Gloss Boss: Lip Trends You Need to Try This Winter

Lipgloss in the winter? Not groundbreaking but oh so necessary! When it comes to winter lip trends, lipgloss is your friend. It coats your lips with juicy-looking shine and even adds a barrier between the cold weather temps and your lips. Lipgloss is also the perfect product to reach for when you want a step up from lip balm and don’t want to commit to lipstick. Since lipglosses come in every color, texture and formula, finding your best fit for any occasion is easy. Here are the lipgloss looks that are trending now.

Build your lip care kit

In the winter, healthy moisturized lips are it. Before you experiment with a winter-approved lipgloss look, remember that smooth, soft lips should be your starting point. Stock your lip care kit essentials to maintain hydrated lips in the winter. Start with this protective lip balm for day. This one is SPF20 and will ensure your lips are safe from the harsh winter elements. If you have any flakiness, reach for this lip scrub. It’s infused with shea butter, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid and leaves lips feeling super soft.

Here Are Four Lipgloss Trends To Try Now: 

NUDE LIPS

Some beauty trends will never get tired and glossy nude lips are one of them. This celeb-friendly staple look is winter-approved because it’s neutral and perfect for every day and any occasion. To find your best nude, look to your natural lip color and go from there. You’ll want something that’s within a few shades of your natural tone for best results. Some of our faves are this extreme shine lipgloss and this plumping lip-filler-like formula.

DARK CHERRY

Dark cherry is going to be everywhere this season on everything from lips to nail tips. The vampy shade is ultra-flattering because it mimics a gorgeous lip stain that is so perfect for this time of year (Twilight fans forever rejoice!). Get the look with this bestselling gorge lip tint or this black-tinted lipgloss. The latter formula has plumping benefits so your lips will be plump and pouty in the best way. It also has a hint of shimmer, which makes it elevated.

DIMENSIONAL LIPS

Viral lip combos continue to make waves on our social feeds and if we’ve learned anything about this approach, the possibilities are endless. Dimensional lips consist of a lipliner that’s a darker shade than gloss so there’s some depth. It’s also a great way to make your lips appear even poutier, thanks to the overlining trend. Not sure which color combo to try first? Start super simple and go with a matte lipliner in a neutral shade (we love Rosy Nude and Silky Hazelnut) and fill in your lips with a clear high-shine gloss. This one has peptides to keep your lips looking youthful and plump!

PINK SHIMMER 

Y2K called and they’re sending their pink shimmery lipgloss back. Shimmery glosses have taken over all the beauty girlie feeds for good reason. The look is so pretty! Shimmer has also come a long way since then and the way today’s formulas pick up the light is seriously stunning. Get the look with this reflective lipgloss, which coats lips in a mesmerizing multi-reflective, iridescent shimmer. The best part? The formula is non-sticky, unlike the ones from the past.
