I don’t consider myself to be a glossy lip person – unless I’m wearing nude lip colors. This is because in my humble opinion, matte nude colors can make one look unhealthy. I prefer to leave matte lips to rich and vibrant colors such as red, orange, and deep burgundy.

Sometimes, however, I want to wear a lip product that is nourishing, easy to apply and without a lot of color but still have a little shine. I don’t necessarily want to wear a clear gloss but I don’t want to wear Carmex either (no shade). So what is the solution? A lip oil.

What Exactly Is A Lip Oil?

Lip oils can be considered the love child of a lip gloss, balm and treatment and are intended to give shine and nourishing benefits to the lips. Although not a new concept, there has been an influx of lip oils that are becoming very popular in the beauty space and more brands, from mass market to prestige, are hopping on the lip oil train. Lip oils contain ingredients such as shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E that will help to soothe, smooth, repair and give lips a nice shine. Lip oils come in clear and sheer color options without the stickiness and sometimes drying nature of lip gloss and can be worn alone or with your favorite lip color. Lip oils are perfect if you’ve been on the hunt for some time for a lip product that doesn’t leave your lips rusty and crusty and worse off than before you applied it.
