12 Best Lip Oils For Hydrated, Juicy Lips
As lovers of beauty products, it's safe to say there aren't a lot of product categories we haven't tried. Whether it's hair, skin, nails, or makeup, if it's being talked about, it's most likely on our radar. If you're a beauty aficionado, you're probably aware that lip oils are having a moment, and honestly, we completely get why. While we love any lip product, lip oils in particular not only make your mouth look juicy and kissable, but they hydrate and moisturize lips at the same time. We love a product that does double — and sometimes triple, if it has a color added to it — duty.
With so many options on the market, however, it can be difficult to sift through the many different choices. Plus, take it from us — not all formulas are created equal. There's a perfect pick for someone who wants high shine, as well as someone who wants a little added plumpness. But don't let your brain go into overdrive just yet. We did all the hard work for you and rounded up a few of our favorites ahead. Keep scrolling to shop the best lip oils, whether you're looking for options that will soothe your dry lips or a product that will give you the best color payoff.

Editor Quote: "The formula's texture is lightweight and nonsticky, perfect for the summertime. It goes on with a slightly watery feel, but the oily slip delivers moisture to your lips without feeling heavy. After drinking and eating, and even swimming or sweating in the heat, the formula does not budge. It doesn't feather or flake off like other lip stains, and the color barely transfers, unlike most lip products." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, commerce

It makes my mouth look shiny, provides the perfect tint, and doesn't leave behind a sticky residue. Yes, it works well with lip liners and layered over lipsticks, but honestly, I prefer wearing it completely on its own.
