Best New Lip Glosses To Try This Summer

The Glosses That Do More This Summer

As summer approaches, it’s time to swap heavy formulas for something lighter, glossier, and full of care. A good lip gloss now does more than just shine—it hydrates, smooths, and leaves lips looking fuller, with just the right hint of colour. Whether you’re after a sheer wash or a high-shine finish, these new glosses deliver the comfort of skincare with the glamour of makeup. Below, our edit of the best new lip gloss launches to see you through the season—hydrated, plump, and perfectly polished.

Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter

This buttery gloss-balm from Dior is as nourishing as it is chic. With a soft, cushiony texture, it melts into the lips to deliver both care and colour. Enriched with peptides and ceramides, it helps maintain hydration while smoothing the lips’ surface—leaving them fuller and healthier-looking. It comes in a range of wearable shades, from sheer shimmer to deep berry, and doubles as an overnight mask for extra moisture.

Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum

A glossy serum with skincare benefits, this Laneige favourite combines a high-shine finish with deep, lasting hydration. Lightweight yet nourishing, the formula is made with a 95% skincare base that leaves lips looking smoother and more plump. What we love most is its applicator. It’s soft and donut-shaped that allows the formula to glide on effortlessly for even, comfortable wear.

YSL Beauty Loveshine Plumping Lip Gloss Oil

Equal parts shine and skincare, YSL’s newest gloss oil delivers a bold, glassy finish with a subtle plumping effect. The formula is infused with a blend of hyaluronic acid, fig extract, and spice oils to boost volume and keep lips feeling soft all day. It’s a sensorial experience too—slick, smooth and ever so slightly tingly, but in the best way.

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze

Designed to be four products in one, this clever formula works as a gloss, balm, plumper and lip oil. It hydrates and softens thanks to prickly pear oil and vegan collagen, while a custom blend of peptides helps enhance volume over time—without the usual sting. The finish is dewy and full, and with continued use, lips feel more supple and conditioned.

Shades like Black Honey and Pink Honey adapt naturally to your tone, making this a smart, minimal addition to any summer routine.
