When it comes to finding the best lip gloss, it can certainly be a challenge. Personally, I hate when lip glosses are way too thick and feel tacky on my lips. That’s why I was so incredibly happy when I found my perfect lip gloss brands. These brands will have your lips moisturized, plumped, and shiny for any occasion. 

Vaseline 

The first lip gloss brand that I would recommend is very simple and well-known: “Vaseline.” I especially love the tinted Vaseline lip balms. I came across this lip gloss as a gift, and I’ve been simply obsessed with it. It smells so sweet, gives my lips the perfect pinkish color, and hydrates them so well. It is also so affordable! 

Summer Fridays 

Another go-to brand I have, which most girls know, is “Summer Fridays.” This brand has been one of my all-time favorites for a few years now. Personally, I just love their clear gloss and pink gloss, but all of the colors are so good, and the texture is absolutely perfect. This brand is a little bit more on the pricey side, but it is so worth it, especially when layered with a lip liner or on top of a matte lipstick. 

Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter  

For a lip gloss that is really good with a full face of makeup or layering with lipstick, I recommend the “Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter” lip gloss. This is one of my favorite lip glosses, not only because the packaging is so cute, since it has a little charm on it, but also because the texture is incredible. It has such a cute pinkish tint, and I love wearing this and carrying it with me every time I have a night out. It definitely is on the more expensive side, but it lasts a long time and is, in my opinion, worth the price. 

EOS Cashmere Lip Butter 

The last brand I would recommend is the “EOS Cashmere Lip Butter” brand. I absolutely love this lip gloss. It’s a bit on the thicker side texture-wise, but it is so hydrating and feels so lush on my lips. It is also very affordable, and it smells good, too. I love how it makes my lips look shiny and hydrated, and it’s nice if you are not a fan of color.  

Lip gloss is such a staple in every girl’s routine. Whether you like wearing a full face of makeup every day or you’re more into the “clean girl” makeup look, glosses are a girl’s best friend. I hope you enjoyed my recommendations and consider adding them to your makeup bag!
