Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip GlossCredit: Sephora Pros
Cons There is no lip gloss more synonymous with the 2000s than Juicy Tubes. This new iteration keeps your lips hydrated and glossy for four hours (but reapplying is half the fun). Customer Review: "These remind me so much of my childhood! These were soooo popular circa 2004 to 2005. Even the smell reminds me of childhood! Very fruity and fun be simple! I’m so glad they still make these glosses! Taste great, very simple with color, hydrating and smells amazing!" —Maxedd Pros
Cons Somewhere between a gloss and a balm is this sheer tint, which coddles lips with moisture and the prettiest wash of color. Customer Review: "Obsessed with this lip oil. I got the cherry colour and it’s the cutest shade (I'm a more tan/olive colour). It’s not sticky at all and makes my lips feel super moisturized." —Elianemaalouli MAC Cosmetics Clear LipglassMAC Cosmetics Clear LipglassCons
A favorite of makeup artists everywhere, there is no clear gloss better than MAC's Lipglass. It was designed to wear alone or over your favorite lipstick, so it's not in the business of slipping and sliding around. Customer Review: "Where have you been all my life? I bought the mini just to try it out because I have so many other lip gloss that I just don't like. I see many others complaining about the stickiness, but I personally LOVE that about this lip gloss. I can feel it's on. I hate most other lip gloss because they are so runny and won't stay on, and they ruin your lip stick colors. I love this lip gloss, I wear it over the Revlon colorstay lip stick. I will continue to buy this product." —Kay Advertisement - Continue Reading Below Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip LuminizerFenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip LuminizerCredit: Fenty Beauty Cons Comfortable, long-wearing, hydrating, plumping—what more could you want from a lip gloss? We'd expect nothing less from Rihanna. Customer Review: "Fenty glow is one of the best glosses of all time. It smells great and is very hydrating. The color is your lips but better." —Stydia15 Maybelline New York Lifter Gloss High Shine Lip GlossMaybelline New York Lifter Gloss High Shine Lip GlossNow 27% Off Credit: Amazon Pros
Cons This drugstore gloss gently plumps and hydrates lips thanks to the hyaluronic acid in the formula. Plus, we love all the shade options. Customer Review: "I love this lip gloss. I gave this one as a present but I have another one that I just love, it’s so pretty and it shines on the lips." —Meg Tower 28 ShineOn Jelly Lip GlossTower 28 ShineOn Jelly Lip GlossPros
Cons If you're looking for all the shine without the stick, this is the gloss for you. Every shade is gorgeous, and we love the hydrating plant oils that are safe for sensitive skin. Customer Review: "The first gloss that I reach for! Shiny, hydrating, non-sticky, and long lasting. I lost my first one and immediately replaced it because I couldn’t live without it. The price is also extremely affordable." —Julia G.

Customer Review: "The oil in this lipgloss helps to not create that guck that most lipglosses create after 30 minutes on your lips. I love the texture and feel, it looks stunning and natural and you can really pack it on. This is a must-have product for me." —Luxury Doll Haus Labs by Lady Gaga PhD Hybrid Lip OilHaus Labs by Lady Gaga PhD Hybrid Lip OilCredit: Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Pros
Cons Lady Gaga's Haus Labs is famous for its foundation and concealer, but don't sleep on this lip oil. It delivers gloss-like shine and balm-like softening, leaving your lips looking instantly perkier. Customer Review: "Probably the best product you could ever own for your lips. I’ve never used a lip oil this buttery and smooth ever. It keeps my lips hydrated for hours with just one application. I leaned towards it over others because it has no scent and it’s just an overall amazing product to keep your lips extremely hydrated. Plus it just looks amazing on the lips, better than any gloss I own too." —Armando J. Best for Plumping Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip PlumperBest for Plumping Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip PlumperPros
All lip glosses will make lips look a little fuller, but this one goes the extra mile with tingle-inducing plumping ingredients. Customer Review: "I was very satisfied with this plumper! It showed immediate results, did not burn, was not super-sticky, and my lips stayed full all day with just one application. I have been disappointed time and time again, so this product was such a shock! It actually does what it claims!" —AmyMarieK Advertisement - Continue Reading Below Sheer Color Clarins Lip Comfort OilSheer Color Clarins Lip Comfort OilPros
Cons We're obsessed with the brightening shade Strawberry—it works on all skin tones and is the easiest way to add a pop of color to your everyday makeup look. Customer Review: "Absolutely obsessed. I had to leave a review - this is officially my favorite lip product I have ever owned. The applicator cushion is heavenly, the oil feels amazing on (zero stickiness), is hydrating and actually has color pay off. Even after eating and having the glossy shine eventually wear off, my lips were still left with a natural looking pigment. I have the color Pitaya but will undoubtedly be ordering other colors." —Ishka13 Drugstore Deal NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Butter GlossDrugstore Deal NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Butter GlossPros
Cons At less than $5 and with so many shades to choose from, this is the gloss to try if you're just now exploring the world of shiny lips. Customer Review: "I love these glosses over any lip color, or by themselves. They look great with liners as well. Would highly recommend!" —Candace P. Not Sticky Chantecaille Brilliant Lip GlossNot Sticky Chantecaille Brilliant Lip GlossCredit: Chantechaille Pros
You'll find yourself reapplying this gorgeous gloss not because you have to (it lasts for several hours) but because it just feels so good on your lips. Customer Review: "I have repurchased this over and over. It’s gotta be one of my favorite glosses aside from the Fenty one. I own the shade Charm, which I got once I found that this was the shade Angelina Jolie wore on the movie Salt. Makes your lips look soo juicy and I love that it’s NOT sticky as other glosses that I have purchase, which is huge for me, because there’s nothing more annoying than having a lipgloss with a feeling that you can barely open your mouth. I like to wear this with a lip pencil close to my skin tone. Some people don’t like that you have to reapply, but that is not an issue for me since the more long-wearing it is the more sticky the gloss will be as well. I will forever keep repurchasing this gloss." —Yulz Advertisement - Continue Reading Below bareMinerals Mineralist Lip Gloss-BalmbareMinerals Mineralist Lip Gloss-BalmCredit: Ulta Pros
Cons
A hydrating balm that also gives your lips sheer coverage and a glossy sheen, this is a must-have for those who struggling with perpetually chapped lips. It's made with sea buckthorn and plum oil for nourishment and to protect lips from environmental aggressors, and it comes in the prettiest neutral and pink shades. Customer Review: "This lip gloss balm is seriously close to perfection. I received mine as a sample in shade "sincerity" & even the product amount in the sample will last me a while & enough to where I know I'll be purchasing the full size. Every product I've come across from bareminerals has really blown me away. The smell of this lip balm is fantastic, a gourmand-fruit smell. Doesn't taste awful, the ingredients aren't harmful & the pigmentation is just right (your lips but better). It is basically a gloss/balm hybrid as the name says, lightweight & perfect for everyday use." — Diamond Milk Makeup Odyssey Lip Oil GlossMilk Makeup Odyssey Lip Oil GlossCredit: Milk Makeup Cons
This non-sticky formula instantly elevates your lip gloss game. It comes in stunning pink, peach, and pink semi-sheer shades and the formula is made with jojoba oil, goji berry extract, and vitamins to smooth and treat dryness. As an added bonus, you can wear this alone or layer it on top of your favorite lip product to add some shine. Customer Review: "This is my perfect go-to when I want a touch of color and shine. Light and moisturizing. I use it every day. Love it!" — Adele Pat McGrath Labs Lust: Lip GlossPat McGrath Labs Lust: Lip GlossCredit: Sephora Pros
