13 best lip oils for perfecting your pout
Combining the skincare benefits of a balm and the satin look of a gloss, lip oils are the new hero formula for solving all your lip care woes in one. Lauded by those in the know, the #lipoil hashtag on TikTok has more than 3.2 billion views, with users praising these hardworking oils for softening and protecting, particularly during the colder months (say goodbye to chapped lips).
Blurring the lines between skincare and make-up, lip oils rival your go-to gloss or lip stain for adding a gorgeous sheen to your pout à la the classic shiny Nineties lip (officially back in vogue).
A central component of TikTok’s “clean girl” beauty trend, Dior’s addict lip oil sold out everywhere last year while NYX’s fat lip oil went viral as a budget alternative. Now, brands from Gisou and Rare Beauty to Elf, Bobbi Brown and Kosas have leaned into the lazy girl approach to lip care with their own hybrid oils.
Formulated with nourishing oils (think jojoba, avocado and argan) and powered by skin-loving ingredients like , vitamin E and or a pigmented product that adds a pink or red tint, there’s a formula for every taste.
