The Best Long-Lasting Lip Glosses To Add To Basket Now
With these formulas, the days of constant reapplication are officially over
For decades, lip gloss had a reputation: gorgeously shiny, yes, but also sticky, high-maintenance, and gone by the first coffee of the day. Thankfully, the new wave of gloss formulas has rewritten the rules. Today’s glosses deliver glass-like shine, nourishing hydration, and most importantly, impressive staying-on power.
Whether you’re heading to an all-day event, hopping between back-to-back meetings, or dancing until sunrise, these five glosses are designed to go the distance without constant touch-ups.
Kiko Milano 3D Hydra Lip Gloss
Affordable luxury at its finest. Kiko Milano’s 3D Hydra Gloss delivers multi-dimensional shine that lasts well beyond your morning coffee. The nourishing formula keeps lips hydrated, meaning the colour and sheen stay put without settling into fine lines.
Lawless Forget The Filler Lip Plumping Gloss
Part treatment, part gloss, this clean beauty favourite plumps and smooths while delivering serious longevity. The cushiony texture hugs the lips for hours, resisting transfer while keeping hydration locked in. It’s the one you can put on before a dinner date and still see the shine by dessert.
Patrick Ta Major Volume Lip Gloss
True to its name, Patrick Ta’s gloss offers major volume with major lasting power. The formula delivers a reflective, mirror-like shine that somehow feels weightless. It’s a backstage favourite for fashion week because it holds up through hours of runway chaos without losing its glossy impact.
Nyx Professional Makeup Butter Gloss
A drugstore legend for a reason. The Butter Gloss formula is silky, never sticky, and surprisingly long-wearing for such a lightweight texture. With dozens of flattering shades and a budget-friendly price tag, it’s the ultimate everyday gloss you’ll reapply only because you want to, not because you have to.
Lancome Lip Idôle JuicyTreat
The newest addition to Lancôme’s lip line-up is as indulgent as its name suggests. JuicyTreat offers vivid shine, rich colour payoff, and a balmy texture that grips to lips for hours. Perfect for when you want both bold pigment and long-lasting gloss in one swipe.
