The Best Lip Oils to Try Now

NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip

This lip oil has been all over TikTok, and for good reason. It comes in seven sheer, juicy shades (plus a clear version) that drench your lips in shine. Bonus: The vegan and cruelty-free formula has a plush, luxurious feel that hydrates for up to 12 hours. 

iNNBEAUTY Project Glaze Lip Oil

These fruit-scented lip oils soothe chapped lips and provide a shiny pop of color. We love #9 Merlot, a rich wine shade, and #1 Candy Apple, a translucent rosy hue. Each lip oil is made with a moisturizing blend of ingredients including red root and jojoba oil, apple extract and a plant-based plumping complex.

Kosas Wet Oil Plumping Treatment Gloss

Visibly plump and add shine with this oil-gloss hybrid from Kosas. It gives lips a bouncy, hydrated appearance, thanks to hyaluronic acid, peptides and evening primrose oil. If you’re looking for a more pigmented tint in your lip oil, this one is a great pick.

MERIT Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil

This lip oil is all about nourishing your lips. It’s infused with rosehip, jojoba and grapeseed oils, plus shea butter and omega fatty acids that leave lips soft and flake-free. You can find it in seven your-lips-but-better shades in addition to a clear shade. 

ILIA Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil

Available in six sheer neutral tints, this is the perfect swipe-on-and-go kind of lip product. It’s hydrating, non-sticky and subtly plumping due to hyaluronic acid in the formula. 

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil

Add a touch of color, moisture and shine to your lips with these conditioning tinted lip oils. We especially like the pH-adapting shades, which adjust to your perfect pink, coral, red or berry lip color.
