How to Wear Eye Gloss and Shop Our Top 5 Eye Glosses

Eye gloss. Lid lacquer. You may or may not have heard of it, but let us assure you that it is very much a thing, and it happens to be having a very shiny moment (ahem, Kate Bosworth rocked it while in Sydney!). Many makeup artists attribute glossy eyelids as the secret finishing touch on photo shoots, and while they normally use professional methods and techniques with rescue balms, there's also a range of gloss products specifically developed for the eyes that will give you that same dewy finish, minus the sticky feeling. Our pro tip? Apply to the lid only, not the crease. Or, for a more low-key look, apply only to the outer corners of the eyes. We love the look best with matte skin and matte lipstick, along with lashings of mascara. So simple, but oh so effective. Get your shine on with our top five.
