     The Best New Lip Glosses of 2020 Editor Reviews

   Remember back in 2002 when, at any given moment, you had at least four different tubes of sticky, gloppy, blindingly shiny lip gloss nestled in your Dooney & Bourke bag, right next to your T-Mobile Sidekick? That was a tough era to go outside since you'd inevitably wind up with your hair stuck to your lips. 

But now's the time to forget everything you know about lip gloss of the early aughts because the liquid lacquer has literally glowed up a whole lot since then. These modern glosses deliver shine so glossy it's nearly pornographic, with every imaginable finish and level of color pigmentation, plus moisturizing ingredients in a whole new (not to mention less sticky) way, and we're 100 percent here for them. That's not to say we are over some of the original formulas we first fell in love with, like Lancôme's Juicy Tubes, which if you didn't know made a recent comeback.

Bottom line: We're coming at you with the crème de la crème — or gloss de la gloss — so that the next time you're in the market for a new lip gloss, you know exactly the one for you.
