5 lip glosses that will bring you right back to your middle school dance

There’s no doubt about it: lip glosses are back in a big way. Those sticky splashes of color from your middle school years have made a huge comeback. Sure, lipstick will always be in style (and an essential part of any respectable makeup collection). But lip glosses have returned to high fashion and hot style, and we’re thrilled.

There’s something fun and relaxed about lip glosses in a way that the more mature and adult-like lipstick just can’t imitate. And the best part is that science has come a long way since your awkward middle school dances, meaning these products last longer and moisturize better than ever before. Plus, your favorite middle-school brands have kept pace, evolving their lip gloss game for the modern age.
