We’ve all heard enough about the Y2K fashion comeback, but let’s talk about its impact on the beauty world. While denim skirts and stacked charm bracelets are making their return, we’re more excited about lip glosses—one of the most iconic beauty products of the 00s—making a major comeback. This time, they’re infused with skin-loving ingredients and long-lasting formulas, plus a range of gorgeous tints that plump and nourish lips for a fuller, more supple look.
If you’re planning a beauty refresh before the new year, lip glosses and lip oils are the perfect place to start. We spoke to Tanvi Marathe, celebrity and bridal makeup artist, who shared her expert tips on shopping for these cult-favourite products to achieve that coveted all-day shine. "First, decide on the finish you want—sheer, high-shine, shimmer or tinted. Then, look for a non-sticky formula that feels comfortable on the lips. Finally, opt for glosses with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or vitamin E."
Marathe also shared her top picks for lip glosses and oils, and don’t worry—we’re not gatekeeping. Scroll down to discover the products she swears by for keeping her clients’ pouts picture-perfect, no matter the occasion.
