Lip gloss is divisive. It isn’t as popular as lipstick and still can’t quite shake its association with velour Juicy Couture tracksuits and messy middle school first kisses (who didn’t keep a fresh tube of Lip Smacker lip gloss in their back pocket, just in case?). But it’s 2019 now, and we’re here to report lip gloss is actually cool again.
Thank Rihanna, who makes everything look good (her Gloss Bomb is one of her best-selling Fenty products), or Glossier, which popularized, well, anything glossy. The latest iterations offer shine, color, and comfort across the board, and those sticky, hair-catching problems you remember from the nineties and early aughts are firmly in the past.
Need proof? We asked our editors to test dozens of options and report back on the all-time best lip glosses. Here are the ones that won glowing reviews across the board.
