14 Lip Glosses That'll Convince You to Give Up Your Mattes

I can't swipe on a lip gloss without singing that Lil' Mama song. Think back to 2008. You know the one. ("They say my lip gloss be cool/My lip gloss be popping.") And I'm about to have it playing in my head on repeat because lip gloss is back in a major way.

Unlike most lipsticks (particularly matte lipsticks), a good lip gloss can actually moisturize dry lips — instead of bringing attention to every dry spot and fine line. And the formulas have come a long way since your high school days. Instead of goopy, sticky formulas that made you fear even the slightest breeze (hair + lip gloss is not a good combo), the best new glosses are supershiny without any tackiness. Plus, there are so many exciting finishes to play with, including a whole host of unicorn-level holographic glosses.

Here are 14 cool lip glosses that will have all the boys chasing you after school (or, to bring things back to 2018, get you a lot of right swipes). Get ready to work it.
