L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible 8 Hour Hydrating Lip Gloss
This cult-fave lip gloss is thick, shiny, and comes in 25 bold shades. Just remember that a little goes a long way with this one — a single swipe will make it look like you’re wearing both a lipstick and a gloss.

NYX Professional Makeup Shine Loud High Pigment Lip Shine
These drugstore lip shines are dual-ended, featuring a liquid lipstick on one side and a gloss on the other. When combined, the lippie gives off a saturated, highly-reflective finish in myriad shades — from bright reds and bold browns to a purple-blue.

For a luxe-looking lip, try this pigmented formula from YSL Beauty. The formula has a longwearing stain that stays on your lips for hours, plus a glossy component that leaves them looking oh-so-reflective.

The Wet Cherry glosses bring on all the glitz and glam because they’re super shiny and have a ton of saturation. They come in a range of red, purple, burgundy and orange hues that pack a major punch.
