Who remembers the Lancome Juicy Tubes obsession? Lip gloss was every woman’s way to feel glamorous no matter what age she was. The best part of it was you didn’t even need a mirror to reapply. Lips felt soft and looked shiny and full. Enter matte lipsticks: thanks to Kylie Jenner, all of a sudden it was all about matte lips. When a beauty executive told me glosses are out and sales for lipgloss had dropped, I was shocked. We were all so used to putting on a lipstick and not worrying too much about how it looked because we were going to top it off with our favorite gloss shade, which seemed to always look perfect. The truth is matte lipstick is a lot of work. I’ve tried every scrub and lip balm and my lips still don’t look good enough to be wearing matte lipsticks all day. I also find it to be aging. What’s more youthful than a shiny lip? Well, we have great news, the masses have spoken and lip gloss is back! Like everything in the beauty industry it’s new and improved: meaning- you don’t have to worry about rolling down the window and having a bug getting stuck on your lips (true story). Here are a few favorites and a few new ones you will love:
NARS Lip Gloss in Easy Lover is a sheer pink that’s perfect for everyday and has anti aging ingredients.
MARC JACOBS Beauty Enamored Hi-Shine Gloss Lip Lacquer Lipgloss is an award winning formula that not only looks super shiny but it has a fresh mint scent. The shade Pretty Thing is pinkish nude that looks great for a “no makeup” makeup look.
