Matte Lipstick Is Over, According To 2024 Runways - Switch Back To The Glossy Lips Trend

While there's something understated and captivating about matte lipstick, nothing can quite compare to the glistening shine of a youthful glossy lip. With just as strong a shimmer as ever, glossy lips have returned to bring a glowing warmth to both your dramatic and clean makeup looks. Anyone who thrives with a versatile lip product that doesn't usually require a mirror for application will likely welcome the lip trend shift. "It's all about glazed lips at the moment, a trend we predicted would be big this year for a few reasons ... Firstly, in fashion and beauty, much of what we see in styling is driven by Nineties and Noughties nostalgia with a contemporary twist," Lisa Payne, head of beauty at trend forecasting specialists Stylus, told Harper's Bazaar. "Secondly, where matte has been the lip texture of choice on the runways and in new product development for so many years, the contrast of juicy, dewy, and glossy lips is refreshing and youthful."

You might associate a glossy lip with the endless days of summer, but the trend can be worn year-round for an effortlessly cool, glimmering vibe. High-shine glosses and nourishing lip oils that bring shine without stickiness are now leading the way, according to 2024 runways. So, how do you nail the look?

There's nothing quite like a bubblegum pink lip gloss to completely transform and amp up a clean, barely-there makeup look. A high-shine gloss is the flirty, feminine counterpart to the easy-breezy no-makeup makeup trend and could easily become your go-to for coffee dates and errand running. Try Saie's Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil in Play ($22) for the perfect pink pout.

A sweet rose pink is the perfect, versatile shade to complement your done-up looks and more relaxed styles. The glistening gloss draws in all the attention and gives us major Y2K vibes –- a trend that doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Apply a moisturizing balm underneath if your gloss isn't sitting quite right.

Softly lining your lips before applying your high-shine gloss is a look that can't be beaten right now. Opt for a clear or neutral gloss so your lip liner shows through. This combo makes for a truly enviable pout and gives the illusion of a fuller lip. This vibe is ideal when you aren't in the mood to go for a full-coverage lipstick.

There's something effortlessly classic about a soft glossed lip to complement an elegant, flirty outfit. Try styling your dewey lips with a subtle, creamy eyeshadow. We love this '90s-style gloss to bring just the right amount of allure. The lighter hues of pink and mauve are excellent choices for a gloss that'll pair well with just about anything.

Opting for a coy gloss doesn't mean skipping out on impact and drama. A bright, cherry red lip gloss is the powerful hue that takes this trend up a notch. You may need a mirror for applications with more pigmented glosses like this one, but the gain is well worth the effort. Try Glossier's Lip Gloss in Red for a perfectly primed red pout.

Without a golden bronze, no list of Y2K glossy lip trends would be complete. The glittering hue of deep amber instantly transports us back to the early aughts. This warmer tone is well-suited to be paired with a peachy blush. A fun choice for the autumn months, a glossy bronze will be just the mood-boost you're after.
