We're Beauty Editors—Of Course We Created a Master List of Beloved Lip Oils

Pros: Silky glide with zero stickiness, incredible shine

Cons: Some reviewers think the formula is too "thin"

Shades: 9

Key ingredients: Jojoba seed oil, hyaluronic acid, shea butter

I will forever and always carry Saie Glossybounce in my bag. The finish is perfect, glassy, and juicy with zero stickiness, and each stunning shade has incredible payoff. I especially love Play (a sheer bubblegum pink that actually looks quite natural) for my everyday lip looks, and I've been using Remix (a mauve shimmer) to dress up my evening makeup routine. I'm truly obsessed.

Customer review: "I'm so glad I tried this Lip Oil! I love that it has a natural hint of a shade without being too bright and distracting. And the consistency is so nice and silky, not sticky and very hydrating!"

Pros: Zero stickiness, provides all-day hydration

Cons: Some reviewers don't like the scent

Shades: 6

Key ingredients: Honey, grape-seed oil, sunflower seed oil, hyaluronic acid

A honey-powered formula, Gisou's lip oil is such a low-key hit. There's a reason it won a coveted spot in our inaugural Beauty Awards! Our testers especially loved how it glides onto the lips "like butter" and offers all-day hydration. A new lip oil seems to launch every single week at this point, but WWW Beauty Director Erin Jahns still considers Gisou her ultimate go-to.

​Customer review: "Absolute best lip gloss ever! With any other lip gloss, they always need a touchup or multiple coats but with this one it’s one swipe and then perfection! 100% recommend. Worth the price."

Pros: Non-sticky and lightweight, buildable, comfortably coats the lips without streaking

Cons: Color is sheer if you're looking for more pigment payoff

Shades: 12

Key ingredients: Rose-hip oil, shea butter, jojoba oil

Merit's tinted lip oil is the definition of light as air. You'll truly forget you even have it on (speaking from experience!). Its sleek, non-sticky finish and gorgeous shade range are just a couple reasons WWW assistant beauty editor Maya Thomas considers it one of her all-time faves. She especially loves the shade Sangria, a deep, juicy berry.

Customer review: "The most flattering thing that I ever put on my lips, and all I can say is I AM OBSESSED, literally don’t walk , run and get yourself one. Because the pigmentation is just on point and it doesn’t feel sticky at all and keeps my lips really hydrated. I just love these lip oils and can’t stop purchasing them."

Pros: Gives great coverage, super glossy, pigment lasts a while on the lips

Cons: Glossy shine doesn't last as long as other options (although the tint definitely does!)

Shades: 11

Key ingredients: Sweet cherry oil, mint-vanilla fragrance

Dior's Lip Glow Oil has reached icon status (the hashtag #diorlipoil has 1.3 billion views and counting on TikTok!), and let me just say: The formula is definitely worth the hype. It nails that glossy, never-sticky finish that makes lips look extra juicy, and the tint itself lingers long after the gloss has worn off. It features cherry oil to nourish lips, as well as a minty-vanilla scent that feels fresh and invigorating.

The doe-foot applicator is also nice and plush, so it gives ample coverage with just one swipe. I'm partial to the Poppy Coral shade for some warmth and brightness, while Maya adores Mahogany. You really can't go wrong with any of the 11 stunning options.

Customer review: "Love love love. The applicator and wear is amazing. Expensive but worth the money. I’ve tried dupes for it but none of them are as soft as this."

Pros: Piles on the shine, plush applicator with great coverage

Cons: Doesn't have as much tinting power as other options

Shades: 5

Key ingredients: Strawberry extract, hyaluronic acid, squalane

This $5 beauty delivers just as much juicy shine and moisture as some of the $35+ options on this list. The applicator is very plush and provides great coverage as well. I will say the pigment is very sheer, which is something to note if you prefer more color payoff. But for those looking for just a hint of color, it's divine. It also comes in such fun variations, like translucent yellow and blue.

Customer review: "I've tried all the oils; expensive to drug store. This is my new favorite. Perfect amount of tint. Not sticky, stays a long time hydrating! Wish there were more tints—I would buy them all."

Pros: Nice slip, great color payoff

Cons: Reviewers say it has more of a lip-gloss texture

Shades: 7

Key ingredients: Baobab seed oil, camellia seed oil, passion fruit seed oil

WWW associate beauty editors Shawna Hudson and Kaitlyn McLintock are obsessed with this Ami Colé number. Just look at that shine on Shawna! It's a bit thicker than other options—some reviewers consider it more of a gloss than an oil—but if you're looking for that high-shine finish along with a gorgeous kiss of color that lasts all day long, you'll fall head over heels for this one.

Customer review: "My favorite lip oil on the market, feels amazing on the lips, perfect amount of pigment and lasts so long. I’ve tried every other hyped up lip oil and I gotta say this one does NOT get enough love!!"

Pros: Contains 92% natural ingredients, layers well over lipstick

Cons: Some reviewers say it wears off quickly

Shades: 6

Key ingredients: Corsican honey, propolis, royal jelly

Erin is quick to recommend this honey-infused formula from Guerlain. (FYI, celebrity makeup artist Nina Park also considers herself a fan!) It deposits the prettiest pop of color and the most hydrated, glassy shine. Ever marveled at the natural glow from a dollop of honey? This lip oil delivers that same finish, sans stickiness.

Customer review: "Purchased both the pink and coral shades in this luscious lip oil. It’s feather light and gives the lips a beautiful gloss. I wear it over the lip balm, lipstick, and alone with just a little lip liner that matches my lip color. Tres magnifique!!"

Pros: Glides easily, has great color payoff

Cons: Not as many shade options

Shades: 4

Key ingredients: Vitamin E, castor seed oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil

Leave it to Summer Fridays (which boasts one of the best glossy lip balms, like, ever) to launch a swoon-worthy lip oil. I'll reach for this one when I'm craving extra color payoff, as it has more of an opaque finish (whereas other lip oils read more sheer). That being said, it doesn't ever skimp on shine. Hudson and I both give it our stamps of approval!

Customer review: "This is one of the best oils I have ever put on my lips, I am super picky with lip products because a lot of them dry my lips out but this doesn’t! It’s so moisturizing and the color is beautiful!"

Pros: Plumps the lips without any sting, prettiest sheer color payoff

Cons: Some reviewers say the packaging can leak over time

Shades: 6

Key ingredients: Blend of Maxi-Lip and Volulip technologies, prickly pear oil, vegan collagen

Kaitlyn calls this glassy number "a special fave," and I can totally see why. Some even say it's a great dupe for Dior! McLintock adores the shade Macaron, a light petal pink, combined with a warm rose lip liner. "I recently wore this combo to a wedding, and three people complimented me and asked for the details," she once told me. Sold!

Customer review: "It’s extremely light weight, not sticky, and it looks so natural yet stunning while wearing it. I was extremely skeptical because it looks heavy and sticky—but it’s far from it!!"

Pros: Great for a naturally "blurred lip" look

Cons: Very discreet, if you're looking for more color payoff

Shades: 6

Key ingredients: Squalane, jojoba oil, vitamin E

"This lip oil is one of my all-time favorites," Kaitlyn writes. (And I wholeheartedly agree!) "It's not thick or goopy like other formulas I've tried. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It feels like a cool liquid on the lips, imparts a wash of blurred color, and dries down to a comfortable, moisturizing finish. I'm in love." We're both currently freaking out over the brand's new Black Cherry shade, which imparts the prettiest berry hue. I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

Customer review: "I was looking for a lip product that would enhance my lips without adding too much substance or drying them out. I've done it! This lip oil moisturizes while leaving lips plumped, for a subtle, bitten-mouth effect. Doesn't stick or run. In short, I'm won over!"

Pros: Ultra-moisturizing formula, subtly plumps lips, smells amazing

Cons: Comes in a glass tube, so you have to be a little more careful with it on the go

Shades: N/A

Key ingredients: Sea fern, hyaluronic acid, castor oil, meadowfoam seed oil

If you're looking for a simply hydrating, non-tinted lip oil, I really cannot recommend this Osea number enough. It drenches—and I mean drenches—my lips in moisture, and it has a subtle plumping effect thanks to hyaluronic acid. It's my personal go-to for no-makeup days or when I need an extra hit of hydration at my desk. Osea products are known for their glorious textures and ultra-moisturizing formulas, and this lip oil totally fits the bill. I'm truly such a fan.

Customer review: "This lip booster is truly luxurious and effective. It makes my lips feel smooth immediately after use. I love that I can use this by itself throughout the day as well as apply it over lip color if I want to. It gives me some shine and makes my lips actually look more plump. It comes in lovely glass."

Pros: Non-sticky yet has enough "grip" to last a while, makes lips look incredibly juicy

Cons: Sometimes the cap gets stuck and I have a hard time twisting it open

Shades: 10

Key ingredients: Jojoba oil, fermented pomegranate, plant-based plumping complex

Fun fact: This is one of the only lip oils I've actually used till the last drop. That should tell you how obsessed I am! I love each gorgeous shade (right now I can't get enough of Pumpkin Spice Latte), but the color-changing Mystery has a special place in my heart. It has a pH-adjusting technology that reacts to your natural lip color and creates the perfect shade of pink completely unique to you. I earn multiple compliments on my lip combo whenever I wear it.

Customer review: "I’m a lip oil junkie and these are the best on the market. There’s no stickiness yet there’s enough grip to last a while. The shade range is fantastic and they smell amazing."
