Makeup Artists Are Actually Obsessed With This Lip Oil
Chapped, dry lips are always the enemy. If you're constantly swiping on lip balm or gloss to keep them hydrated, you're probably struggling to get the moisture you want while also attaining the look of a lip gloss. That's where a hydrating, shine-inducing lip oil comes in.
"Lip oils provide hydration while adding some shine to lips. They look like a gloss but protect and treat like a balm!" says celebrity makeup artist Sarah Tanno (Lady Gaga *cough cough*). Celebrity makeup artist Emily Gray echoes the fact that lip oils are especially great for people who have drier lips. She loves that they look good, too. "Lip oils have the same effect that glosses do—the lips are left looking shiny and radiant," she says.
Since lips oils are a great combination of lip balm, lipstick, and gloss, they're a no-brainer for everyday wear. There are simply three things that Gray looks for in a lip oil, and all of the options below tick every box: color options, lasting power, and how comfortable they are on the lips.
See below for 15 expert-approved lip oils to add shine, color, hydration to dry lips.
