Eyelids
Gloss adds a touch of shimmer to your eyelids, and makes eyes look bigger and wider set. It's great for application during the day, or anytime when you want your eyes to look great without wearing any makeup. Apply a clear gloss or gloss with a touch of pink to your eyelids, and see how your eyes seem to open up. Similarly, if you dislike applying heavy eye makeup during the day but feel that you may look all washed out and drained, gloss is a great alternative. After applying a little gloss to the eyelids, you can follow up by drawing a thin line with black pencil, on your upper lid, very close to the lashes. You could substitute the gloss with clear Vaseline if you prefer, but it will not shine like gloss does! In addition, if you apply mascara after applying Vaseline, the mascara is likely to run. Gloss, fortunately, does not make mascara run. If you are wearing eyeshadow, you could add gloss over your shadow for more shine.Lashes
Apply a touch of gloss or clear mascara to your eyelashes as well to make them stand out without looking overbearing.
Eyebrows
You could also try applying a little gloss on your eyebrows. Never thought of that, did youNULL But then skip the gloss on your eyelids. Make sure you just apply a touch of gloss. Don't layer it on like you would on your lips.
Arch
You could also skip the eyelids, lashes and eyebrows, and just apply a touch of gloss on the area below your eyebrows, to the angle of arch, and blend it outwards.Cheekbones
Bet you never thought of applying a touch of gloss on your cheekbones! While we do everything for our cheekbones to stand out, we fall short of glossing them over. Make sure you apply the same colour over your cheekbones as the one on your eyes. Too many glossy shades looks like too much is happening, and the effect of subtlety you are trying to achieve, is lost.Cheeks
To look like you're glowing with health and happiness, apply a touch of gloss on your cheeks. A great trick would be to apply gloss on those areas light first hits the face. So apply it to the tip of your nose (only if you have a small nose though. If your nose is large, you want to draw attention away from it, and not towards it!) Apply it on your cheeks and on your brow bones as well. Be careful not to overdo it, as you don't want your entire face to be glossed over! Just a few areas, very subtly. The only areas you can apply gloss liberally to are your eyelids and lips. Otherwise, apply a very little, and pat it with your fingers. The transparent shine of gloss accentuates features naturally, without adding any colour. The effect is light, ethereal and completely make-up free. And unlike when you apply colour, no contouring is necessary. Just layer it on, and leave it. The subtle but glassy sheen left by gloss is simply perfect for daytime wear.

Comments: Gloss on the lips is alright, but applying gloss to the cheekbones and especially the nose will lead to the skin looking unaturally shiny and oily. Perhaps some people will be able to carry this off, but for the rest of us, it is best avoided.

Comments: This is a good article, applying gloss on the apple of the cheek before applying blush is a good way to achieve a healthy glow. The gloss also helps the blush stay on longer. Gloss before eyeshadow is also a great way to make it last longer. I suggest Revlon Skin lights illuminating eyes and cheeks.
