Super Shiny Lips - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

OK girls,

I have bought several "lip shining" glosses but nothing looks as shiny like what girls are wearing in the magazines. What are they using????! I want that really "wet" look, almost like glass. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I dont know if any of you read Honey magazine but Brandy is on the cover this month and she has super shiny lips.

In the magazine they do A LOT with computers, they can digitally make their lips look that shiny. I've noticed as long as you take care of your lips, and they're in great condition if you apply any lip gloss it looks like glass, but not for a long time, you need to constantly re-apply. My friend uses vaseline, its really greasy on the lips but looks great.

Try L'Oreal's GLASS SHINE, it is really super shiny but thick enough that it doesn't come right off. I have the color honey halo and I like it a lot.

I agree with Gummi. Magazines are all fluff, so they could be using anything from Vaseline to cooking oil. I too like the shiny look, so I swear by:
1) Cargo lip gloss
2) MAC lipglass
3) Wet n'Wild clear gloss
Plain old Vaseline is good too. Even those 99 cent roll on glosses that you find at hair salons fair pretty well.

VASOLINE. I used to model and do beauty pageants and we were always told to put vasoline on our teeth to make us smile bigger and brighter and on our lips to help them look healthier and shinier. I hope this helps.
