Best Sheer Lipglosses

This year, I decided to split lipgloss into two posts: one for sheerer shades and one for more pigmented shades. I find that how and when I reach for a particular gloss often depends on opacity.  I like sheerer gloss with light to moderate shimmer, so they can work alone as well as layered.  I was pleasantly surprised (and happy!) to see Fenty expand their Gloss Bomb formula this year.  There’s a trend in the formulas that I gravitate to, though, and it’s that they’re plusher and more smoothing on the lips, like ColourPop’s Ultra Glossy Lips formula and Urban Decay’s Hi-Fi Shine formula.

What sheerer lipglosses did you reach for this year?
