Best Lip Gloss Dupes
Non-sticky, shimmery lip glosses that rival luxury options from Fenty Beauty, Pat McGrath, and more. Lip gloss has made a major comeback, and the drugstore category has kept pace—many affordable glosses now match the shine, comfort, and shade accuracy of their luxury counterparts. We test for stickiness, shimmer payoff, and wear time so you can glow for less.
Tips
- Apply gloss over lip liner for longer-lasting color and definition.
- Non-sticky formulas (like NYX Butter Gloss) feel comfortable for all-day wear.
- Layer a sheer gloss over lipstick for a glossy twist on any look.
- Choose shades with fine shimmer for a Fenty Gloss Bomb-like effect.
