It's your pout's time to shine.

Lip glosses have come a long way since the gritty, glue-like formulas of the past. Gone are the days of ones that cling to your stray hairs, wear off almost instantly, and dry out your pout. Today's offerings contain a slew of skin-loving ingredients (hello, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E!) that keep your pucker silky-smooth for hours on end and deliver a mega-watt finish that's so shiny, you might need sunglasses. Some are even touted for their lip-plumping abilities that give your kisser a fuller-looking appearance without the gloopy feel. So, basically what we're trying to tell you is forget everything you ever knew about lip glosses because the modern lippies are the real deal. Ahead, we rounded up the best lip glosses on the market that you'll want to put on again and again.

Leave it to Rihanna to come out with a shimmery lip gloss that is neither sticky, drying, or gritty. The fan-favorite tops are list because it delivers that coveted glassy finish in a range of six skin-flattering shades. Oh, and the scent, it's intoxicating.

Dior's plumping gloss is a cult-classic for a reason—no actually, many reasons. It boosts your kisser and feels minty fresh on; it's formulated with hyaluronic acid, a powerhouse ingredient known for its ability to maintain moisture; and it provides a mirror-like finish that never sticky, always glossy.

If you're willing to splurge on a lip gloss, then do so on this Chanel one. A trifecta of coconut oil, peptides, and vitamin E—along with a special complex of nourishing waxes—provides maximum comfort and moisture with a highly-saturated finish.

Behold, a drugstore pick that checks all the boxes. At less than $10, this Maybelline must-have with hyaluronic acid works in overdrive to drench lips with color and provide next-level shine.

Tower 28's offering has it all: the hydrating properties of a lip balm, the lustrous shine of a lip gloss, and the stunning color of a lipstick all packed into one, sleek tube. Plus, it's vegan and infused with good-for-lips oils, such as rosehip oil and apricot kernel oil.

Most lip glosses often require a couple of layers to reach your desired opacity, but not this one. In just a single swipe, the YSL option delivers a stain-like color with a high-shine finish that you can count on to last all day.

When in doubt, go back to the classics. Lancôme's O.G. Juicy Tube has been around for years and does the trick at providing a pretty, plump-looking pout.

For those craving a bit of shimmer without the grit, you're in for a treat. This lip gloss is nothing like the ones you might be used to; it has a super-smooth formula that glides onto lips seamlessly and adds a dose of non-sticky shine to your smacker.

When a glassy sheen is all you're after, keep this clear guy on hand. It's got incredible staying power and keeps your lips pillowy soft with jojoba oil and vitamin E. Plus, it comes in three other subtle hues for when you want a little something-something on.

This lip gloss is no where near as thick and gloopy as past versions. Also, shoutout to olive squalane, jojoba seed oil, and rosehip fruit oil for the nourishing benefits it provides.

Clé de Peau has been an editor-favorite beauty brand for quite some time, and this oil-infused lip gloss is an incredibly popular pick. It comes in seven skin-flattering finishes that plumps, provides long-lasting moisture, and delivers a sheer wash of vivid color that stays put wherever your day takes you.

You can't ask for much more than a lightweight lipgloss that nourishes with the help of organic oils and delivers radiant color with a semi-sheer, non-sticky shine.

Sure, this one is a splurge, but it's totally worth it. Just one swipe of the luxurious liquid treats your pout to a powerful punch of hydration and color-saturated gleam.

Pro tip: this buttery gloss is an affordable option (you can't beat that $5 price tag) that will never disappoint.

Anything with the words "lip bath" in its name, count us in. Enriched with skin-friendly ingredients like marine collagen, this lip gloss enhances the volume of lips, while providing an oh-so-perfect wash of color and luster. Also notable: the adorable heart-shaped applicator that perfectly hugs the curves of your pout.
