July 29, 2022
In the early 2000s, lip glosses were the most valuable currency in the makeup market. Just think about it: a gloss in your back pocket, middle school dances, an exorbitant amount of hair stuck to your pout from the slightest breeze. The glory days, right?
While those thick and tacky (albeit ridiculously shiny lip glosses) disappeared for a hot second, they have returned to the beauty scene in a major way. Gloppy and heavy formulas are gone, and instead, our makeup bags are newly stocked with hydrating, plumping and lightweight formulas that don’t sacrifice shine. To get back on board the lip gloss train (and pay tribute to some of our old time faves) we’ve rounded up the best of the best high-shine lip glosses, ahead.
