Best Lip Gloss

13 of the Best High-Shine, Non-Sticky Lip Glosses That Have Ever Existed

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

The best lip glosses still make a statement, even 11 years after rapper Lil Mama declared her love for the beauty product. We've come a long way from the early 2000's lip gloss, as brands have made strides to include more moisturising and skin-softening ingredients, and to make them feel less sticky, more hydrated. Included on this list you'll find clear lip gloss with glass-like finishes, lip gloss sets that make great gifts, and amazing drugstore lip gloss options. Ahead, check out our picks for the best lip glosses — the ones we'll still be singing about a decade later.

As serious lip product lovers, we've curated the 17 best of the best. These options are guaranteed to become your new go-to's. Lip gloss is one of our desert island beauty products, and some of the only makeup we've consistently worn throughout our lives, so we know a thing or two about a great formula. Keep on reading to shop our picks.
