4 Summer Eyeshadow Tutorials That Really Bring the Heat

In the early 2000s, the beauty scene was all about lip gloss. Popstars graced the covers of teen magazines with ultra-glossy lips, and every teenage girl seemed to have a purse with multiple Juicy Tubes floating around inside. For many young people, lip gloss was their first foray into beauty, creating a permanent nostalgia for shiny lips. That’s why, like us, you might be excited that lip gloss is having a moment again. Open up TikTok, and you’ll see lips coated in gloss in nearly every video. If you’re ready to re-embrace glossy lip looks, there are lots of new lip glosses for you to try now. And you’ll be pleased to know, lip gloss formulas are better than ever. Not only are they super shiny, but there are options with all sorts of bonus benefits, from hydrating to plumping. (Of course, there are plenty of classics that are still great, too.) Below, we’ve rounded up 18 glosses we love, including all the best lip glosses from L’Oréal’s portfolio of products. Maybelline New York Lifter Plump For a plumping lip gloss that really packs a punch, we recommend the Maybelline New York Lifter Plump. This gloss, which is formulated with Maxi-Lip™ and chili pepper, delivers an intense heat, while plumping your lips and helping smooth the appearance of lip lines. It also comes in eight easy-to-wear, buildable shades, giving you plenty of options for customizing your lip look. Giorgio Armani Beauty Prisma Glass Lip Gloss This gloss is perfect for participating in the glass lip trend (an offshoot of the ever-popular glass skin trend). It has an oil-to-gloss formula packed with squalane that offers a prismatic finish. There are seven sheer, high-shine shades to choose from, each of which lets your natural lip color show through. The gloss also helps lock in long-lasting hydration and doesn’t feel sticky on your lips. NYX Professional Duck Plump High Pigment Plumping Lip Gloss If you’re into ultra-pouty lips, try the NYX Professional Makeup Duck Plump High Pigment Plumping Lip Gloss, which is formulated with spicy ginger. The gloss plumps your lips instantly upon application and over time, which is why we count it as one of the best lip-plumping glosses in the L’Oréal portfolio. You can pick from 18 high-impact shades (plus a clear gloss) to match your mood. L’Oréal Paris Lip Balm-in-Gloss with Pomegranate Extract On days when you have little time to devote to your makeup, a 2-in-1 product like this balm-in-gloss can help you shave a few seconds off your routine (we know every moment counts). The formula with hyaluronic acid wraps lips in a silky, balm-like texture, offering instant moisture and conditioning. It also delivers natural-looking color with a glossy, non-sticky finish. Lancôme Paris Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss This formula is the ultimate Y2K throwback, and it’s still a favorite. We love it for the ultra-high shine finish and hours of intense hydration it provides—just like we did back then. Maybelline New York Lifter Gloss With Hyaluronic Acid For dry lips, this Maybelline gloss is a great option. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid and delivers lasting hydration. Plus, it drenches your lips in shine for a lifted look, all the while visibly smoothing your lips. NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Like lip glosses, lip oils are really having a moment right now. The NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip is the best of both worlds. This oil-gloss hybrid contains raspberry oil, cloudberry oil, and vegan squalane and provides up to 12 hours of hydration without a sticky feel. You can wear it alone for a barely-there wash of color, or pair it with lip liner or lipstick for a more vivid look. Editor’s tip: If you want a more pigmented, glossy look without using multiple products, you can reach for the NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Slick Click. It also moisturizes your lips and provides a shiny finish, but it has intense color payoff. L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Plump Lip Gloss With Hyaluronic Acid For instantly fuller, plumper lips, the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Plump Lip Gloss With Hyaluronic Acid is a must-have. The lightweight formula with hyaluronic acid lasts throughout the day, helping to hydrate and visibly plump your lips. This gloss also has a unique soft, flexible applicator that’s great for lip contouring and sculpting. Giorgio Armani Beauty Ecstasy Mirror Lip Gloss The Giorgio Armani Beauty Ecstasy Mirror Lip Gloss is a makeup stash essential for anyone into glosses with mirror-like shine and high-impact color. The comfortable, moisturizing formula hydrates lips for up to 10 hours and leaves a long-lasting lip stain. NYX Professional This Is Milky Gloss Milkshakes A single swipe of this gloss delivers creamy, ultra-glassy shine. The hydrating formula comes in an array of delicious shades and flavors, so you can have your pick. And if that isn’t sweet enough, it’s also infused with a decadent milkshake fragrance. YSL Beauty Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick The YSL Beauty Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick is just the treat your lips need. It glides on, providing a juicy, high-gloss finish, and the formula with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and mango oils melts into your lips. Unlike most glosses, it comes in a stick form, which is quick and convenient for on-the-go touch-ups. NYX Professional Shine Loud High Shine Lip Color This gloss has everything you need for a complete lip look. The dual-ended product features a high-shine gloss on one end and a pigment-packed base coat on the other. Used together, the result is a pop of loud color with a long-lasting, glossy finish. L’Oréal Paris Infallible 8-Hour Pro Lip Gloss When we think of the best drugstore glosses, this L'Oréal Paris classic is one that instantly comes to mind. It offers long-lasting color and shine for up to eight hours. What’s more, it has a hydrating formula that leaves lips feeling soft and moisturized. NYX Professional Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss This popular lip gloss is a fan fave for a reason—it has a non-sticky, super-shiny formula that can be worn anywhere, anytime. Swipe on one of the tinted shades (which have sheer-to-medium coverage) for a dose of pretty color, or select the clear gloss for a coat of plain old shine. IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Serum Lip Gloss Inspired by dermatologist lip treatments, this skincare-makeup hybrid combines lip gloss and lip serum into one. The formula with hyaluronic acid, ceramide, vitamin E, and peptide instantly hydrates lips—and it doesn’t stop there. The hydration lasts for up to eight hours, while the gloss also makes lips look smoother. Saie GlossyBounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil We love that this gloss has a huge doe-foot applicator, so you can quickly coat your lips in shine. As for the gloss itself, it’s infused with moisturizing oils like jojoba and sunflower seed. It envelops, nourishes, and deeply hydrates, leaving your lips with a high-shine finish that doesn’t feel tacky. Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly With the Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly, you can experience the comfort of a balm and the shine of a gloss. This TikTok-favorite, which is enriched with ingredients like apricot kernel oil and raspberry seed oil, moisturizes, soothes, and protects lips. You can choose from shades that are either glossy (which add a vivid yet sheer wash of color) or milky (which create a semi-sheer creamy look). Or, if you just want to drench your lips in shine, there’s a clear version, too! Glossier Lip Gloss The Glossier Lip Gloss has become something of a classic in a relatively short time. It’s simple but does everything it needs to very effectively. There are just three shades (clear, holographic, and red), each of which offers shine without stickiness. The vegan formula is infused with vitamin E and jojoba oil and keeps lips moisturized and soft. Next Up: How To Make Your Lipstick Last All Day
