NEW GEN LIP GLOSS
HOT PRODUCTS:
Thanks to the rise of Y2K beauty, lip gloss is back. Ultra glossy lips have been spotted on everyone from Kylie Jenner to Y2K poster girl Hailey Bieber and we’re obsessed. Gone are the days of thick, gloopy formulas that leave your lips sticky and your hair stuck. Today’s glosses are shiny but not sticky, hydrating but not heavy and usually packed full of skincare ingredients. From Patrick Ta and Charlotte Tilbury to Tom Ford Beauty and NARS, meet the lip glosses you need in your makeup bag.
1. PATRICK TA - MAJOR VOLUME PLUMPING LIP GLOSS
Is there anything Patrick Ta can’t do? Ft. hydrating peptides, ginger and cinnamon, this gloss delivers major shine while visibly volumizing and firming the lips. Available in five universally-flattering shades, there’s a colour for every outfit, mood and occasion. The tingling sensation? That’s just the lip gloss getting to work.
2. CHARLOTTE TILBURY - COLLAGEN LIP BATH
Want the nourishing feeling of a lip mask but the look of a gloss? Thank goodness for Charlotte Tilbury then.
