The days of ultra-matte liquid lipsticks are long gone (sorry Kylie), but shiny, glittery lip glosses are here to stay. Now is the time to grow accustomed to the feeling of your hair congealed to your lips as you walk to class a rather windy day because glosses are all the rage. So, if you want your lip gloss to be not only cool but also poppin’ (shoutout Lil Mama), feel free to steal some of our favorites:

1. e.l.f Cosmetics Lip Lacquer – $3.00

At an affordable price-point, e.l.f Cosmetics provides us with a reliable and sturdy gloss with minimal stickiness. The Lip Lacquer is the gloss we pull out of the bottom of our purse after rooting through old receipts and scrunchies.

It’ll always be there for us, sitting alongside gum wrappers and loose change.

2. NYX Lip Lingerie Gloss - $7.50

The clear Lip Lingerie Gloss from NYX Cosmetics is the perfect gloss to wear over any lipstick –

from our boldest metallics to our favorite nude lip. It is universal, affordable, and will always elevate any look.

No matter what level of extra we are feeling, the clear gloss will always be the perfect finish to our look.

3. Milani Hypnotic Lights Lip Topper - $10.99

The Hypnotic Lights Lip Topper from Milani provides us with a bold, holographic look, with a glittery metallic shift. It is for when we wish to capture the essence of a disco ball with our lips…but in the best way possible.

4. Pixi Beauty LipLift Max -$14.00

Pixi Beauty’s LipLift Max plays the most mom-like, nurturing role out of our favorite glosses.

It soothes, nourishes, and heals the lips with different natural oils.

It moisturizes the lips while working to achieve a plumped effect.

This gloss looks out for our well-being.

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss - $16.00

We love the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss because the product comes in a variety of finishes and shades. From sparkles to iridescent finishes, we use these glosses for any day, night,

bold, or natural look.

6. Dose of Colors Stay Glossy Lip Glosses - $17.00

Dose of Colors Stay Glossy Lip Gloss is on our list because the line not only provides inclusive natural shades for a variety of skin tones, but the glosses also provide the ultimate shine for hours.

7. Jouer Cosmetics High Pigment Lip Gloss - $17.00

These glosses from Jouer Cosmetics are ultra-pigmented and can stand alone on naked lips; however, they also apply just as easily on top of any lipstick. The formula of the gloss is hydrating through ingredients such as jojoba seed oil and coconut oil.

8. Jeffree Star The Gloss - $18.00

Jeffree Star’s glosses are the prom queens of our gloss list. The packaging alone is regal and extra but the high-quality formula of both glitter and shine finishes is what makes these glosses so mesmerizing.

9. Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb - $18.00

Everything Rihanna does is iconic.

So why would her glosses be anything less than glamorous?

We at Jerk would wear Rihanna’s Gloss Bomb just for the intoxicating peachy scent alone.

However, the gloss also makes our lips look and feel flawless.

10. Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Lip - $28.00

The Beauty Enamored Lip by Marc Jacobs sits on the pricier end of our favorite glosses but provides us with the most luxurious, juiciest and most pigmented lips for hours…and it tastes like the most expensive candy cane we have ever eaten.

Fun Fact: All of our favorite glosses are from cruelty-free brands!
