Quick Answer

Start with a clean, exfoliated lip base, then layer a hydrating lip oil or balm before applying your chosen Fenty Gloss Bomb for a high-shine, non-sticky finish.

Why a Lip Care Routine Matters Before Gloss

Gloss looks best on smooth, hydrated lips. Skipping prep can lead to uneven application or accentuated dry patches. A quick exfoliation and a hydrating base make the gloss wear longer and feel more comfortable.

Step-by-Step Lip Care Routine with Gloss Bomb

  1. Prep Your Lips: Gently exfoliate with a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush, then apply a thin layer of a hydrating lip oil or balm. Wait 30 seconds for it to absorb. Skipping this step can cause the gloss to settle into fine lines.
  2. Apply a Base Gloss for Hydration: Use the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Fuchsia Flex or the Gloss Bomb Ice Cooling Lip Luminizer in Cold Heartd. Apply one even layer to the center of your lips and blend outward. Don't over-apply—one layer is enough to get the high-shine effect without stickiness.
  3. Add Color Depth with a Gloss Stick: Twist up the Gloss Bomb Stix High Shine Gloss Stick in Blackr Berry and swipe it over the base gloss for a richer berry tint. Focus on the lip line for definition. You can skip this step if you prefer a sheer look, but the stick adds long-lasting color.
  4. Set with a Light Dusting of Translucent Powder: Optional: Lightly dust a translucent setting powder over a tissue placed on your lips to lock in the gloss for longer wear. Remove the tissue and reapply a tiny bit of gloss for shine. This trick helps the gloss survive meals and drinks without becoming sticky.
