Lip gloss has become one of the most in-demand beauty products of the year. Social media is full of swatches, “juicy lips” videos, and recommendations for the most glossy, smoothing glosses. But what is it that makes lip gloss so popular – and which gloss is right for you?
From classic shine to modern formula
Lip gloss has been around for a long time, but today's versions are a far cry from the sticky glosses of the 2000s. They're now lighter, more hydrating, and provide a shine that looks expensive, soft, and smooth. That's why makeup pros and regular users alike are turning to gloss again.
The difference from other lip products
Lipstick: Provides pigment, but can feel dry.
Lip stain: Long-lasting, but lacks shine.
Lip balm: Nice, but weak color.
Lip gloss: Provides shine, softness and instantly fuller lips.
Gloss has become the product that lifts the lips without feeling heavy.
