These are the best lip oils that we've tried and tested
Lip oils have become the must-have beauty product of the moment. Combining the nourishing benefits of a balm with the gloss of a lipstick, they deliver hydration, comfort, and a subtle wash of colour in one sleek swipe.
From Dior’s Lip Glow Oil to the wildly popular Clarins Lip Comfort Oil, lip oils have become the modern lip essential. Think of them as the gloss-balm-serum hybrid your lips have been waiting for—delivering intense hydration, smoothing fine lines, and adding a flattering tint or glass-like finish in one effortless swipe.
We round up the best lip oils to shop now—from cult favourites to new launches—for soft, glossy lips all day. Whether you prefer high-shine or sheer tints, a bolder hue, or something deeply conditioning, these picks are perfect for every occasion.
1. Hermes Beauty Hermesistible, Infused Care Oil
Hermes Beauty recently launched Hermesistible, a collection of six colour and scent-infused lip oils. Made from 97 per cent natural ingredients, the lip oil combines nourishing skincare with make-up to offer a fresh and subtle result. Your lips will appear hydrated and smoothed, enhanced with a light touch of colour and a sweet fruity note.
2. Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
Love the Dior Addict Lip Glow lip balm? It is also available as a glossy lip oil that protects and enhances the lips by bringing out their natural colour. As it does for most of its other cosmetic products, Dior Beauty focuses on pampering users by adding nourishing ingredients in its products. For the Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil, it is enriched with cherry oil and vitamin A and also features a delicious minty-vanilla scent.
There are 11 shades available, from deep mahogany to universal clear. Additionally, it is also a multi-tasker: besides wearing it on its own, you can also use it as a primer under lipstick, or as a top coat for volumising shine.
3. Clarins Lip Comfort Oil
Clarins has also launched a reformulation of its best-selling and highly raved about Lip Comfort Oil. The product now comes with 98 per cent skincare formulation and made with 93 per cent ingredients of natural origin. Available in eight highly wearable shades, each lip oil is inspired by edibles of fruits, chocolate, and honey. The smell is thoroughly addictive and will encourage you to swipe on the product every day for plump and supple lips.
4. Fenty Skin Cherry Treat Lip Oil
Rihanna continues to prove that she is quite possibly the only celebrity beauty brand owner who can launch one successful product after another.
Just last month, she launched Fenty Skin’s new Cherry Treat Lip Oil. The luscious lip product promises to strengthen lips’ moisture barrier in just one week for softer, suppler lips. The plush doe-foot applicator makes it easy to use on-the-go and the clear, non-sticky formula effortlessly glides on the lips.
As its name suggests, the lip oil features a fruity, cherry-inspired scent.
“I love how soft and kissable my lips are after I apply this formula,” said Rihanna upon the launch of this product. Now if that doesn't convince you to try it, what will?
