The Best Holographic Lip Glosses That Actually Feel Wearable

It's no secret that the holographic craze has been everywhere lately. Though completely enchanting to look at, we initially doubted the trend's staying power—but as it turns out, it's been a couple of years, and if sizzling trend forecasts, makeup tutorials, and sky-high Google searches count for anything, holographic is here to stay.

That being said, some holographic makeup products are more wearable than others, and lip glosses are one such example. And since we're tiring of our oxblood mattes and signature nudes, what better time to huddle up 10 of the best holographic lip glosses our *admittedly jaded* cones and retinas have ever laid eyes on?

BareMinerals Moxie Plumping Lip Gloss $18

Shop

As if the pretty holographic cast to this glittering gloss wasn't enough to draw you in, the formula also features peppermint, lip plumpers, and a nourishing blend of avocado, shea, and murumuru butters to lock in hydration.

Winky Lux Glossy Boss in Unicorn Tears $16

Shop

For a super-shiny wash of gloss that would make even a unicorn jealous, Winky Lux's whimsical blend of vitamin E and food-grade vanilla gets the job done in a deft, delicious manner. Think of it as your '90s Lip Smacker obsession revisited. (Just more mature.) For the best holographic finish, we're partial to the Unicorn Tears shade, but for a more subtle iridescence, Birthday Cake is equally mesmerizing.

Huda Beauty Lip Strobe in Ritzy $18

Shop

Available in 12 different shades, Huda Beauty's beloved Lip Strobe gives you the option of a different holographic lip gloss for each day of the week—and then some. The collection ranges in pigment and coverage, so feel free to layer and experiment with complete abandon.

Kevyn Aucoin Molten Liquid Lipstick $30

Milk Makeup Holographic Lip Gloss in Supernova $12 $12

This "iridescent lavender" holographic lip gloss is a Byrdie HQ favorite and we don't expect it to ever fall from grace. Plus, it also happens to do superb things for your lip health (and allure), as it's chock-full of luscious ingredients like meteorite powder, twilight pearls, avocado oil, coconut oil, and mango butter.

Bite Beauty Prismatic Pearl Crème Lip Gloss in Peacock Pearl $24

Shop

What's great about the holographic trend (especially the best lip glosses) is that you can really customize the look to work with the aesthetic you're going for. And if you happen to be in the market for super-high drama, this peacock-inspired pick from Bite is the chosen one. Swipe it on top of your favorite dark lipstick for an intoxicating prismatic finish.

NYX Duo Chromatic Lip Gloss in Booming $8

Thanks to its pretty pink hue, this holographic lip gloss from NYX is a touch more subtle but still fits the bill where eye-catching pearlescent finishes are concerned. Plus, it never feels sticky post-application.

KKW Beauty Ultralight Beams Duo $32

If you want to channel your inner Kardashian and rock a shimmering holographic lip simultaneously, Kim did you the ultimate favor when she launched five highlighting powders and corresponding iridescent lip glosses. Since they're all relatively neutral in tone, they're supremely wearable but also satisfyingly light-catching.
