The Romand Glasting Color Gloss is not your average lip gloss: boosting a plump and juicy glow reminiscent of an angel’s halo, this formula uses highly refractive oils to create an instantly voluminous pout, coating the lips with clear and vibrant color. The intensity of each hue can be made more opaque by applying several layers without it feeling sticky or heavy, and is *the* lippie you can just throw into your bag to use anytime, anywhere - don’t just take our word for it, it’s got countless positive reviews to back us up.

There’s nothing hotter blowing up our Instagram feed right now than the Fwee Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot, and it’s perhaps the most unconventional lippie on this list. The squishy pudding-like texture can be used on both the lips and cheeks, smudging out to give an uber-chic blurred-matted finish that smooths over fine lines. A couple of taps are all you need for this Cocoa Seed Butter and Blue Agave Leaf extract-infused formula to deliver maximum pigmentation.
No. 3
Heart Percent - Dote On Mood Dewy Melting Lipstick

‘Luscious’ is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about the Heart Percent Dote On Mood Dewy Melting Lipstick. With each swatch, the soft melting texture leaves a delectable glaze that catches the light and the eyes of your many admirers who are wondering what you’ve got on your lips. No matter your skin tone or personal color, you’ll find a flattering shade for yourself within the MLBB-coded range.
No. 4

If you’ve kept up with K-beauty since the early days, you’ll definitely be no stranger to the peripera Ink Airy Velvet Tint. Tucked away into the adorable milk bottle-esque tube is a weightless cloud-like matte tint formula that’s thin enough to sheer out for a wash of color, or slather on for a more pigmented punch. It adheres to the lips with an Air Color Sealing Barrier that holds onto pigment and moisture, maintaining its vibrancy and hydration all day.
No. 5

With the Dasique Juicy Dewy Tint, you’re not just getting to enjoy lively shades and radiant shine; you’re also preventing chapped and parched lips with the nutrient-rich oil-infused formula that smooths over lip wrinkles and provides dewy moisture. The vegan and cruelty-free lineup touts a fruit-inspired shade spectrum to give you an awakening pop of glossy color that wears and reapplies evenly.
No. 6
Muzigae Mansion - Moodwear Blur Lipstick

No matter your mood, there’s a shade for you from the Muzigae Mansion Moodwear Blur Lipstick lineup. Matte lipsticks typically get a bad rap for sucking moisture out of the lips, but this formula mixes in Olive Squalane to ensure the lips remain soft and hydrated throughout the day. It’s one of those formulas that you can swipe on, diffuse and blur out without looking into a mirror, knowing it’ll look flawless regardless.
No. 7
eSpoir - Nowear Lipstick Balming Glow

For our lip balm lovers: the eSpoir Nowear Lipstick Balming Glow is just like your favorite nourishing tinted lip treatment, but elevated. Lightweight and refreshing, it’s made to feel airy and comfortable on the lips as a light gel layer extends its weartime. It was specially developed to be smudge-proof and bond to the inner part of the lip where lip products tend to fade the quickest, separating the pigment and gloss layers for a seamless lip look in the long run.
No. 8
Courtesy of Korean Makeup Brand - BBIA
What sets the BBIA Last Powder Lipstick apart from other formulas? For one, it’s as smooth and featherlight as paper so you never feel it caking and drying the lips. The velvet-matte formula features a No Wear Finish that practically makes you forget you’re wearing anything on your lips, expressing the full beauty of each muted hue in a single swipe. The best part? It’s waterproof, making it the perfect beach companion for your vacay this season.
No. 9
ETUDE - Dear Darling Water Tint

VANA Award alert! The ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint is an absolute icon and staple in many makeup routines, propelled to popularity by its versatile formula suitable for use on the entire face. The non-sticky watery tint blends out into a seamless wash of color and stains the skin for all-day wear, promising not to budge or bleed. Vitamins and a Berry Fruit Complex contribute nourishing properties that set it apart from other drying tints.
No. 10
Courtesy of Korean Makeup Brand - Kaja
We’re all heart eyes for the Kaja Heart Melter, a lip gloss stick that melts onto the lips to impart explosive shine, conditioning color and a nourishing kiss, fuelled by Argan and Plum Seed oils. The heart-shaped tip was specifically designed to fit the cupid’s bow for precise application sans lip liner beforehand. Think of this multifaceted formula as a lipstick, lip gloss and lip balm in one, sure to secure a permanent spot in your makeup routine (and heart) one stroke at a time.
