Dior Addict Lip Maximizer, $50

1/6

The cool sensation you feel when you swipe the gloss on is from the menthol derivative, which plumps lips. That + the high-shine formula = a winner for juicy, healthy-looking lips. 

Kanebo Liquid Nuance Rouge, $46

2/6

This has micro glitter flecks in its formula to create a multidimensional sheen on the lips. 

NYX Professional Makeup Candy Slick Glowy Lip Colour Lip Gloss, $18

3/6

Super pigmented, and has a texture that's a cross between a mousse and a gel. It gives lips a subtle glow. 

Pat McGrath Lust: Gloss, $44

4/6

This gloss spreads so evenly on the lips that little finessing is needed to turn our pout into a mirrored surface. The gloss, well, glosses over fine lines and dry patches too - hiding them from sight.

By Terry Lip Expert Shine, $55

5/6

So lightweight this gloss is, it quite literally feels like nothing on the lips. Until the compliments start rolling in, that is.

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, $31

6/6

One of our favourite ways to wear this high-shine gloss is to lightly dab it onto the middle of the lips for a plump and glowing pout.
