Today’s best lip glosses are a far cry from the sticky, hair-catching formulas you might remember. From barely-there washes of colour to mirror-like shine, there’s no shortage of options, whether you want a sheer, nourishing finish that rivals your favourite lip balm or something more pigmented to wear in place of a lipstick and lip stain.
Makeup artist Anna Payne puts their appeal down to the “fresh and youthful” finish they create, explaining that the best lip gloss can “add another dimension to your makeup and can make your lips look bigger, juicier and healthier.”
