Learn the correct order to apply the Kylie Cosmetics High Gloss & Liner Duo for a defined, glossy lip that lasts. Step-by-step tips for a perfect pout.

Quick answer

Start with the Lip Liner to define and shape, then apply High Gloss for a non-sticky, multidimensional shine. This order locks in color and prevents feathering.

Why layering order matters

Applying gloss before liner can cause the pencil to drag and skip, making it harder to get a crisp edge. Liner first gives you a clean canvas and helps the gloss stay put without bleeding.

The High Gloss in the duo is designed to be comfortable and non-sticky, so it glides smoothly over liner without lifting or smudging the pencil.

Step-by-step layering guide

  1. Prep your lips: Exfoliate gently and apply a thin layer of balm. Wait 30 seconds for the balm to absorb, then blot off any excess. This prevents the liner from skipping. Skipping prep can make the liner apply unevenly and shorten wear time.
  2. Line and fill with the Lip Liner: Start at the cupid's bow and trace your natural lip line. Fill in the entire lip for a base that helps the gloss adhere and last longer. Use short, light strokes for a soft edge. Filling the lip is key—it prevents a visible ring when the gloss wears off.
  3. Apply High Gloss: Using the doe-foot applicator, swipe a thin, even layer of High Gloss over the lined lips. Start from the center and blend outward. Avoid overloading the applicator to prevent the gloss from bleeding. A thin layer gives shine without making the liner look messy.
  4. Blot and set (optional): Press lips gently on a tissue to remove excess gloss. For extra staying power, dust a translucent powder over the tissue before pressing—this sets the color without removing shine. Blotting reduces transfer and helps the duo last through meals.
