But according to a recent survey of more than 500 NewBeauty readers,* one product delivers on all fronts: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer ($22). Available in eight shades, including a high-shine clear option, this cult-favorite formula is packed with shea butter and is free from parabens and phthalates. Here’s why readers from 20 to 70 swear by it.
