5 New Lip Glosses That May Replace Your Matte Lipstick

We love a good comeback story!
5 New Lip Glosses That May Replace Your Matte Lipstick
M.VENTER-YAPR
By Nikki Brown · Updated October 26, 2020
For most of us, our introduction to beauty products began with a tube of lip gloss. Its high shine colors were a staple in our middle school lockers, but eventually replaced with lipstick. Over time, the latter has evolved to include its own rolodex of variations, leaving gloss in the dust and our faint memories. We’ve spent the past couple of years infatuated with matte formulas in particular, but there aren’t enough lip kits in the world to block our need for nostalgia. Lip gloss has made an unexpected comeback and now, a host of our favorite brands–like Glossier– are getting in on the craze. If you’re here for the latest beauty resurgence, pucker up to five other brands that are selling the latest and greatest lip gloss lines. Subscribe to our daily newsletter for the latest in hair, beauty, style and celebrity news.
01
BECCA Liquid Crystal Glow Gloss

This limited edition line of holographic lip glosses are your unicorn dreams realized. Inspired by raw gemstones melted into liquid form, each shade includes a custom mix of colors that create a multi-colored finish and flatter all skintones.

The self-proclaimed “skincare makeup” brand is also in on the gloss craze. Their summer 2017 collection includes a line of creamy glazes that are infused with vitamin E, moringa butter and avocado oil for added hydration and protection.

MAC has long been in the lip gloss business, but its newest summer collection is dedicated to high shine.

The “Summer Succulence” shade will pair perfectly with your choice of nude lipstick.

Flirt Cosmetics CHIC Happens Ombre Lip Kit

This fairly new (and totally Instagrammable) beauty brand has brilliantly blended our obsession with lip kits and longstanding love for lip gloss. This handy duo takes the guess work out of matching shades by allowing you to blend and highlight the formulas or use each of them alone.
