Was that a long read? Let me explain it more simply…
What is the story
Pop star Rihanna and her beauty brand, Fenty Beauty, have introduced a new makeup technique called double glossing.
The trend has quickly gained popularity on TikTok, with users eager to share their experiences.
Many content creators were initially skeptical when they discovered this tip, but quickly adopted it after testing it out for themselves.
Unlike other trending beauty trends on the platform, double gloss has garnered widespread excitement and support.
The Art of Dual Annotation: A Step-by-Step Guide
For a double gloss effect, first apply a generous amount of your favorite lip oil, then your lip gloss of choice.
For a longer-lasting effect, apply your lip tint before your lip oil and gloss for great results.
According to a video going viral on the platform, this method will give you the most alluring lips ever.
Double Gloss: A fresh new way to layer your lips
While the concept of layering lip products isn’t exactly new, Double Gloss offers a fresh perspective.
Makeup enthusiasts are layering gloss over lipstick or using an occlusive like Aquaphor over a lip mask for a volumizing effect.
Occlusives are a type of skin care ingredient that create a physical barrier on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss.
The ultra-glossy wet look achieved with the Double Gloss finish is a unique twist on this existing technique.
Double Gloss: More than just a beauty trend
Not only does Double Gloss give you the illusion of fuller, more youthful looking lips without the need for layering or additional plumping products, it also brings skincare into your makeup routine.
Using lip oil with this technique can help keep your lips nourished all day long, eliminating the need to reapply lip balm as often.
This trend therefore offers both aesthetic and practical benefits.
Trending lip techniques on social media
A popular makeup trend on social media is the “lip combo,” which involves using lip liner and lip gloss together.
This technique creates the impression of defined, plump lips by outlining them with liner and then filling them in with a glossy finish.
Makeup lovers appreciate its simplicity and effectiveness in accentuating the volume and shape of the lips.
Other trends like “Movie Lips,” “Siren Lips” and “Cherub Lips” have captivated millions of viewers as makeup lovers delight in accentuating the shape of their lips.
