20 Of The Best Lip Oils For A Glossy, Hydrated Pout
1. A K-beauty Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil because heartbreak is one thing, but an icky sticky finish on your lips is another. It's made with soothing apple water to help moisturize and soften your lips while feeling super lightweight. It also gives your lips a lovely, natural-looking flush.
This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.
I have been using this lip oil for three months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences!
Promising review: "I love K-beauty and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and looking like cherry plump. Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. At first, I thought that the bottle seemed small but after applying 2–3 times/day for a month, I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" — Nhu
Get it from Amazon for $8.47+ (available in 13 colors and in sets)
2. A pack of Ruby Kisses hydrating clear lip oil *packed* with powerful antioxidants and amino acids thanks to its jojoba oil, vitamin E, and sweet almond oil. It's got a lovely, minty scent and reviewers rave about how smoothly it applies!
Promising review: "I have tried every brand of lip balm and gloss on the market to repair my dry, dehydrated, peeling lips, and none worked. It seemed impossible until now! I put this on when it arrived and I finally have pillow soft lips. No more peeling and cracking! You can spend a lot of money on a product that doesn't do anything except look pretty. But pretty doesn't matter if your lips are peeling and chapped. Use it like any normal gloss with your lip color and reap the added benefits. Use it by itself for the softest, prettiest lips that you've always dreamt about. And with this wonderful price, you can afford to keep them handy everywhere; in the car, the bathroom, beside your bed, in your purse, your desk — I never want be without it!" — Colorista#1

3. Wonderskin Lip Rehab Serum Oil, a vegan powerhouse lip oil infused with shea butter (formulated at double the industry standard concentration!), avocado oil, vitamin E, and apricot and jojoba oil. This pH-activated oil delivers a long-lasting, luscious finish and a delightful scent without the annoying stickiness of traditional oils and glosses.
Promising review: "I really love this lip oil to layer on top of my lip liner. It's nourishing, hydrating, and the applicator exfoliates my dead skin cells. The applicator is very unique. It has a small hole in the center which suctions to your lip and helps to exfoliate. I got the clear lip oil and it's perfect! I have a lot of lines in my lips, and it fills them in and hydrates them beautifully." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.40 (available in six colors).

Sephora
Promising review: "Non-sticky formula, leaves lips soft. I do have to re-apply throughout the day, however I do not mind. It's very much a silky velvet feeling on my lips. I was looking for an oil that wasn't sticky. It does leave a tint but not very pigmented. I prefer tints!" — theweekndxo
Get it from Amazon (available in four colors) or Sephora (available in eight colors) for $26.
5. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip enriched with vegan squalane, raspberry, and cloudberry oils to deliver a surge of deep moisture for the soft, supple lips of your dreams — and all while delivering some serious shimmer! And? IT'S UNDER $10. Sold.
Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the Nyx Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $7.50 (available in 14 shades, including a clear option).
6. An E.l.f Glow Reviver Lip Oil infused with jojoba oil to give you the most hydrated, kissable lips. If you've had your eyes set on the Dior Lip Oil, many reviewers would agree that this more affordable alternative has matched (or even outdone!) its performance.
Promising review: "Did I mention that I love this lip product? It has a nice hue to it. The amazing thing — it's not sticky, at all. That is one of my biggest things I look for in lip products when I'm just doing daily errands. This will forever be a repurchase from me." — Kayla

7. A Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly Lip Oil, a vegan lip jelly made with a unique blend of apricot kernel oil, raspberry seed oil, and rosehip oil to soothe and protect your lips. It's got the high shine of a gloss, the comfort of a balm, and a touch of juicy sheer color!
Sephora
Promising review: "This lip oil is AMAZING! It looks so nice on my lips and looks super shiny! It is not sticky and is super smooth. It is the perfect color and looks great over any lipstick or just over plain lips. There is also a lot of product, and is definitely worth the price." — avert112
Get it from Sephora for $16 (available in 10 colors).
8. Clinique Pop Lip + Cheek Tinted Oil — if you're a ride or die for the TikTok-famous "universal" Black Honey lippie, you're gonna want to see this. It is a ~juicier~, luscious version that gives both your lips *and* cheeks some lovin'. With a dewier finish, this is perfect for those with a preference for "no makeup makeup". It's also comparable to the Dior Lip Glow Oil (with a hint of Benetint and Clinique Black Honey)! So everyone say "thank you" to Clinque.

Sephora
Promising review:"I adore this product; the amazing formula can't be beaten! It goes on feeling as smooth as oil without the greasy feeling. It leaves behind a lovely, long-lasting tint, and my lips feeling nourished! This product dries, so it doesn't make your lips feel like they're coated in the product, but it doesn't dry your lips down like other tints. Just nice supple tinted lips, no crusty-looking lips! This is a lip product I use daily and don't plan on EVER replacing with a different lip product… just different colors :)" — daxxi

Promising review: "I have been looking for a conditioning lip oil for a while, and many tubes later, I finally found what I've been looking for. It's lightweight, not tacky feeling, shiny, not a greasy feel, has a slight color, and is even better. This lip oil is all the best of a lip balm and gloss. It is affordable, moisturizes my lips, and doesn't transfer a thick, sticky mess. Also, it doesn't feel like it's 'sitting' on my lips, but it works like a balm in that way. 😊 Love love love it and getting more!" — g

A non-sticky Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil, which is a sweet concoction of the brand's Mirsalehi honey and bee garden oils for some deep hydration and added shine, hyaluronic acid, and jojoba and meadowfoam seed oils to really lock in all that moisture.

Sephora
Promising review: "Gisou's Honey Infused Lip Oil is my new obsession!! It looks fabulous on and makes my lips feel so luxurious. This lip oil stays on for hours and leaves my lips feeling hydrated. I love the color of the honey lip oil, it compliments all skin tones." — april011

Sephora
Promising review: "This lip oil is amazing; the texture is quite thick, but it is a nice way that will make your lips extremely glossy and not in the way that you feel as if you had honey on them. And the best part is that it lasts forever I put it on my lips and after an hour of wearing it I don't have to reapply. I love it!!!" — Valefer611
Get it from Sephora for $24 (available in four colors).
15. An Etude Dear Darling Oil Tint that gives you allll the pinky-toned gloss with none of the stickiness. This K-beauty staple effectively moisturizes lips, making it a perfect to layer on to of the brand's reviewer-beloved water tint. The best part? It comes in various vibrant shades (plum berry is a fan fave)!
Promising review: "These feel really great on the lips. They have a really cool jelly-like texture and leave a pretty shine. I didn't find them to be sticky like a lip gloss at all. These Etude lip oils are similar in texture to the Kaja Beauty ones, which I also love. They can be quite pigmented so I used a lighter hand for just a wash of color as that is what I like! Nothing else on my lips. The lip oil leaves a pretty little stain behind once the shininess wears off. I find the product easy to reapply during the day without looking patchy or anything like that because of the gel-like texture. Overall, I would recommend!!! Definitely a fan! Oh and the smell to me is very pleasant." — Mars

Sephora
Promising review: "I've been using this product for three years. I'm onto my third tube. It is my most favorite used product.

17. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Tinted Lip Oil that uses hyaluronic acid as its main weapon for that extraaa hydration. You won't know which one you love more: the beautiful glossy shine and natural color it adds to your lips or its hydrating properties and soft, creamy feel. 😍
Promising review: "This lip oil is a great addition to my lip care routine. The gloss applies smoothly and has a nice, hydrating feel, thanks to the hyaluronic acid. It doesn't feel heavy on the lips and lasts for a good amount of time. The tint adds a subtle pop of color, making it perfect for everyday wear. Overall, it keeps my lips feeling soft and moisturized, and the slight stickiness is a minor tradeoff for the hydration and color it provides. A lovely, lightweight lip product!" — Louisa Redding

The plumping effect is noticeable but gentle — no burning, just a nice tingle. The sleek packaging is a bonus, and it lasts longer than I expected. It's my new go-to gloss!" — Panda871
"This smells so good — not overly sweet, but like fruity candy. The plumping effect is noticeable subtly, making your lips look a bit fuller without the overly irritated look. The pink is a lovely shade that looks classic." — vtseng

Sephora
Promising review: "I haven't seen a lot of people talk about how good this lip oil is! Not sticky at all, light on the lips, super glossy and cute packaging. I got the green one which is clear on the lips, it has a light minty feeling and smell, not overwhelming. This is one of my favorite formulas now: — jessicapcisnero

20. Laura Geller Treat-n-Go Tinted Lip Oil that kisses your lippies with a hint of color and is infused with a blend of raspberry seed oil and Punica granatum seed oil to deliver deep hydration, leaving your pout looking fuller and smoother. Reviewers love the lip oil's beautiful color and silky texture, with one mentioning it looks beautiful layered with another gloss!
Promising review: "I've tried the butter glosses and the fat oils. When the other fails to last, or just plain fails, the LG Lip Oil has changed my mind on what to expect from such a product. This color is so silky and comforting when applied. I will be buying another one for my purse so that I never need to be without it again. The color itself has a gentle glow, perfect for work or Zoom calls. It's buildable to get a range of looks, from a quick swipe for a more casual look to building up into an elegant evening look. But the best part is how the moisture gets into and softens your lips. Mine already feel softer after just a few days' use. I don't find this lip oil to be sticky at all — just glamorous color and moisture." — Amazon Customer
