Lip gloss Lip Luster, shade Hall of Fame, Charlotte Tilbury

Remember the time when pale lips were the ultimate dream? Everything was used - and foundation, and concealer, and white lipstick, reminiscent of a clerical touch. Now you should not do this, but rich smoky eyes or wide black arrows still require a minimum emphasis on the lips, so transparent nude gloss is our everything.
The Hall of Fame shade from the British brand Charlotte Tilbury is what the doctor ordered: not too pink, moderately pale, but not “flat”. The consistency will appeal to those who love persistent products - hair in the wind, of course, will stick, but the shine will not remain on a cup of coffee and even survive a snack. I also like the fact that it does not lay down in a thick glossy layer. The thin applicator allows you to give your lips a light shine, but if you want "liquid glass", feel free to layer.
By the way, the product not only visually increases the volume of the lips, but also cares for the skin - the brand did not skimp on the lotus extract. This natural antioxidant moisturizes, protects and soothes lips - goodbye to hated peeling!
In 2013, Rihanna launched a line of cosmetics together with the MAC brand, then several collaborations with Puma followed, but the singer decided not to stop there. And at the end of last year, we already admired the photos of "mouth-watering" highlighters in pale pink tubes, mini-brushes and - of course - the universal lip gloss Gloss Bomb from the Fenty Beauty brand. I immediately wanted to add the latter to my collection by sending a beauty trooper to New York. The efforts were not in vain - I responsibly declare that this is the best thing that happened to my lips in my entire life!
First, the glitter smells like cookies. But even if you are not "turned" on sweets, like me, you will definitely love the universal shade - Rihanna specially selected the tone so that it would suit any skin color. On my lips it is a barely noticeable, translucent warm nude with a slight shimmer - as they say now: my lips, only better. That is why the glitter is combined with any makeup - even draw a rainbow in front of your eyes.
The singer herself admitted: "With Gloss Bomb you will definitely want to kiss." I don’t know about kissing, but lips feel great - they increase in volume due to small glitter, smell delicious and, in general, look well-groomed. And it's also the most non-sticky gloss in my memory - don't be surprised if you carry it with you everywhere and renew it ten times a day. PS: This is exactly what I do.

Lip gloss Rouge Coco Gloss, shade Poppea, Chanel

For the chief editor of BeautyHack Karina Andreeva, Rouge Coco glosses have been replaced with lip balm, and all because it contains natural waxes: jojoba, sunflower and mimosa. I take inspiration from her example and use the watermelon pink Poppea in the most difficult cases - after thermonuclear matte lipsticks or drying sunbathing.
This is no longer nude, but quite a berry-raspberry on my lips - I add an eyebrow pencil to the shine a tone darker and emphasize the "apples" of the cheeks with a tint from Becca. And on days when I forget to take the tint with me, I apply Rouge Coco directly to the cheekbones - it turns out blush and highlighter at the same time. I also love the massive applicator, with which you don't need to accurately draw lines. A couple of movements during the "cross" from the metro to the office - and the sponge-berries are ready. And for the fact that fluff, midges and newly wound curls do not stick to the shine, special thanks to him.

Signature Color Highlighted Lipgloss Popsicle Artistry

Yes, yes, it didn't seem to you - this lip gloss really shines, you just need to unscrew the cap. This small but very useful detail won me over: I immediately tried to apply glitter in pitch darkness - it turned out perfect! I remembered all the times when I had to touch up makeup in a taxi and immediately put the gloss in a cosmetic bag.
A little less than six months ago, Artistry (a cosmetic brand from the well-known Amway) released a limited collection dedicated to lollipops. It also includes updated shine with a three-layer structure that gives the effect of a multifaceted color. Popsicle immediately reminded me of a sunset in Malibu or orange jelly, but most importantly, the gloss on the lips resembles a moisturizing balm, does not cause discomfort and does not turn into PVA glue over time. I struggle hard with the desire to mix all three colors in a tube, but this is not necessary - I get a rich coral shade on my lips with a barely noticeable shimmer. I just do it: I combine bright shine with a complete lack of makeup, a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
Price: 1 980 rub.
Hi-Fi Shine Lip Gloss, Jawbreaker, Urban Decay

Not so long ago, the Urban Decay brand has released a collection of glitters for every taste - it is difficult not to choose your “favorite” from 20 shades and four types of textures. And I, a lover of everything soft pink and almost imperceptible, gave preference to the flashy purple shade of Jawbreaker, - and he shouts: "Summer is in full swing, go to the festival soon!" On days when I want to do my make-up "quieter", I apply Hi-Fi Shine in one layer, and if my soul asks for a holiday - in two or three (in this case, the lips will get the same color as in the tube).
The gloss is enclosed in a futuristic elongated bottle and smells like peppermint gingerbread - it contains peppermint oil, which gives the lips volume, and vitamin E. Moreover, there will be no discomfort from the mint - you will not feel a tingling sensation, but a slight chill, like toothpaste on your lips.
I devote a separate paragraph to durability - despite the complex shade, the shine does not smear and does not flow into fine wrinkles. The consistency is more like liquid jelly than oil, so the shine lasts honestly and steadily for six hours.
