The Glossy Files Dial up the shine

When it comes to wet-look locks, “smoother textures or soft wavy curls generally work best,” advises Hong Kong hairstylist Ross Kwan. To achieve a style with a more pliable finish, Kwan suggests, “either an oil base serum or a light holding gel, run it through the hair while it wet, before letting it air dry.” If your hair is curlier in texture? “Straighten your locks first, and then use either a wax or a hard holding gel to keep the hair in place and avoid it frizzing up.”

When it comes to nailing the gloss eyelid trend, makeup artist Jenny Shih suggests applying gloss just to the centre of your eyelid, “then blending towards the edges, layer by layer.” Shih warns caution when it comes to applying too much, as it can make the gloss slide down your lids. If you don’t have eye gloss? “A clear lip balm, such as Kiehl’s Lip Balm, a lip gloss, or even Vaseline, will achieve a similar effect,” offers Shih.

“The secret to perfecting the glossy dark lip is the base,” reveals makeup artist Regina Gao. “I like to layer a couple of dark lip colours in similar shades, and then shape the lip line carefully. It definitely takes time and requires some skills; a lip brush is vital! Lastly, go bold with the gloss! Bobbi Brown and M.A.C. have amazing glassy lip glosses – they are completely clear with a little thickness, which is exactly what you want. Load it up!”
