9 Glitter Lipsticks That'll Make Your Lips Shine

From liquid lipsticks to pout enhancers, lips have been the most talked about part of the face for quite some time. So, what's the best thing to do when something's getting a lot of attention? Throw glitter on it, of course. Finding glitter lipsticks is often harder than it sounds, though, especially since most glitter lip tutorials will often use loose glitter that is then set on the lip — a trying task I've indulged in previously. But have no fear: Glitter lipsticks exist both in liquid and solid form, so get ready to find the perfect lippie for your sparkle needs.

The best sparky lipsticks I have scouted out come in all different kinds of glitter: From metallic, to a little shiny, to a whole load of shimmer, these lipsticks can take you from casual adoration of sparkle to perfectly pigmented and party-ready. Either way, you should be totally set. In an era of metallic mattes and a growing appreciation of all things kitsch, there are few better things than a sparkly mouth.

Some of these products are well known, extensively written about, and adored; some are created by independent brands, but deserve some limelight; and some are just sorely underrated. But if you're looking for a particularly glittery shade, they'll all have you covered.
