My Lip Gloss is Poppin’

I don’t know about you, but I cannot live without lip gloss. Whether I’m going for a full glam, soft glam, or even natural look, lip gloss is essential and is key in my everyday beauty routine. It is easy to say I may have a slight addiction to lip gloss, but who wouldn’t like for their lips to appear luscious, moisturized, and plump. Being the lip gloss connoisseur I am, it is safe to say that I have tested out a lot of different lip glosses. However, I have yet to find a lip gloss that is long-lasting and continues to shine throughout the day without transferring. 

As a Black woman, it is often difficult for us to find the best gloss shade that best suits our skin tone. Nobody wants a lip gloss that gives them a pale, ashy look. Aside from using the standard clear gloss, we look to incorporate a pop of color and shine on our lips to further elevate our look. Though there were many different glosses in the market, it seems as though many of them were the standard pink, nude shades, which are oftentimes too light for our skin tone. Thankfully, back in 2017, our girl Rihanna launched FENTY BEAUTY, in which she introduced an array of products, including the best-of-the-best lip glosses that best cater to our melanated skin tones. Since its initial launch, FENTY BEAUTY has expanded upon its gloss shade range and has even dropped new lines of lip gloss collections tailored specifically to helping you achieve different glossy looks. 

Though I am a little biased because I love Rihanna, I wholeheartedly believe that FENTY BEAUTY has the best lip glosses in the market today. It is almost impossible for me to pick my favorite gloss of the collections because they all work so well for the different looks I hope to achieve. For instance, if I want to go for a more natural, minimal makeup look, I stick with the original, old reliable gloss bombs. If I want to achieve a nice soft glam look, I would use the Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer + Plumper, and if I wanted to achieve a full glam look, I would use the Gloss Bomb Cream Color Drip Lip Cream. Not to mention the shade range of the lip glosses within FENTY BEAUTY’s  gloss portfolio  is truly impressive. Ranging from neutral pinks to deep browns, each gloss ensures to cater to a wide range of shades and skin tones in efforts to best complement their skin tone. In need of discovering which shades of lip gloss best compliment your beautiful, melanated skin? Keep reading to see which FENTY BEAUTY glosses best cater to your skin tone.
