Best Pearly Lip Gloss
Bite Beauty Prismatic Pearl Creme Lip Gloss, $22
These glosses pull out all the stops. Thanks to their creamy finish, they're surprisingly high coverage and the metallic pearl in the formula adds extra dimensional shine. There's quite the editorial selection of colors as well with shades ranging from a true gold to an oil slick-esque peacock teal.
Best Lip Oil
Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Oil Tint, $5.99
Looking for a conditioning gloss that happens to add a gorgeous glow to your lips? Rimmel's got your back with this lip oil, which is as comfy as it is shiny.
Best Holographic Lip Gloss
Milani Stellar Lights Holographic Lip Gloss, $9
Holographic lip glosses are all the rage right now and Milani's got a great budget-friendly option. You can't go wrong with any of the colors but the hypnotic Kaleidoscopic Purple (a sheer purple, packed with iridescent blue shimmer) is especially gorgeous.
Best Protective Lip Gloss
Even if you consider yourself pretty good about your daily dose of SPF, it's easy to leave your lips out of the equation. A subtly sparkly gloss like this one from Colorescience is a great solution to that problem — now your lips can grab a little extra protection while they shine.
Best Color-Changing Lip Gloss
Surratt Beauty Lip Lustre in Je Ne Sais Quoi, $32
Who among us doesn't love a good pH-adjusting color-changing lip gloss? Je Ne Sais Quoi, a recently-launched shade from Surratt, looks like an iridescent unicorn blue in the tube but quickly transforms to a high-octane shimmery pink on your lips.
