The best clear lip glosses money can buy, according to a lip gloss snob – Yahoo Lifestyle

Through all of the changes in my makeup routine over the years, one product has stood the test of time: clear lip gloss. Why? Clear lip gloss was the first beauty product that I was allowed to wear as a child. Though this product is seemingly basic af, a good clear gloss paired with a lip liner, alone, or on top of a lipstick transforms a beauty look for the better. I’m happy to see that in 2019, more beauty lovers and brands are embracing clear gloss two decades after my initial introduction.

Adding a clear gloss to your makeup arsenal is a game changer; however, all clear glosses aren’t created equally. Many people refrain from gloss because it can sometimes be sticky and uncomfortable. Contrary to belief, there are many clear glosses out there that offer superior shine without the sticky feel. Whether you prefer your lip gloss with a wand or are open to something more innovative, like this one in a jar, there’s a clear lip gloss to match your personality and preferences. I present to you with 16 clear lip gloss options that are approved by a self-proclaimed clear gloss snob (me)—enjoy!
