(SPOT.ph) Glossy lips are all the rage now, with that subtle sheen and shine that looks clean and put-together all at once. Sure, matte lips and formulas had their moment and you’re still free to wear them if they’re your thing, but the gloss is back. Not convinced? We have a couple recommendations to get you in on the trend. Marked by bare lips enhanced through natural colors and a shiny top that adds dimension to your overall look without attracting too much attention, the glossy lips trend aims to elevate the lips you’re born with—sans all that stickiness.

Swipe on these lip glosses for a touch of shine
Rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss (P385)
Korean make-up brands always know where it’s at. And when the conversation is all about the clearest, shiniest gloss, Rom&nd takes the lead. Their Glasting Water Gloss comes in a clear tube with the traditional gloss applicator, making application smooth and simple. Both the clear gloss and tinted versions come with tiny flecks of glitter for a little dazzle on your lips.
Available on Shopee.
Issy Hydragloss (P349)
Local brand Issy also brought their A-game to the table: check out their Hydragloss, which comes in six gorgeous and versatile shades. Take your pick from the classic shiny gloss, or add the shimmery ones to cart for looks that scream fun and glam. The best part? Your lips are left feeling hydrated and moisturized without the tacky feeling.
Available on Lazada.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Crystal Gloss (P1,390)
The Crystal Gloss goes on smooth over any skintone and color so you can confidently smile after gliding it on your lips. Apply it on bare lips, over lipsticks and tints, or even over lipliners and matte shades you want to bring to life with a little glisten.
Available on Sephora.
Hypergleam Hydrating Lip Gloss in 2.5mL (P180)
When we say shade range, we mean shade range. Apart from the typical reds, oranges, and muted browns, Hypergleam also carries transparent glosses with tinges of colors like blue and purple for more experimental make-up looks, or if you want to play with color theory on your undertone. Take your pick from their shimmery tubes or go for the classic clear gloss—or both, we don’t judge.
Available on Shopee.
Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm (P1,450)
The Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm brings color to the table, but you can totally glide it over your favorite lippie to give it that multi-dimensional gloss. The shades favor a variety of skin tones and serve my-lips-but-better elegance. We love every color, but we’re going for morena-friendly Nearly Neutral as our pick.
Available online.
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Gloss (P2,365)
You’ve probably seen and heard of the viral Dior Beauty Lip Oil, but the luxury brand also carries a lipgloss line packed with more pigment in every swipe. The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Gloss comes in a clear tube with the signature silver Dior logo on the body and on the lid’s base. Hydrating and oh-so-shiny, your lips are bound to look opulent when you pucker up.
Available on Zalora.
Patrick Ta Major Volume Plumping Gloss in 9 mL (P1,630)
Patrick Ta’s Major Volume Plumping Gloss in the 9mL square tube not only packs good product in travel-friendly packaging, it also won’t fall off surfaces in the middle of a Get-Ready-With-Me sesh. True to its name, it also provides a minty feel when you swipe it on, making it the perfect weapon to wear for plump, juicy and moisturized lips.
Available online.
Happy Skin Lip Treatment Oil (P499)
Less lipgloss and more lip oil, the Happy Skin Lip Treatment Oil in clear is actually a lipcare product and not a make-up item. Infused with hyaluronic acid, the treatment oil will hydrate and moisturize your lips minus all the stickiness. Still, you can use it as a topper over your favorite lipsticks and tints, or use it as is for a more natural, shiny look that will highlight your lips. The treatment oil also comes in four other rosy shades for just the right dusting of pink on your pucker.
Available online.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer (P1,640)
The Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer comes in the brand’s trademark hexagonal packaging and sleek black font plastered on once facet—you don’t have to worry about this gloss rolling off tables or sink tops when you’re doing your make-up. The doe-foot applicator also ensures a smooth and easy swipe each time, plus the 9mL version makes it compact and travel-friendly. Glass Slipper makes for a great topper for all your lippies, but you could also play around with the five other colored shades in the line.
Available online.
