With the resurgence of Y2K, many things from our mother’s times have become mainstream. Baguette bags, embellished denim, bangs but most importantly – lip gloss. But hold on, while they may look just like the early 2000s glosses, the 2023 versions are packed with skincare benefits like shea butter and hyaluronic acid, ensuring your lips stay nourished while looking plump and juicy.
To make sure you’re equipped with the hottest glosses of the past year, we’ve got a list of all our favourites – so let’s dive in!
Our Favourite Glosses
The DIOR Addict 24H Hydration Plumping Gloss Lip Maximizer in the shade 010 Holographic Pink has been a crowd favourite. Dior reimagined the classic shimmer lip with a 90% natural-origin ingredients formula to create this masterpiece and while it may not stay on as long – the finish is absolutely to die for!
The M.A.C Squirt Plumping Lip Gloss Stick in the shade Like Squirt is finally available in India. This plumping gloss stick from M.A.C is a must-try since it’s a delightful blend of nourishing oils and a glossy finish that leaves your lips looking and feeling fabulous.
Next up, the Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil Infused Gloss in the shade Slow Jam is one of the best lip glosses of the year. It is the epitome of hydration meets style. The sheer gloss is enriched with botanical oils, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins – perfect for those who want moisturised lips without compromising on the finish or colour!
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Honey Diamond Gloss is another one to add to your wishlist since the full-pigment gloss does wonders, giving your lips the shine of a gloss with the intensity of a lip stain. Its vanilla scent adds a delightful touch to the experience.
Infused with volumising technology, the Too Faced Lip Injection Power Plumping Lip Gloss in the shade Stars Are Aligned is a blend of hydrators that make your lips look fuller from the first swipe. Its cruelty-free formula ensures you get that plush, multidimensional finish while keeping your conscience clear.
Flossy Cosmetics has a lip gloss that doubles as a lip oil – the 24k Get Glazed gloss has a lightweight, sheer finish with a formula that is absolutely unbeatable. Packed with hydrating ingredients like shea butter and jojoba seed oil, it hydrates the whole time it’s on your lips!
The POPxo Makeup Lip Gloss Kit in the shade Glazed comes with three different glosses at the price of one! A pink shade, a nude shade, and a clear shimmer that are not only glossy but moisturising as well. One for every mood and season to achieve that glazed look without burning a hole in your pocket.
The Lakme Absolute Plump And Shine Lip Glosses are also a great budget-friendly pick for the season. The 3D gloss property and dermatologically tested formula make it a go-to for an effortless, sheer look. You can read my review here.
Last we have the e.l.f. Cosmetics Lip Plumping Gloss. This plumping gloss from e.l.f. Cosmetics is enriched with vitamin E and coconut oil. It is also super good at adding volume to your lips and is extremely tingly due to the plumping feature. The shimmer finish is perfect for glamming up any look!
