Lip glosses: 10 of the best
Lip gloss got a bad rep in the 00s due to its sticky formulas, which could leave mouths looking gummy and gooey. However, the new wave of offerings are light, nourishing and the best way to add a subtle shine to any occasion.
These versatile products have a range of benefits to enhance your overall look, and the new oil-based formulas can add lustre to your lips, giving them a fuller and more youthful appearance.
Think of gloss not just as an aesthetic add-on but as your low-maintenance best friend. It plays well layered over tinted balm and lipstick. New formulas contain hydrating ingredients, such as oils, shea butter and vitamins that keep lips soft and smooth, combatting dryness and chapping.
In a wide range of shades and finishes, this new generation allows you to experiment with a variety of different looks. With these glosses in your corner, your makeup routine just got a whole lot juicier.
