Do you prefer gloss alone or over lipstick? Are you all about sheer, glossy lips? Super opaque glossy lips? Need lipstick before you get your gloss on?

I wear it alone every day! I love lipgloss!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
lol ;) Do you have an everyday color or do you always switch it up?
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I love to wear it on lipstick,i so like COMPLETE.I wear it everyday,i love my glosses!

Me too, Zainy! I sooo rarely wear glosses alone.

I’ve been stuck in this lipstick then lipgloss phase for the last month, but all before that I was a pure lipgloss girl, no extras needed. I start my day with lipliner(Vino or Chestnut) nude lipstick, and Bare Necessity dazzleglass. After that, I’ll probably only reapply the dazzleglass or use my spring bean lustreglass.

I’m so glad you’ve been varying it up, Dee! It’s so fun to experiment :)

I usually use two different lipglosses to get my look…I want to try to wear lipgloss over lipstick but…
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
How come you don’t, Tammy?
I sometimes use lipstick AND two glosses, lol!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I like both. I also really love highly pigmented glosses. Mmmm… :D
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I have to have a pigmented gloss if I’m giong to wear it alone, usually! I don’t see the point otherwise ;)
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I’m good either way…depends on the look I want or how much makeup I feel like wearing that day :)
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
True! Good point you bring up. On occasion, I’ll slap on gloss to jazz up an otherwise bare face, but veryyy rarely.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I prefer lip gloss alone. I love wearing lipstick as well, but lately I’ve been hooked on my Dazzleglass in Money, Honey and Bare Necessity, and I won’t go anywhere without one or the other!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
So with you on Dazzleglass!! I wear at least one of my four everyday!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Haha! Dazzleglasses seem to have been a hit — hopefully MAC makes more and/or makes them perm!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
i perfer it alone just cause it is easier. now when it comes to a more polished look i will always wear it on top of lipstick.
mostly i just wear my lipstick matte
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
You know, this is one thing I almost never do – wear lipstick alone!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I used to prefer wearing them separately until Dazzle Glass came out. I love to experiment with gloss over color now!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
That’s awesome, DaniMae! What are some of the best combos you’ve come up with lately?
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I do both. When I’m affecting an overall look, it’s usually gloss over lipstick. If I’m not trying as hard, it’s just gloss.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I think this sums it up pretty well!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
My first time chiming in here…Love the site.
I was a gloss girl exclusively, but I love some of the new MAC lipsticks and am trying those. I prefer my gloss alone because I hate to contaminate it with lipstick…ya know?
How are you girls getting around this? I dont want lipstick in my dazzleglass. Know what I mean?
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
You can use a lipbrush somehow, if you can get it into the gloss tube. Maybe a really thin brush. Then you can always clean it.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Hey hun!
Usually just a lip brush OR you can buy disposable lipgloss wands/applicators :) Kind of like disposable mascara wands? Only for lipgloss!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I love to wear gloss alone, but I prefer that it is not too sheer, but has a hint of color to it.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Me too, Kathleena — it has to be pigmented if I’m gonna wear it alone.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
i did lipstick ONLY up until dec last year when i bought red romp and saw how lipglass can transform the lipstick and the overall look.
i’m now a lipglass/lustreglass whore. self-professed and not abashed to admit it!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
LOL, Natasha!! Red Romp was such a gorgeous color, wasn’t it?
What are some of your favorite combos?
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I’m a lipgloss girl all the way!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Do you prefer sheer or pigmented glosses, Lisa?
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I prefer lipstick so if I do wear gloss, it’s almost always over lipstick.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Ahh! I’ve never really worn lipstick alone – just a handful of times.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I wear gloss alone or over lipstick, but I never wear l/s alone, that wouldn´t be moisturizing enough for me.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
That’s where I stand, too, Nell! I feel so weird with lipstick alone. I might do a matte lipstick alone, but I usually opt for gloss.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Sometimes I wear it alone, sometimes over lipstick, it really depends on the colors and the occasion, to be honest!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Love it. You’re so versatile ;) No box for you!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I really don’t know! It has only been about 6 months since I got my first lipstick so I am still trying things out, but gloss on its own is so much easier :p
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
LOL. I find that gloss always leaves a ring, whereas lipstick fades better. But I rarely wear lipstick on its own, so it doesn’t matter, ha!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
IF I’m in a hurry I only wear lipgloss and also if I want a not so done look, but if I have the time and want a more defined look I will wear lipstick and just in the middle of my upper and lower lips a dab of gloss to make them look fuller.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I definitely agree that lipstick can make a look a lot more defined!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
i always wear a balm before anything else… but just gloss with balm is fine as well. i only have one lipstick… this nude brown. sometimes i layer that with gloss aswell
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I do balm everyday, too :D
I can’t believe you only have one lipstick! I am so impressed!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I admit that I wear it all. I am a big gloss wearer though. Plushglass, Lusterglass, Lipglass, and of course now Dazzleglass. I love them all.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Haha :) A non-discriminating gloss fan!
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Oh yeah!!! I just think they have an uph that lipstick doesn’t have.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Honestly, before I started getting on beauty blogs recently, I never wore them together. They seemed like too much, and I don’t want to feel like I have a layer of frosting on my lips!
I always heard from ladies at beauty counters that you could/should wear gloss over lipstick, and I figured it was just to sell me more product.
But from the blogs I’ve seen, especially yours Christine, wearing a gloss (preferably one that doesn’t exactly match the lipstick shade below) can make lips look gorgeous! Some of the combos you come up with are to die for! And you can get colors you always wanted but places never sold!
Now I’m a total fan! And I try to try new combos all the time. I notice that Mac often makes their lipglosses and lipsticks match in new releases, but I like is MUCH better when they aren’t meant to match! It much more dimensional!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I’m so glad that you gave it a try! I love playing with combos and seeing how a gloss will alter the lipstick, lol!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
It depends on the shade. Some glosses are too sheer for my liking, so I mix it with lipstick. Mixing lipstick with gloss is fun!
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I agree, it’s wayyyy fun! I am with you on the sheer gloss front, too.
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
normally i wear gloss over lipstick (lustre or dazzleglasses and sheerer lipglasses) but i wear my prrr lipglass alone or with a lipliner since its more pigmented
i dont really wear lipstick alone (dry lips)
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
My lips get dry, too, so I hate lipstick alone!
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
I usually just wear lip gloss alone.
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Any favorites to wear alone, Lydia?
