Will it stay if I add gloss?

It will stay if you add gloss - after you let it "set" on your lips. If you add the gloss right away, when the stain is still liquid on your lips, it will all come right off. But if you put on the stain, leave it for a bit (five minutes? I don't know, I do the stain at the beginning of my makeup routine and the gloss at the end) then the gloss won't take off the stain. Er, well, at least not the simple, bee'swax and vitamin E type glosses I use for shine.

I don't think it will stay at all. It only last for a very short time and gloss would make it worse.

Yes, the color of the lip stain will show through the lip gloss if you add a light colored gloss. The lip stain will stay put even if the gloss fall off. :) I usually add some lip balm on top for summer for a fresh, natural look.

I tried it with a sealer a few times, but this product wore off very quickly. I gave it a good try or two.

Yes, and it is one of the recommendations for the liquid look. Of course the only time I see the stain wear of quickly is with and oily meal.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

mine stayed tacky for a few days, needs hot sun to bake it for a while. It will harden eventually, and look great. I used it on a home made picnic table, applied 3 coats. this stuff is amazing.

Yeah but you won't be able to remove it with goof off if you put clear coat over it. But if you want it to stay then go ahead

I just got the regular gloss and it works perfect for my charms. I glaze them 3 times and they come out extra glossy, protected and shiny. They look professional. It's very watery so you don't need that much for one charm.

If you spray on wet you'll get high gloss. Holding the can farther away you'll get a texture and it will matte some. If your peal base is smooth you should be able to get a very nice high gloss coat. Do a test to see how far away you need to hold the can. Too much though and it will run.

It will be glossy and you will not look like magnesium coated. But I think it is worth the protection that it provides. It does get a little less glossy over time.

It's not much of a gloss but there is a little. I had to really inspect it to see if there was that is how little is on there. I kept mine white that's why I didn't know if there was or not until now.

If you want anything to properly adhere you're going to want to scuff, prime, sand, and topcoat. It's a gloss finish paint will eventually flake off with rock chips or carwashes.

M/S paints are exceptionally good quality paints. Some of them are a bit thick, the high-gloss paints, more so than others. Paints also get thicker as they age. I don't know what the shelf life is on these paints, but I have found that they do tend to thicken to almost a "gel like" substance the older they get. Adding water is okay and does not effect the outcome of your project - as long as it's only a small amount of water. Too much water will make the paints lose some of the gloss effect and will not cover as thoroughly. If the paint is too gel like or too thick already, I would advise buying a new bottle (or set) to insure the best outcome for your project. The paint should Not be 'gel like' brand new. It should be thick but easily useable. A word of caution: Hobby and Craft stores, as well as Paint stores, often put their paints On Sale as they enter the end of their factory recommended shelf life. The paints are still good, but best used right away. Paints are also put On Sale as new colors hit the market and old ones fall out of favor, so not all paint 'on sale' has necessarily reached it 'sell by' date! I hope this info is helpful!

If I was going with just one and was unsure which I would like more I would pick gloss. You can apply gloss and leave it be for a high gloss or you can always do a light sanding with a light grit sand paper or an all purpose scotch-brite hand pad/scrub pad and then use a polish to bring back some shine. So you can control the degree of shine some what with the gloss. Satin is kind of a one trick pony. As far as which looks better, that depends on the individual and the look they are going for. I personally like a gloss finish better than satin in most applications.

The more coats you apply the shinier it gets. It is not a "high" gloss but is shiny. I used this on my bathroom cabinets and only applied 2 coats however I applied 3 coats to my kitchen cabinets and there is a little more gloss to those. I wanted to protect them from the more wear and tear they will receive.

no, it stays pretty sticky. so unless you cover the adhesive well and entirely, you'll be left with a sticky surface. hope this helps.

Yes, It will give it a nice looking high gloss look. It is a thin film product, so don't overapply it. Better to do 2 thin coats. Make sure any dirt or loose or chipped paint is first removed or touched up.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

I may not know exactly what you are talking about, but I've used them for years and have never noticed any major gloss issues. HTH!

If you choose a shade lighter than your natural color, it won't change the color. I don't think it thickens (does any dye?) but it adds a nice gloss. I love it!
