Gossier lip gloss leaves your lips looking soft, glossy, and dewy.

It has a high-shine finish

Glossier's lip gloss is known for its high-shine finish, which leaves your lips looking soft, glossy, and dewy. Whether you wear the bright pink shade or the clear formula, Glossier's best-selling lip gloss gives lips a smooth and shiny texture.

It nourishes your lips

The lip gloss's formula uses both vitamin E and jojoba oil to moisturize lips and enhance their softness. Many lip products like cheap glosses or matte lipsticks can make lips feel dry and cracked. This product does the opposite and truly nourishes lips all day long—even as it wears off, it leaves your lips feeling soft and hydrated.

You can layer it with other lip colors 

Though Glossier currently only has three color options for its gloss—clear, holographic, and red—they're incredibly versatile. The colors look more opaque in the tube, but the upside of their shiny application is that they can enhance other lip colors you already have, including lip pencils, lipsticks, and other gloss shades. Reviewers are quick to call this the "best clear lip gloss out there," so you can use it both on its own or as a topper to other lip products in your makeup routine.

Does Glossier lip gloss last?

It's definitely one of the longer-lasting lip glosses out there

Glossier Lip Gloss has a pretty great staying power, for a lip gloss that is. While it won't last as long as a matte or long-wear lipstick, it's definitely one of the longer-lasting lip glosses out there, though you'll need to reapply after a meal or workout.

Is Glossier lip gloss sticky?

In my experience, the gloss's stickiness depends on how you wear it. If I swiped it on my bare lips, the gloss felt incredibly sticky. It was even difficult to wash off using various cleansers and wipes. But, if I applied the gloss over a thick layer of lip balm, lipstick, or another lightweight gloss it was perfectly smooth. Reviewers claim it's not sticky at all, so you'll have to see for yourself if it lives up to its slick reputation.

How much is Glossier lip gloss?

The minimalist brand's signature lip gloss costs $15 for a 4.2ml tube, which puts it in the middle of the pack compared to popular brands like Rare Beauty, Tower 28, ULTA Beauty, and Maybelline.
