How do I make lip gloss look shiny without feeling sticky?

I love the glossy look, but most lip gloss feels heavy and my hair sticks to it. Is there a way to wear gloss comfortably?

I keep gloss mostly in the center and use a lip liner underneath. That keeps the edges cleaner and stops the gloss from spreading. Also, windy days are just not gloss days for me unless my hair is tied back.

Try a lip oil or oil-gloss hybrid. It will not last as long as a sticky gloss, but it feels much more comfortable. I would rather reapply than spend all day feeling like my lips are glued together.

Use much less than you think. I put one small dot in the center of my bottom lip and press my lips together. It gives shine without coating the whole mouth in sticky product. Full layers of gloss always feel messy to me.
