I Tried Huda Beauty’s Viral Lip Glosses — Why You Should Too

After months of wearing Huda Beauty’s Faux Filler Lip Gloss collection, I’m ready to declare it the holy grail of lip products. From coffee runs to Zoom meetings, these glosses have become my ride-or-die lip essentials, and today I’m breaking down exactly why they deserve a spot in your makeup bag.

Building an Empire on Innovation

Before diving into my obsession with the Faux Filler lip glosses, let’s talk about Huda Beauty’s impact on the beauty industry. Founded by Huda Kattan, this brand has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged conventional beauty standards. Huda Beauty has been revolutionizing the beauty space with forward-thinking products that speak to diverse beauty needs. Their latest creation, the Faux Filler Gloss, arrives in seven carefully curated shades, including three new additions that dropped just in time for the holiday season as part of their Icy Nude collection. This launch proves once again that Huda Beauty understands what modern makeup enthusiasts want: products that perform flawlessly while celebrating individual beauty.

Luxurious Packaging That Elevates the Experience

The first thing that struck me about the Faux Filler Gloss was the luxurious packaging. The cristal clear tube allows you to see the gorgeous color of the gloss in the middle has slightly rounded edges. At $26 per tube, the quality really shines through. At that price point, these aren’t the most budget-friendly options on the market. However, considering the quality, longevity, and versatility, I’d argue they’re worth every penny.

A detail I absolutely love? The textured sticker seal on the glitter variants. It’s those little touches that make reaching for these glosses feel like a moment of luxury in your day. And can we talk about that precision doe-foot applicator? It’s engineered with a reservoir that holds the perfect amount of product, while the tapered end lets you define your cupid’s bow with the kind of precision usually reserved for lip liners.

The Formula That Changed the Game

Here’s where things get interesting. The formula is packed with lip-loving ingredients like Vitamin E and vegan collagen, but what really sets it apart is how it performs throughout the day. You know that moment when you’re deep in work, sipping on your latte, and suddenly realize your lips still feel moisturized? That’s the Faux Filler magic.

What impressed me most is how it doesn’t settle into fine lines or make my lips feel dry after it wears off – a common issue with many long-lasting formulas. Instead of immediately reaching for my trusty lip balm (which happens all too often with other glosses), my lips still feel nourished even hours later.

Huda Beauty Faux Filler Swatches: Something for Every Mood

Let’s break down my favorites from both the original and Icy Nude collections:

The Icy Nude Faux Filler Swatches

She Fire (Beige-brown with pink sparkles)

• The everyday nude you didn’t know you needed
• Works beautifully without a lip liner
• Perfect for those “no-makeup makeup” days when you still want to look put together
• The shimmer catches the light in the most flattering way

She Glitzy (Sheer pink with pink shimmer)

• The ultimate “that girl” gloss
• Transforms any lip look from great to extraordinary
• Particularly stunning for enhancing pink lip combinations
• The kind of gloss that makes people ask what you’re wearing

She Flirty (muted pink – sheer to medium coverage)

• A softer take on pink that feels sophisticated
• Less pigmented than Sugar Baby but equally versatile
• Perfect for those days when you want your natural lip color to shine through

The Original Collection Standouts

Coco (Rich brown)

• A deep, rich brown – can be a little patchy
• Medium to full coverage that makes a statement
• Pairs perfectly with your favorite brown liner (check out my guide to 8 brown lip glosses for deeper skin tones)

Foxy (Warm brown)

• The peachy-brown nude of your dreams
• Medium to full coverage that somehow works for both day and night
• Unique enough to stand out in a sea of neutral glosses

Glassy (Clear)

• The versatile clear gloss every collection needs
• Perfect for transforming any lip liner into a glossy moment
• The ultimate topper for any lip combination

Real Talk: Performance That Lives Up to the Hype

After trying the entire Fenty Cream Gloss Bomb collection, I thought I’d seen it all in terms of lip gloss innovation. But Huda Beauty brought something different to the table. The staying power is impressive – I can make it through a Grande Mocha Latte at my favorite study spot without completely losing the gloss. For context, that’s saying something.

What really sets these glosses apart is their ability to make lips look naturally fuller without any tingling or discomfort. The formula creates a subtle plumping effect through optical illusion rather than irritation – think smooth, juicy lips that look like you’re naturally blessed with volume.

Why Huda Beauty Faux Filler Glosses Earned Their Spot in My Daily Rotation

After months of wear-testing these glosses through everything from Zoom meetings to dinner dates, I can confidently say they’ve revolutionized my lip game. They strike that perfect balance between luxury and practicality, delivering both the aesthetic appeal and performance we’re all looking for.

What started with trying the Icy Nude collection has evolved into a full-fledged collection of eight shades (including three minis because your girl loves options but also practicality). Each one serves its purpose, from the board room to brunch, and they’ve all earned their keep in my makeup bag.

For those wondering if they live up to the hype – yes, they absolutely do. Whether you’re new to luxury lip products or a seasoned beauty enthusiast, these glosses offer something special. They’re the kind of product that makes you feel put together even on days when your messy bun isn’t exactly intentional.

Final Swatch

If you’re looking for a lip gloss that combines luxury with performance, Huda Beauty’s Faux Filler Gloss collection deserves your attention. With its range of sophisticated nudes, innovative formula, and thoughtful packaging, it’s elevated my daily makeup routine in ways I didn’t expect. Sometimes a beauty product comes along that completely transforms your approach to makeup – this is one of those products.
