Lip gloss is back, and it's better than ever. A whole new generation of glosses is here to deliver intense shine to your lips, whether you're looking for just a hint of colour or high-impact pigmentation.
Possibly one of the most versatile tools in any makeup bag, a good gloss can be used to transform any lip look - try wearing a clear gloss over lipstick for extra dimension and the illusion of fuller lips. Or, if you’re feeling more low-key, a slick of tinted gloss on bare lips is always a winning weekend look.
What are the best lip glosses?
- MAC Cosmetics Lipglass is a makeup artist staple and for good reason. These tinted lip glosses offer excellent wear time, and come in a wide range of colours. Best-selling shades include the rosy pink Candy Box, neutral Spice and the peachy Love Nectar.
- Clear lip gloss is a must-have, and Anastasia’s Crystal Gloss is one of our favourites. Formulated without any shimmer or glitter, it gives lips a reflective, glassy finish, and never feels sticky. Wear it alone or layer over other lip products for a full, plump look.
- For a cheap and cheerful gloss that won’t break the bank, we love Maybelline’s range of Lifter Glosses. With multiple shades to choose from there’s something for everyone, and the Hyaluronic Acid-infused formula helps lips feel fuller and smoother.
- For a fun touch, try a lip gloss infused with shimmer. One of the best sparkly lip glosses is Anastasia Beverly Hills Honey Diamond Gloss. Infused with shimmer, it creates a reflective, high-impact finish, and is non-sticky and comfortable to wear to boot.
