Blake Lively once said, “Lipstick lasts longer, but gloss is more fun,” and it’s true. This fall, we’re elevating our skincare routines starting with the lips. With the seasonal weather change, moisturization and hydration is key to keep lips soft, plump and primed for the rest of our beauty routine. That said, we’re spotting a glossy finish everywhere, but with a pop of colour. A tinted gloss balm is a game changer that lets us add shine and nourishment while being versatile; perfect for a no-makeup makeup look. Pair it with a lip liner, layer it with your favourite matte lipstick or wear alone—regardless, a gloss is the way to go. See our five favourites for the season below. —Eboni Skeete
We’re obsessed with the latest drop from Rhode, and for good reason. Hailey Bieber’s Peptide Lip Tint ($24) is a lip treatment formulated to combat and restore dry lips from within—but also gives a stunning buildable sheer tint for a tease of muted colours perfect for the season.
The Lip Butter Balm ($32) from Summer Fridays is the perfect silky hydrator for your lips with a range of finishes from pinks, reds and neutrals; all with a hint of flavour.
Dior’s Lip Glow Oil ($54) is a fan-favourite as it merges a balm and lip oil treatment all in one. With a handful of shiny finishes to choose from, the oil adapts to your natural lip pigment and intensifies the glow while adding nourishment.
The Glossybounce from Saie ($31) is a combination of a hydrating lip oil to give shine while serving as a treatment for the lips with Shea Butter to soften and condition. The colour range is universal and inclusive for all lip shades.
Rare Beauty’s Glossy Lip Balm ($30) acts like a lip mask in gloss form, delivering a gorgeous sheer colour that’s weightless and non-sticky and lasts all-day.
