Lip gloss is a cosmetic product used primarily by teenage girls and women to give the lips shine and subtle color. Lip gloss is distributed as a viscous liquid or a soft solid. It can be transluscent (clear lip gloss can be layered over regular lipstick for extra shine) or various shades of opacity, including frosted, glittery and metallic looks. Also, lip gloss can have a variety of pink red or brown tints.
