The Pink Lip Glosses That Make Every Makeup Moment Prettier and Flirtier

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’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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
