Read how we picked the best.
Lip glosses serve 3 primary purposes; adding shine to your lips, moisturizing the lips and adding a little colour.
Lip glosses serve 3 primary purposes; adding shine to your lips, moisturizing the lips and adding a little colour.
While picking a lip gloss, you need to know why you are choosing one. Depending on that, your selections will vary. For example, you want to buy a gloss to add shimmer to your lips; you should choose a colourless or transparent lip gloss that will enhance either your natural lip colour or the colour of your lipstick. Similarly, if you want to add colour and prefer to use the gloss directly rather than the lipstick, you should buy one that gives you excellent colour. So be very clear as to why you want to buy the gloss.

The lip gloss sits on your lips and has a 99% chance of getting into your stomach with water or food. This is why ingredients matter! If you are prone to some allergies due to ingredients like beeswax, preservatives or colouring, then you should pay attention while buying them. Have a good look at the ingredients tagged at the back or in the product description.

If you are buying a gloss to add colour to your lips, you should consider your original lip colour and also your skin tone. The glosses either give you a full sheer cover or a just adds a light sheer of colour.
Pro Tip: Choose a lip colour that is slightly darker than your natural lip colour. This will highlight your lips well and still not appear too bright.

Lip glosses also have flavours. Most common amongst these are grape, cherry and strawberry. But sometimes the real feel of this flavour can be a bit off than what you expect.
Our Recommendation: Don't ponder too much upon this.

You may get a few variants in this. There are squeeze tubes that you can directly use to apply the gloss on your lips. There are also plastic or fibre bottles that come with a brush applicator. You may also find rollers in this which have a small rolling ball placed at the head, and you can just apply the gloss by rolling the tube on your lips. Select a container design that best suits your needs and lifestyle. If you ask us, the one with brush applicators is much easy and precise in their application.

A gloss should last for a significant time through a day and not wear out quickly. Of course, lip glosses have lesser sustainability than lipsticks, but there are a few in the market that are smudge-proof and will stay for a reasonable amount of time. The more durable the gloss, lesser the number of repeated applications.

The older lip glosses had a heavy feel upon application, and we all surely want to avoid that. Choose a lip gloss that does not feel like you have just added a layer of it upon your lips. Lighter feeling glosses make it more comfortable to wear them.

There is a common misconception that pricey lipglosses are the best! But the cost of the gloss does not determine its quality. If you are buying a gloss, keep a fixed budget in mind and look at what the gloss offers you in it. Even some less pricey glosses provide the exact same features as expensive ones do. It is really all about your choice!

If you are selecting a gloss for daily wear, it will do well if you choose a colourless or a neutral coloured gloss. These shades add a little glimmer to your everyday look and still not appear to be overdone!

While selecting a gloss for some special occasions, you can opt for darker or more poppy shades. These are perfect for highlighting your lips which complements the overall make-up. Deep shades or fresh shades add a lot of glamour to your look and make it look all “party ready.”
Our Recommendation: Transparent or colourless lip glosses are the best pick if you want an all-rounder. The reason for this is that in daily use, they add glitter to your natural lip colour or lipstick. And if purchased for special occasions, they add shimmer to the lipstick that you choose to wear without changing its colour.

Using a lip gloss is no rocket science!
Shake the bottle well before you began the application.
Unstopper the lead, if you have a brush applicator, pull it out. If you have a squeeze tube, directly put it on your lips.
If you are applying with an applicator, dip the brush and take a small portion of the gloss on it. Apply a thin and even layer covering the entire lip area.
If you are using a squeeze tube, press the tube lightly and run it all over the lips to get a fine and even layer.
After you are done with the application, purse your lips together to even it out!
All set to go!
