Detailed Review

Fenty Beauty's Gloss Bomb has earned its cult status as the ultimate universal lip gloss that truly works for everyone. The "Fu$$y" shade is a sheer peach with gold pearl that adapts beautifully to all skin tones, creating a customized glow that enhances your natural lip color rather than masking it.

The formula is where this gloss truly shines - literally. It delivers an explosive, glass-like shine that catches light from every angle, thanks to the light-reflecting pearls suspended in the formula. Unlike many high-shine glosses, this one isn't sticky or tacky. The texture is smooth and cushiony, gliding on effortlessly and feeling comfortable for hours. The shea butter and vitamin E keep lips hydrated and soft, so you're not just getting shine - you're getting nourishment too.

The scent is a delicious peach-vanilla blend that's sweet but not overpowering, and it fades quickly after application. The oversized doe-foot applicator makes precise application easy, coating lips evenly in one swipe. The sleek, weighty packaging feels luxurious and the clear tube lets you see exactly how much product remains.

While the gloss does require reapplication after eating or drinking, the wear time is decent for a non-sticky formula - about 2-3 hours of comfortable wear. At $22, it's on the pricier side for a lip gloss, but the quality, versatility, and universal appeal make it worth the investment. This is the gloss that launched a thousand dupes, and for good reason - it's simply that good. Whether you're a gloss minimalist or maximalist, this belongs in your collection.

How to Use

Apply directly to lips using the doe-foot applicator. Wear alone for a glossy look or layer over lipstick for added dimension. Reapply as desired throughout the day.
