Brown lip gloss is big news for winter – here’s the best ones to try

This plumping gloss offers buildable colour payoff, making it a versatile choice for layering with lipstick or wearing on its own, and is formulated with moisturising collagen for impactful hydration and fullness. The chubby yet precise applicator allows the gloss to glide on effortlessly and deposits a multidimensional, reflective wash of colour and shine. Probably the truest brown-toned pick of the bunch in this edit, this makes lips looks extra juicy and feels so nourishing.

This pick is more of an oil than a gloss, and it’s packed with skin-loving ingredients like squalane, apricot, avocado, jojoba, and pomegranate oils to keep your lips hydrated and nourished. The shade Honey Talks is a gorgeous, deep brown that’ll definitely turn heads. I always carry an e.l.f. Lip Oil with me - it’s my go-to for both a quick lip balm fix and a glossy touch-up when I’m on the go.

This plumping gloss is perfect for layering over your favourite lipstick or rocking solo. It stays put, no slipping or sliding around. Thanks to avocado oil and vitamin E, it keeps your lips smooth and soft. While all glosses can make your lips look fuller, this one really takes it up a notch with plumping ingredients that give them a little extra volume - no guesswork, it's scientifically proven!

It might look a bit red-toned in the tube, but once it's on, this gloss delivers the perfect subtle brown with a sleek, glass-like finish. Infused with vitamin E, it keeps your lips feeling soft and moisturised. This gloss is definitely one to keep in your bag—you never know when you'll need that little pop of drama.

Summer Fridays’ silky formula combines the best of both lip balm and gloss - it hydrates and soothes while giving your lips a sheer, flattering wash of colour. I found Hot Cocoa to be the perfect soft brown, while Brown Sugar offers a bit more pigment. The formula is packed with nourishing shea and murumuru seed butters, and I love how non-sticky it feels - instantly hydrating even the driest lips. It's the perfect everyday gloss to toss in your bag and reapply whenever you need a quick pick-me-up.

Made by Mitchell's lip glosses are just as good as their they are with their beloved Blursh Liquid Blusher. This gloss is non-sticky, applies smoothly with the precision applicator, and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for layering over lipstick. The high-gloss finish gives lips a juicy, flattering tint that’s buildable. I’m obsessed with the On The Faux shade for a shimmery dark brown lip, while Moodswings gives a more opaque, rich brown look. Either way, it’s a total game-changer for your lip lineup!

These bestselling glosses glide on like silk and give your lips a seriously addictive shine. The formula is packed with conditioning shea butter, so it keeps your lips hydrated and nourished. What’s even better? It's surprisingly long-lasting - pair it with a lip pencil, and you can rock this gloss all day without having to worry about touch-ups.
