lip gloss

Slick mouth sheen

Lip gloss is a cosmetic applied to the lips to give them a shiny, often slightly tinted appearance.

Unlike lipstick, which provides opaque color, gloss emphasizes shine and moisture: She dabbed on some lip gloss before the photo.

Gloss may be clear or lightly colored, sometimes flavored or scented.
