A glossy lipstick is known for its shine and smooth texture. By far the most creamy and hydrating finish when it comes to lip products, a glossy lipstick typically retains moisture in the lips and gives the effect of plump and playful lips.
What is a glossy lipstick?
Compared to matte lipsticks, which are known for their intense colour, gloss finishes tend to have slightly sheerer pigmentation, though that does not mean the colour payoff is insignificant. Glossy lipsticks provide a juicy wash of colour and make the lips look and feel moisture full.
What is the best glossy lipstick?
A good glossy lipstick should coat the lips with a luminous sheen without feeling sticky. The texture should be smooth and feel comfortable to wear on the lips. If you are someone who has dry skin but loves to wear colour on your lips, a glossy lipstick is your best friend. With a hydrating finish, glossy formulas not only appear shiny and wet, they actually infuse moisture into your lips.
What are the best glossy lipstick shades?
Because of their sheerer finish, glossy lipsticks look great in almost any shade. Looking for a natural, everyday look? A pink or nude glossy lipstick would be perfect. Matte or creamier nude lipsticks can sometimes wash your face out a bit, but with just the right amount of colour and shine, a glossy lipstick brings life back into your lips. For a seductive, sophisticated number, go for a glossy red lipstick. The lustrous, smooth red colour is not only stunning but also gives the illusion of plumper, more youthful lips. If you’d like more precision and impact, you can add a red lip liner underneath to define the cupid’s bow and outer edges.
