Walgreens Nyx Butter Gloss (2024)

FAQs

How do you make NYX butter gloss last longer? ›

Is the NYX Butter Gloss long-lasting? No, the Butter Gloss is not long-lasting. The Butter Gloss lasts around 2-3 hours before needing to be reapplied.

Lip gloss doesn't contain the ingredients that lipstick does that help it grip your lips. As such, it is much easier for lipgloss to get wiped off, brushed away, or licked from your lips. Just a simple conversation can cause the gloss to disappear and slide right off your lips.

“Dry or chapped lips interfere with longevity,” says Medhin. The smoother your canvas, the longer the gloss lasts. She suggests exfoliating gently (that can be as simple as buffing flaky spots with a warm, wet washcloth), then applying a hydrating balm or moisturizer and letting it sink in.

Most lip products contain wax that can dry out your lips overnight, leading to chapping and flaking. This can make your lips uncomfortable and less receptive to lip color application. For healthier lips, remove lipstick before bed and consider applying a nourishing lip balm.

Liquid lipsticks and glosses might become exceptionally sticky; almost unusable. This is a sign that the formula is no longer intact and should not be used on human skin. There is also the possibility of an unpleasant smell, or for irritation to occur when the product is used on the face.

After testing many options, we found that the Lancôme Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss has the best-staying power. While this gloss doesn't really have a sticky texture, its creamy formula feels a little tacky, which helps it keep its long-lasting shine and keeps it in place even after eating.

It's everything a lip gloss should be: Comfortable, hydrating, and shiny. As the name suggests, it applies as smooth as butter, and I find my lips are softer than they started after the gloss wears off. It has a slight vanilla fragrance that I enjoy and don't find to be sickly-sweet.

The universally flattering gloss is now in 8 new shimmery sheer-to-medium coverage shades with glossy shine and buttery color to help you bring on the bling.

How do you apply lip gloss like a pro? ›

Start by applying lip gloss to the center of your bottom lip. Then press your lips together to distribute the product evenly. Gently blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess gloss from your lips. Pro tip: Use your finger to dab a bit of gloss onto your cupid's bow for a touch of highlight.

Applying a lip primer

Using a lip primer can significantly improve the longevity of your lip gloss. A lip primer creates a smooth canvas for the gloss, helps it adhere better to the lips, and prevents feathering or bleeding.

Don't: Wash every day! Each hair type and shampoo routine is different, so totally ignore me if daily washing is your vibe! However, the color in hair gloss fades over several weeks — depending on your frequency of shampooing — so maybe consider washing every other day, instead.

Set Your Lip Gloss with Powder

Take a small amount of translucent powder on a fluffy brush. Lightly dust the powder over your lips. This will help set the lip gloss. It will also increase it's staying power and prevent it from smudging or transferring onto other surfaces.

Wear a cream formula before the liquid one

The best way to avoid this issue is to coat your lips in a cream lipstick formula and then apply your liquid lipstick over it. The cream lipstick will form a protective layer and avoid the liquid formula from zapping away the moisture.
