Is clear lip gloss still "in"?

[stephogirl]

Or will I look like I'm stuck in the 1990s?

I can't wear lipstick. I've tried multiple brands, including some hypoallergenic options, but they make me break out. I do have some allergies, including some to artificial dyes, so I'm guessing the dye in lipsticks is the culprit. 

DH and I are going on vacation this week, and I'd like to step it up from my standard Vaseline (lol) lip coverage, but am not sure what to go with. Can I get away with wearing clear gloss? Or is shiny not "in" right now?

How about a tinted gloss? NYX has some great neutrals--like tiramisu.

And I see plenty of shiny lips. Pinks are really in, so clear gloss goes with that.

I'm wearing a very light shiny gloss today, so I say go for it

I see nothing wrong with clear glosses! I know matte is in, but I still prefer a gloss. Vaseline has some tinted lip products, but if dye is the issue for you they may not work either. Not sure I'd risk a reaction on vacation.

How about lip oils? I just got a Lancome Juicy Shaker to try to change things up a bit. I love it. My lips are just glossy enough, not sticky and the color kind of stains the lips a bit. Maybe that would be an option?

You could definitely do a clear gloss, but if the dye is what trips you up you could try these from 100% pure that use fruit extracts for their pigment. I've eyeballed these for a while but haven't tried them myself...

Gloss is fine! I think the super matte look is on the way out anyways (thankfully).
