If you’d asked me a year ago if I’d ever wear blue lip gloss, I probably would’ve laughed. It seemed like such a bold and out-there choice, far from my go-to nudes and pinks. But after trying a sheer blue gloss on a whim at a makeup counter, I was hooked. That tiny hint of cool-toned shine did wonders for brightening my complexion and making my lips pop. Over time, I started experimenting with different shades, from icy shimmers to bold, glittery blues. Now, blue lip gloss has become a staple in my makeup collection, adding a fun, playful twist to my everyday looks.
Here are some of my favorite blue glosses that helped me fall in love with this unique and versatile trend.
