When it comes to lip gloss, a lot of us relate to this cosmetic powerhouse very differently. Some rewind to adolescent beach dates when hair would constantly get stuck to the lips, to creating a stressful dent on that polaroid perfect date. For others, it signifies a nostalgic scent of simpler times when they hoarded these precious tubes of colorful, liquid lacquer instead of candies and Barbies (it was a good childhood).
However, minor inconveniences and preferences aside, when you want something a tad more fun on your lips than just lip stains and don’t want to settle for your everyday lipsticks, glosses are just what you need. After much evaluation it can be said with confidence that these glosses pop, deliver and commit. Plus, they look so good, you can't really blame your hair for sticking to them.
Here’s Our Collection Of Top Lip Glosses:
1. I RED THAT
For those who longed to own the cult lip shade Uncensored by Fenty Beauty (one of Rihanna’s bestsellers) but your bank balance didn’t support it, today is your lucky day. The L.A. Colors Pout Super Shine Lip Glossin the shade Juicy is it’s high-shine, low-priced counterpart. This phenomenal color is all you need to give a 180 turn to a possibly bad day, take it from us. Plus, it seriously delivers on hydration so you can skip your lip balm for this one.
2. MORE CANDY
What instantly drew us to the Nykaa Gloss it Up! High Shine Lip Gloss was the gorgeous colors. Some of us back here at the office are convinced that the shade Gal Pal from this range was magically flung from a cotton candy dream. Seriously, it’s the flirtiest hint of Pink that’s sheer yet noticeable. Enriched with a new light-magnifying technology, this long lasting lip gloss gives you an impressive color payoff with a shine that can last you an entire day (well, unless you decided to order a Subway sandwich for lunch).
3. Sweet Cherry
If you want to make a statement, there's nothing better than a Cherry Hued gloss to make 'em hands turn. Our pick: Kiko Milano's Unlimited Double Touch - 107 Cherry Red that is anything but boring. The color adheres well with a hold of upto eight hours, without drying up your lips. Also comes with a lip gloss for a bright, shiny finish; not to forget it's smudge-proof and is formulated without Parabens. Plus, this one will last through endless rounds of Martini, we promise. Add to cart already!
4. I’LL TAKE VANILLA
The Lakme Lip Gloss in the shade Vanilla is anything but Vanilla. You can do so much with this hue. It looks great on its own or as a topper for your favorite lipstick. Designed for the color-averse folks, this beautiful beige gloss is a godsent if you ever run out of your makeup stash. You can swipe it on your lids, cheeks, collarbones and even your shin (it’s a thing now). This is one of the best lip glosses you’ll ever find. For those who decide to go bolder overnight, shades like Bubblegum and Strawberry are equally impressive.

This groundbreaking formula enriched with Lotus Essential Oil and a natural moisturizer is built to plump up your lips for a beautiful 3D glow. We're having trouble finding the downside.
7. SUCH A PEACH
Whilst curating this intense gloss list, we weren’t obviously going to skip one of the fastest selling glosses in the market. Nah-ah. For those who live under a massive rock, the NYX Professional Makeup Butter Glossis a mandatory essential in every girl’s cabinet. The shade Peach Cobbler being a clear standout this year, this lightweight, creamy range has plenty to play with. Here’s an interesting point. The brand claims that this butter gloss line ‘tastes as sweet as a sugar cookie’. Okay, wow. Next time you crave that cookie, you know what to do.
