Question:
I love the look of lip gloss, but I can’t find one that’s not too sticky. I wind up peeling strands of hair off my lips all day. Any suggestions?
Answer:
We’re lip-gloss junkies, too. Luckily, we’ve found some that have little or no stick. Look for glosses with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E, cocoa butter, or almond oil. “These will penetrate your lips rather than just sit on them, collecting hair,” says Jillian Jacobson, makeup artist and founder of Jillicious Cosmetics. Some packages even tout their non-tacky formulas, so look for that, too. A few of our favorites:
1. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Vitamin E Lip Gloss ($5.65) is plenty shiny. But with 100 percent pure cocoa butter, it’s glop-free.
2. American Beauty Pretty Glossy Luscious Lipshine ($12.50) has lycopene, which is both a conditioner and an antioxidant. Flavors like Cherry Soda and Strawberry Pop smell yummy, too.
3. H2O Plus Lip Satin ($14) has moisture-rich marine algae, orchid extract, and vitamin E. Plus, we like that it’s hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.
4. Too Faced Fat Kiss ($18.50) uses almond oil, grapeseed, and green tea to keep the formula smooth. And cinnamon and clove plump lips (you’ll feel it tingle).
