Lip toppers are an easy and inexpensive way to take your look from drab to fab. They come in a variety of colors from clear, nudes, pinky nudes and even metallics. Some of my favorites are Essence Shine Shine Shine Lip Gloss and Elf Cosmetics Lip Lacquer.

They can be worn on their own or can be put over your favorite lipstick. They are the equivalent of a top coat for your nail polish. What a nail polish top coat does is provide that mega shine and transforms it from a flat matte to a shiny finish. It’s the same concept when you relate it to a topcoat for your lipstick.

Top coats for your lipstick are not new to the beauty industry but they have certainly been gaining a lot of traction when it comes to sprucing up your lipstick game.

Lip toppers, like lip glosses, are made to give depth and dimension as it reflects light and adds sparkle.
