What's The Gloss? We Love Summer's Hot Lip Look

I love a good matte lip. I do. I mean, I don't love the constant lip scrubbing and balm applying I have to do to achieve a flawless matte lip, but it's worth it for the safistication, chicness and stayability that a matte lip provides. BUT. I have to admit I was super stoked when the lip look du jour did a 180 recently.

Gloss is back, people! And it makes sense - if glitter's going all out this year then gloss is its perfect playing partner!

Also, it's fresh, it's easy, it's fun - and it's the perfect look for summer! So what's the goss on gloss? What do we want on our lips now?

Fenty Beauty's Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer has hit the beauty scene with an epic pool bomb splash! What we love most? It's universal rose-gold shade has been designed to suit everyone! Gotta love a lip gloss that makes shade choosing easy!

Feel like flashing some cash? Then By Terry's Gloss Terrybly Shine will look as super impressive being whipped out of your purse as it does being whipped onto your lips!

Of course, you don't have to spend a small fortune to get a good gloss going on, and Wet n Wild's MegaSlicks Lip Gloss can give you lucious looking lips for less than a fiver!

Like to have a little fun with your makeup? Then this gloss is for you! Lipstick Queen's Frog Prince Lip Gloss looks a sickly shade in the bottle but transforms on your lips into a lush shade of rosebud! It's also got a bunch of good stuff in it to keep your lips nice and nourished.

As for the top rated gloss on Beauty Review? It seems you can't get enough of NYX Professional Makeup's Butter Glosses. Coming in with a whopping overall rating of 4.6/5 with 101 reviews to its name, this is one gloss you guys go gaga for! 

Will you guys be getting your gloss on? Has matte had its day in your books? Or will you be mixing up the looks, maybe even combining them in order to get the best of both worlds? Get chatting!

I love the look and idea of gloss but I never use it as I’m not a fan of its low durability. I love to socialise which usually means eating and drinking so im usually a mate lippy kinda girl although I’m not the biggest fan of the texture. Such a catch 22!

For the past few months Ive been applying matte lipsticks with gloss over the top, mostly because most of my lipsticks are matte and its been a great change to just matte. I love the NYX butter glosses and the Maybelline creamy glosses.

I used to loooove gloss as a teen the holographic from loreal and glam shine diamonds and water shine ones were what I'd save up for. I have been using a gloss recently but more because my lips need hydration. I quite like my lipsticks that have some shine but don't look as wet as a gloss these days.

Would be super keen to try NYX!

I love love love gloss because of the exact reason that matte lip colour chronically dries out my lips. The Nyx Butter Gloss is my favourite as there are sooooo many shades. You can also go for the Nyx Intense Butter Gloss if you really want to amp up the colour.

I love the Trilogy gloss :)

I love nude lip glosses but they are usually too glossy or matte... I find it so hard to find just the perfect one!

I still love matte, but haven't used gloss in years. I'm not sure what I feel about wearing it again

2nd February, 2018

That Lipstick Queen one looks fun!

2nd February, 2018

Yay! I never really got into the matte look but I love a nice shiny gloss. Will definitely have to try some of these out this year

This could be a 'mum' thing, but school drop off, my lip gloss is my kiddo's worse nightmare when I'm dropping him off .....so I'm a matte lippy lady... Lip glosses just seem so sticky and shiny too! ... That said the Nyx butter gloss looks devine - and a great price - so I think I'll try that one for a natural lippy on weekend or when I'm not drop-off Mum!

I was there for the 90s gloopiness and I only recently, and tentatively, got my gloss on again. It is a such a nice break from the acrid desert lips of matte. I still adhere to the lipliner with this look as it walls it off from much-too-wet, and provides some definition. A little gloss over a matte lip works also. It marries heavy pigment with dewy freshness.

Love gloss or matte as long as I don't eat it off or it's not sticky I'll wear it I'll quite happily put a gloss over a matte lippy it changes the look

The only gloss I love atm is Colorpop Karruche Contessa it’s gorgeous. I love it that much I’ve almost used it all up . That Fenty one looks good. I’m not prepared to spend that much for a gloss lol I’ll admire it from a distance.

I’ve tried Nyx. I use to love them but not so much these days. I guess I wear liquid matte and creamy lipstick more these days.
