Maybelline Baby Lips (Rs 150)
One of the most affordable balms on this list, Maybelline’s Baby Lips is perfect for college girls.It’s fruity, colourful and quite light on the pocket. Girls also have the option of choosing from a wide variety of flavours that range from frothy pinks to deep reds. If you’re a beginner and is just experimenting with gloss, you should probably start off with this range. While it doesn’t offer a long lasting glossy effect, it’s quite an affordable glossy to try out.

Faces Go Chic (Rs 249)
It’s a tad costlier than Baby Lips, but a lot better. It will give your lips the right shine, without robbing it off its essential moisturiser. It also comes in a variety of flavours from nude, baby pinks to oranges. You have to reapply it every two hours to keep the shine on, but it’s ideal for impromptu dates, after-work drinks and lazy lunches. Try the one in coral, it’s quite dazzling and very ‘in’.

The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lipcare Stick (Rs 350)
We are rooting of this product because it’s made of natural ingredients and is quite light on the lips. The mild fragrance, coupled with the goodness of cocoa butter is an amazing combination for a gloss. It might not be very shiny as it’s more of a chapstick than gloss, but it does even out your lip colour. If you are specifically looking for colour, you should pick something else from the list. But if you prefer nude lips with just a hint of shine, this one is the best.

Colourbar True Gloss (Rs 550)
It’s definitely on the costlier side, but has the most intense colour of the lot. Apply it before heading out in the morning and it stays till lunch. No kidding! The lustrous shine also helps plump up your lips and add dimensions to your pout. In fact, you can use it instead of lipstick and it will work just fine. Dab on a little petroleum jelly before applying this, as it can tend to get a bit dry after a couple of hours.

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm (Rs 800- Rs 1100)
It’s not affordable, we know. But it’s one of the best. It not only adds colour and plumpness to your lips, but also nourishes and hydrates them. The deep colour and rich vitamins help in making your lips pinker than they are. It also boasts of sunscreen and natural oils. It’s not easily available in India, you might have to ship it over from the overseas. But if you do find it here, please do buy it. You won’t regret this purchase! (And no, Burt’s Bee haven’t paid me to say this!)

As always, while choosing a gloss, opt for the one that compliments your lips. That is, if you have dry lips, go for moisture/hydra-based gloss, while those with discoloration should go for intense colours.
