Lip glosses are quick simple and gorgeous however, it can be messy and smeary. However, there are easy ways to get rid of these issues and still be able to enjoy your lip gloss.
First Exfoliate

Use a toothbrush that is wet and gently massage it across your lips in an upward motion. This should be enough to remove the dead skin , but not be too rough.
Apply Foundation Underneath

Use the lipstick that matches.
