Lip gloss

Lip gloss for every style and occasion

Lip gloss is an easy way to add colour, shine and a glossy finish to your lips. Choose a clear gloss for a natural everyday look, a pigmented shade to enhance your lips or a shimmery lip gloss when you want to create a more festive makeup look.

Which lip gloss should you choose?

The best choice depends on the result you want to achieve. Consider how much colour and shine you prefer, how you want the product to feel on your lips and whether you’re looking for a gloss for everyday wear or a more expressive option for a special occasion.

• For a natural look: Choose a clear lip gloss or a shade that closely matches your natural lip colour.
• For more colour: A pigmented gloss combines lip colour with a glossy finish.
• For extra shine: Try a lip gloss with shimmer or glitter.
• For a fuller-looking effect: Choose a plumping lip gloss designed to give your lips a more defined look.
• For dry lips: Look for a soft and moisturising formula or layer your gloss over lip balm.

Different types of lip gloss

Clear lip gloss

A clear gloss is ideal when you want shine without noticeable colour. It can be worn on its own, with lip liner or over lipstick. As it doesn’t significantly change the colour of your lips, it’s a versatile option that works with many different makeup looks.

Tinted lip gloss

A tinted lip gloss adds both colour and shine. Sheer shades create a subtle result, while more pigmented colours can become a statement part of your makeup. Pink, red, coral and neutral shades make it easy to adapt your look to both the occasion and your personal style.

Shimmer or glitter lip gloss

Shimmer and glitter lip glosses reflect the light and create a more eye-catching finish. They can be applied all over the lips or concentrated on the centre of the upper and lower lips for an extra glossy effect.

Plumping lip gloss

A plumping lip gloss is an option if you want to give your lips a fuller and more defined look. Always check the product description for information about the formula, how to use it and the expected result.

Lip oil

A lip oil combines shine with a soft and caring feel. At Lindex, you’ll also find hybrid products that combine the benefits of lip gloss, lip oil and lip balm.

How to apply lip gloss

Start with clean and smooth lips. If your lips feel dry, apply a thin layer of lip balm and allow it to absorb before applying your gloss.

Then apply a thin, even layer from the centre of your lips outwards. For a subtle everyday look, one layer is often enough. If you want more colour or shine, build up the result with several thin layers.

How to make your lip gloss last longer

Lip gloss usually needs to be reapplied throughout the day, but a few simple steps can help you maintain an even finish:

• Define the contours of your lips with lip liner.
• Apply the liner over more of your lips if you want to create a coloured base.
• Apply several thin layers instead of one thick layer.
• Concentrate more gloss on the centre of your lips for a glossy, dimensional finish.
• Keep your gloss with you so you can easily reapply after eating and drinking.

Lip gloss over lipstick

Lip gloss can be applied over lipstick to change its finish. A clear gloss preserves the colour of your lipstick while adding shine, while a tinted or shimmery gloss can give the shade a new look.

To keep the applicator clean, apply a little gloss to a clean finger or lip brush and gently dab it over your lipstick.
