I'm Calling It—This '90s Beauty Product Will Make a Huge Comeback This Summer

Best for: Out-of-this-world shine

Number of shades: 7

I'm a big fan of Fenty Beauty lip products, so I was very excited to hear about the brand's latest launch. This lip gloss is a lip gloss-lip oil hybrid with nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E, shea butter, hyaluronic filling sphere and passionfruit oil. Not only does it feel incredibly hydrating on the lips, but the shine is out of this world. It has this iridescent finish that adds a beautiful sparkly effect, making it a perfect option for dinner or drinks when you want your makeup to make an impact.

As you can see above, just one swipe of this gave my lips a glass-like effect that didn't feel sticky or uncomfortable throughout the day. The hydrating formula was a big plus, but something that really stood out to me was the delicious coconut and vanilla scent. Yep, this is my summer lip gloss of choice.

Best for: A luxury experience

Number of shades: 49

If you're looking for a little bit of luxury, you can't go wrong with this lip gloss from Dior. With a whopping 49 shades on offer, you can also choose from a range of finishes such as holographic or iridescent. Similar to the option above, this formula is infused with lots of hydrating ingredients, including cherry oil and hyaluronic acid to give a smooth, shiny and plumping effect.

The packaging itself is a work of art, and the slim applicator makes this gloss a lot easier to apply compared to other options in this roundup. I love the natural-looking shine that it imparts onto the lips, and taking this product out of my handbag to top up my lip gloss throughout the day always feels like a special experience.

Best for: Affordability

Number of shades: 30

I feel like Kiko makeup isn't spoken about enough, but this brand is seriously good. This lightweight lip gloss glides onto the lips and adds a beautifully shiny finish. It comes encased in a slim tube that is perfect for popping in your handbag, and with 30 shades on offer, there is bound to be something for everyone.

Although it can feel a little sticky when you first apply it, this lip product really does give that 3D effect thanks to the glossy formula. At just £12, I know that I will always have one of these in my handbag for on-the-go touch-ups.

Best for: A plumping effect

Number of shades: 10

New from YSL, the Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss has been designed to deliver eight hours of shine and 24 hours of hydration, alongside a plump, bouncy finish. As the name suggests, this oil-infused formula is super nourishing and features hyaluronic acid, fig pulp, ginger oil and pepper oil.

If you want your lips to look fuller in an instant, this is definitely the gloss to go for. In fact, I don't think I've ever used a plumping lip gloss that works this well. The only downside? This can feel incredibly tingly and somewhat spicy when applied to the lips. The sensation does subside over time, and the results are worth it, but take this as a formal warning that it's not the most comfortable product to apply.

Best for: A hydrating formula

Number of shades: 7

Here at Who What Wear UK, we are huge fans of Vieve makeup, and this product is no exception. Another gloss-oil hybrid, this is one of the most hydrating lip glosses I have tried. The silky soft formula is infused with vitamin E and camellia oil, leaving your lips feeling plump and nourished. Don't be fooled by the hydrating formula, though, as this lip product still delivers on serious shine.

Yep, one swipe of this and my lips are left with a glass-like finish that always earns me so many compliments. If you invest in one new lip product this month, make it this one.

Best for: Everyday wear

Number of shades: 11

Makeup By Mario has created the most perfect lip gloss for everyday wear. This non-sticky formula glides onto the lips and leaves you with a smooth, shiny finish that will complement any makeup look. The custom doe-foot applicator makes this so easy to apply that you'll never want to be without it.

Yep, this is the lip gloss I reach for when I want a reliable formula that will take me from day to night. It ticks every box for me, and although there are only 11 shades on offer, the brand has created a colour for every occasion.

Best for: A subtle plumping effect

Number of shades: 6

This is the first product I have ever tried from Kylie Cosmetics, and I have to say, I am impressed. The plumping formula has been designed to create a fuller, shiny-looking pout. While I didn't think it delivered fully on its plumping properties (this provided a more subtle effect), it definitely added a high-shine finish and felt lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The muted shades are right up my street, and I could see myself reaching for this time and time again when I want to add a little bit of oomph to my makeup.

Best for: An all-in-one gloss

Number of shades: 9

This product from Saie is quite the multitasker. It has been designed to bridge the gap between a lip oil, a gloss and a balm, giving you an all-in-one product that meets all your needs. The formula features nourishing jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid, and my lips definitely felt softer after using this. However, it was the shine that really impressed me.

This gave a reflective, glass-like finish that earned me so many compliments throughout the day, and I was a big fan of all of the shades on offer.

Best for: Fuller lips

Number of shades: 2

Last but by no means least, say hello to the Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm by Charlotte Tilbury. This is the lip gloss I reach for when I want my lips to look fuller (lip filler, who?), and I've already recommended it to all my friends.

It comes in two Pillow Talk shades, 'Fair/Medium' and 'Medium/Deep', and gives the illusion of plump, juicy lips. It's enriched with "Plumpgasm Heat + Ice Technology" to create that plumping effect, alongside hyaluronic acid for a hydrating finish. The packaging is a little bulky, but the pointed applicator makes it easy to apply.
