a professional makeup artist and the creative director of Bodyography, recommends using a base that matches the texture of your face gloss. “If I use a face gloss or creamy highlighter, I prefer to layer it on a dewy foundation formula,” she tells Elite Daily.

“To achieve an editorial glossy complexion without looking sweaty, it is all about application and placement,” Leib says. “Be sure to apply the face gloss to the points you want to highlight, such as the tops of the cheekbones, brow bones, and nose bridge.”

One use of face gloss can be for creating an ultra-shiny eye. You can use your gloss over any eyeshadow to add a wet look to your lids. While this look will crease, in Leib’s words, that’ll only add to its allure.
