Glo Skin Beauty Conditioning Lip Gloss - Speakeasy

A lip gloss that cares for your lips while you wear it, with enough shine to be seen and without the sticky feeling that keeps most people away from gloss.

Why it works

That stickiness comes from thick, tacky binders used in many glosses to lock in shine. This formula is built more like a balm and derives its nourishing properties from hyaluronic acid and aloe vera. Hyaluronic acid binds moisture in the tissue, making the lips feel fuller from within rather than just looking wetter on the surface. On top of that, it contains an antioxidant complex with vitamins C and E and green tea extract, which protects and soothes the lips.

The texture is balm-like and shiny without being sticky. The color is translucent but still has real pigment, so you can see it: it's not just a colorless layer. It comes with a soft applicator that allows for precise application.

About this shade

Speakeasy is a translucent mahogany: a warm reddish-brown, deep yet transparent. It provides color without the coverage of a lipstick, making a dark shade easier to wear than you might think. Beautiful on medium to deep skin tones.

For whom

For anyone who actually likes wearing gloss but can't stand it when their hair gets stuck in it. Also for those whose lips tend to feel tight in winter or in dry indoor air. And surprisingly, even if you normally only wear matte colors: a layer of this over the top instantly transforms that same color into something else.

How to use it

Apply with the applicator, either on its own or over your lipstick. If you want to make your lips look fuller, dab an extra bit in the center of your bottom lip and blend outwards from the center. That’s where the light hits, and that’s what suggests volume. A common mistake: applying too much at once. A thin layer shines just as brightly as a thick one and lasts longer.

A final word

Gloss is the product people apologize for the most, yet use the most. I regularly hear that it’s too youthful, but that’s not true: it is actually shine that makes more mature lips look fuller, whereas matte accentuates every line. One thing I’ll be honest about: you will need to touch it up. Gloss doesn't last all day—that's impossible with this texture. Expect to reapply after eating and keep it in your bag.
