For as long as I can remember, I’ve always preferred lip gloss over lipstick. As a little girl, lip gloss always made me feel the prettiest, and now, as a 24-year-old, I’ve stayed true to it. One of my all-time favorites is the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb, but I like to save it for special occasions, so I’ve been on the hunt for something I can reach for every day. Fortunately, I found just the thing: Tarte’s Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump ($24).
As someone with naturally full lips, I was a bit hesitant to try a lip-plumping product, but I just couldn’t resist the temptation of trying a new gloss. Just minutes after swiping on the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Keep reading for my full review of the cult-favorite lip plumper.

What I Like About the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump
One of my favorite things about this lip gloss is how subtle the shiny finish is, and yet, it makes your lips look so juicy. Some glosses can be too shiny or sticky, but the Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump gives you a nice glassy sheen with just one click. I used the shade Peach Shimmer Glass, which effortlessly highlighted my natural lip color and complemented my go-to natural-makeup look. Its rich formula consists of maracujá to brighten and plump the lips, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for hydration, and a super-fruit complex to nourish the skin. Even after hours of wear, the shine was still fresh and the formula didn’t leave behind any sticky residue.
How to Use the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump
The Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump is one of the easiest lip glosses I’ve ever used. It comes in an all-in-one stick applicator that allows you to apply the pigment without a brush or wand. I applied two swipes of the gloss on my bare lips, then followed up with a small touch of my favorite liner to add some definition. Depending on your gloss preference, you can click the pen a few times to apply a thicker layer of product.
What to Consider Before Trying the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump
