Gloss is the New Black: 9 Glossy Beauty Picks

Shine like the star you are
Sometimes you want gloss, but you don't want to deal with the stickiness. (You know what we're talking about.) That's not something you have to worry about with this multi-use glossy beauty product. "In addition to being non-stick, I love that the gloss comes in four shades, including clear, and that it is specifically designed to be used on just about any area of the face," says global makeup artist Bryan Cantor. "If you are using this gloss to finish an eye look, be sure to create your eye look with long-wearing or waterproof products to help prevent excessive creasing."

They're basically in a category all their own — one part silky satin sheen, one part major gloss. The formulation means they're less prone to creasing, and that they contain nourishing ingredients such as jojoba and marula oils, shea butter, and vitamins E and C.

If you've got an urge to splurge, throw your bread at Giorgio Armani's bestselling Ecstasy Lacquer Lip Gloss. Cantor says, "I love that this super-pigmented gloss is a combination of a lipstick and lip gloss in one. It provides long wearing coverage that doesn't budge and stays shiny and bold for hours. Also, you can apply any of the 22 shades of this gloss over an eye primer or long wearing eyeshadow to create a glossy eye that lasts."

Think of this product as equal parts skin care and equal parts glow-creating machine. "This oil will transform your skin," says Metz. "You can apply it alone to give your skin a natural glowing look, or you can mix two drops into a full coverage foundation [or bb cream or tinted moisturizer] to luminize your base."
