Pucker up! From all natural to full glam, hydrated, glossy lips are essential to every makeup look. Whether you’re searching for a nourishing overnight lip mask to add to your nighttime routine or want the perfect lip pencil to do a little over-lining with, there’s something for you on this list. The College Beauty Awards testers narrowed down their favorite picks into this top 10, which includes lip treatments, liners, oils, glosses, masks and more. Pair these products together or wear them independently for date nights, study sessions, and everything in between.
