Spring is officially here, and it's the perfect time to switch up your beauty routine with some fresh, colorful lip oils. Not only do they hydrate and protect your lips, they also add a subtle pop of color to match the vibe of the season. Read on for the best lip oils in gorgeous spring shades to keep your lips soft, smooth and shiny.
In this article: Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil, Elf Glow Reviver Lip Oil and Gissou Honey-Infused Hydrating Lip Oil
Lip oil, lip balm, and lip gloss are all designed to care for and enhance the lips, but they differ in their primary function and texture. Lip balm is usually thicker and designed to create a protective barrier, lock in moisture and provide relief for dry or chapped lips. Lip gloss is makeup, and the formula is more about adding shine and a glossy finish, often with a bit of color.
Lip oil can be seen as the best of both worlds. It is lightweight and offers hydration with nourishing oils that penetrate the skin for moisture and a natural, glossy finish without being sticky.
This lip oil is a cult favorite for its nourishing, cherry oil-infused formula that has the shine of a gloss and the feel of lip care. It has a nonsticky, nongreasy finish. For springtime, we’re partial to the 015 Cherry hue, which is a punchy coral-red.
Elf is one of our favorite budget-friendly yet high-quality beauty brands, and its lip oil is among its best products. A combination of apricot oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil and pomegranate oil give this vegan, cruelty-free product its nourishing formula. We love the pink quartz shade for spring.
Gissou Honey-Infused Hydrating Lip Oil
Gissou’s luxurious, honey-infused formula has long been one of our favorites, so we were excited when the brand launched its first tinted lip oils. The shade Mango Passion Punch has a delicious, fruity scent and delivers a subtle wash of color to your pout.
Clarins’ lip oil stands out for its comfortable, long-lasting wear. Formulated with 98% skin care ingredients like organic sweetbriar rose oil, the product hydrates, nourishes and soothes, while delivering a lasting shine. We love Pitaya’s subtle pink hue.
Summer Fridays’ lip oil formula is enhanced with vitamin E, which protects and softens dry lips. The nonsticky oil is especially flattering in the Blush Dreams color, which brings out the natural pink tones in your lips.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain
Selena Gomez’s beauty brand makes a tinted lip oil with a nice color payoff. (We really like Joy, which is a soft peach tone.) The formula contains jojoba seed oil, which moisturizes and creates a protective barrier on your lips, and sunflower seed oil, which has antioxidant properties and helps protect against environmental stressors.
Clinique Pop Lip + Cheek Tinted Oil
This versatile product is based on Clinique’s cult-favorite Black Honey shade. Don’t let the liquid’s dark hue fool you: Once applied to your lips and cheeks, this oil releases only a subtle, sheer reddish tint that’s universally flattering. A combination of safflower oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil and castor oil help nourish your pout.
