    There are a few beauty products that I consider indispensable parts of every routine. Blush, perfume, and lip gloss, specifically in pink this season, are my top three. But when it comes to pink lip glosses, I find many people struggle to find the one. “While personal preference leads the charge, the right pink comes down to undertone and depth," Ulta Beauty Pro Team Member Mat Wulff previously told Marie Claire. I’m of a similar school of thought when it comes to pink lip glosses, but I firmly believe that any shade can work with the right lip liner and mindset.

    I’m well over a decade into my beauty obsession, and in the earlier days of the beauty industry, brands were not as inclusive as they are today. I know how confusing and overwhelming it can feel to try to figure out what not only looks good on your skin but is also worth shelling out your hard-earned dollars for. Fear not, as it is quite literally my job to help you do just that. From luxury maisons like Chanel to gems from some of your favorite drugstore brands, there are some incredible pink lip glosses at every price point you can imagine.

    I’ve tried a rather healthy number of pink lip glosses, so I’ve curated a list of my favorites. If you’re in your lip gloss and vibes era this summer, keep reading for the ones worth taking up precious space in your mini bags this season.

    Rouge Coco Gloss Moisturizing Glossimer - 804

    Chanel
    Rouge Coco Gloss Moisturizing Glossimer in Icing
    $42
    SHOP NOW

    Chanel’s Glossimers are among the newer formulas I’ve tried, and I am scolding myself for not trying them sooner. The shades Icing and Rose Naif have my heart, but if I had to choose, the latter is a warmer color I’d wear more on its own or with a liner. These are thick, glossy, and very shiny but not tacky, and they deposit the perfect amount of sheer pigment with one swipe, but can be built up if you’d like.

    Revlon pink sky lipgloss

    Revlon
    Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Sky Pink
    $9
    SHOP NOW

    Revlon’s Sky Pink gloss is the best thing to come out of the drugstore in a long time, and I fully stand by that. It’s the perfect, baby pink color that can work on any skin tone, and best of all? It’s less than ten dollars.

    Lust: Lip Gloss - Nude Venus

    Pat McGrath
    Lust: Lip Gloss in Nude Venus
    $29
    SHOP NOW

    If you’re specifically on the hunt for a cool-toned gloss, Pat McGrath’s Prima Donna should be in your cart. It’s a midtone shade that will pair well with pretty much any lip combination that you use it with, and since it comes from the mind of the mother of makeup, of course, the formula is perfectly moisturizing, shiny, and comfortable for all-day wear.

    Forget the Filler Lip Plumper Line Smoothing Gloss - Blushed Sand

    Lawless
    Forget the Filler Lip Plumper Line Smoothing Gloss in Blushed Sand
    $26
    SHOP NOW

    My bottle of Blushed Sand from Lawless is such a mainstay in my routine these days as we head into the warmer months. If you want plump, juicy-looking lips and to blur the look of lip lines without the pain of traditional lip plumper formulas, this is the pink lip gloss for you.

    Lipglass High-Shine, Conditioning + Smoothing Lip Gloss - C-Thru

    M.A.Ç. Cosmetics
    Lipglass in Nymphette
    $24
    SHOP NOW

    I don’t hear many people talking about this lip gloss, and it’s high time that changed. Nymphette is a beautiful pink shade with gold shimmer, and while this sounds excessive, I actually like to pair it with a clear gloss on top. The combo disperses the shimmers to make the lip look less frosty and more intentionally shimmer-y.

    Posh Gloss

    Victoria Beckham Beauty
    Posh Gloss in Poolside
    $33
    SHOP NOW

    Poolside from Victoria Beckham Beauty is what I call the corporate-girl gloss. It leans more on the warm side, making it a “your lips but better” shade, and it’s pigmented enough to be worn on its own in place of lipstick and even lip liner if you so choose.

    Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss - 009 Intense Rosewood

    Dior Beauty
    Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss in 001 Pink
    $42
    SHOP NOW

    Dior's Lip Maximizer Gloss in 001 Pink is a perfect, sheer baby pink. It gives a sheer wash of color while simultaneously filling in lip lines—and don't underestimate its glossiness; the shine is next level.

    Prisma Glass Hydrating Lip Gloss With Squalane - 09 Sorbet Beam

    Armani Beauty
    Prisma Glass Lip Gloss in Five
    $40
    SHOP NOW

    Not many brands know how to create a lip product that has the shine of a gloss, with the feel of a balm, but Armani has nailed it. The Prisma Glass formula in the shade Five is described as a raspberry pink, and not only is the shade absolutely stunning on all skin tones, but it feels so deeply nourishing on the lips that I’ve been using it in place of some of my favorite lip balms. Feels like a two-for-one if you ask me.

    Universal Luminous Tinted Lip Gloss - Cotton Candy

    Anastasia Beverly Hills
    Universal Luminous Tinted Lip Gloss in Lilac Pink
    $23
    SHOP NOW

    My obsession with Cotton Candy from Anastasia Beverly Hills needs to be studied. Be warned: this formula is extremely pigmented, so a little goes a long way. It's super long-wearing (it’s even lasted through eating, which shocked me too), and the Lilac Pink shade works for all skin tones.

    Glossy Lip Hue Hydrating Lip Shine With Hyaluronic Acid - Bilingual

    Hung Vanngo Beauty
    Glossy Lip Hue in Worth Every Penny
    $26
    SHOP NOW

    I did not expect to love the Hung Vanngo Glossy Lip Hues as much as I do, but they are phenomenal. Everything from the squeeze tube to the shades (my favorite is Worth Every Penny) is a sensorial delight. Plus, they also feel like nothing on the lips. This one’s a formula I recommend trying in person if you can to really get the full effect.

    Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Gloss Luminizer - Wattab!*%#

    Fenty Beauty by Rihanna
    Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Gloss Luminizer in Sweetmouth
    $23
    SHOP NOW

    Nobody is touching Fenty Beauty when it comes to a shimmery gloss, and I’ve felt this way since the brand first launched back when I was in college. The shade Sweetmouth, in particular, is a soft pink with matching shimmer that makes my lips look wet on application, and the candy-like scent is one of the few cosmetic fragrances that I can actually stand.

    Gloss Luxe Lip Gloss With Hydrating Jojoba Oil & High-Shine - 03 Casablanca

    Tom Ford
    Gloss Luxe Lip Gloss in Casablanca
    $62
    SHOP NOW

    If deeper pinks are your jam, Tom Ford’s Casablanca should be on your radar. It’s a deep rose shade that feels lightweight on the lips yet still delivers a gorgeous wash of color, perfect for grabbing and going before painting the town red (or, in this instance, pink).

    Afterglow Lip Shine Gloss - Orgasm

    Nars
    Afterglow Lip Shine Gloss
    $32
    SHOP NOW

    Turkish Delight from Nars is well known for being one of Kim Kardashian's favorite glosses in the early aughts, and I'm happy to report that it's still a perfect milky pink shade, but with an updated formula that feels like silk on the lips. It's all shine and no tack, which is perfect for people who want the shine of a gloss but don't like the feeling of traditional formulas.

    How to Find The Right Pink Lip Gloss

    Your favorite pink lip gloss is a matter of personal preference, but makeup artists tend to follow guidelines. “Undertone and depth are the two key factors when looking for a pink gloss that matches your complexion perfectly,” celebrity makeup artist, Theo Turner, tells me. “For lighter skin tones, you will want to lean towards baby pinks and soft roses. Tan complexions require a little more depth, making mauve and dusty rose tones most appropriate. Lastly, for deeper skin tones, we want to continue to add depth by adding mauve or deeper berry tones to complement the natural pigmentation in the lips.”
