The Best Lip Glosses for Mature Lips

Lip gloss has undergone a major transformation—one that’s especially flattering for mature lips. Gone are the days of ultra-shiny, super-sticky formulas that felt uncomfortable and left lips dry. Today’s glosses are sleek, hydrating and rich in pigment, offering just the right amount of slip for a smooth, non-sticky finish. The result: a wide array of lip glosses perfectly suited for mature lips.

What Do Mature Lips Need in a Lip Gloss?

While lip gloss is traditionally geared towards younger consumers, mature lips deserve a great gloss too! And what separates the best from the just okay comes down to formula. Aging skin is more prone to dryness, so hydration is a critical factor in a lip gloss for mature lips. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid deliver that hydration in spades, and nourishing moisturizers like shea butter and jojoba oil keep lips kissably soft for a comfy wear that won’t dry you out.
