There’s a time and a place for matte lips, but lip gloss is my one true makeup love. Not only was it the first beauty product I ever used (shoutout to the squeezy-tube applicators of my youth), it’s still one of the most reached-for products in my makeup bag. I’ve tested tos of formulas, from high-shine pink and nude lip glosses to clear lip glosses that give any lip color underneath a dazzling shine. Below, I’ve rounded up some of the shiniest, juiciest lip glosses that you can try too — all from Ulta Beauty.

For Smooth, Shiny Lips

Maybelline New York Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid

Plump up your lips and add luscious shine with this hyaluronic acid-infused formula. It comes in 20 colors that deliver soft, smooth, and seriously shiny lips. My favorite shade is Moon, a pinky-nude lip gloss with a hint of reflective glitter.

For a Fruity Scent

NYX Professional Makeup This is Juice Gloss

If you’re looking for a lip gloss that’s equal parts shiny and hydrating, you’ll love this electrolyte-infused pick from NYX Professional Makeup. It nourishes your lips with oils like grapeseed, jojoba and avocado and comes in eight sheer, high-shine shades with fun, fruity scents.

For Extra Moisture

L'Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Lip Balm-in-Gloss

Treat your lips to the comfort of a balm and the sheen of a lip gloss with this moisturizing formula. It contains vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, argan oil and pomegranate extract for extra soft lips and is packed with pigment.

A Nostalgic Favorite

Lancôme Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss

This Y2K-favorite lip gloss is back with amped-up shine and moisture. Play with three different finishes depending on your mood: sparkle, creamy and jelly.

For Lip Plumping Action

Pixi LipLift Max

This lip gloss is refreshingly minty and instantly makes your lips appear fuller and softer, thanks to a combination of peptides, jojoba oil and chamomile extract. The neutral shades are perfect for everyday wear.

For a Pigmented Lip Gloss Look

Lime Crime Wet Cherry Lip Gloss

If statement lips are your signature, you’ll fall in love with this boldly pigmented lip gloss. The vegan formula gives your lips a lacquer-like shine and comes in cool colors like electric pink, classic red and vampy berry.
