The 19 Best Lip Oils For Maximum Moisture

Sameeha Shaik Beauty Writer: 'My every day glossy lip comes courtesy of Dior's iconic, and viral, Addict Lip Glow Oil. It's my favourite example of how the glosses of our teen days have evolved into much more sophisticated, comfortable, non-sticky versions of their former selves. I've taken to 001 Pink, but it's available in eight suit-all shades that adapt to your pH levels to provide a custom hue, thanks to Dior's colour reviver technology. Another stand out is that the applicator is so plush and soft.'

Verity Clark Acting Beauty Director: 'I use this like I would a lip balm. By that I mean I apply it regularly throughout the day. Not because it isn't long lasting but because it feels like it's properly hydrating my lips and doesn't leave them sticky or tacky like a lot of lip products. There's a subtle, glossy sheen that gives a polished enough finish that I can wear it to work and feel like I look 'done'. For me this is the perfect lipstick, lip balm hybrid.'

Rachael Martin Beauty Editor: 'I've been waxing lyrical about the newly launched Summer Fridays lip oil for a few weeks now - and my passion for the stuff shows no sign of waning. Light and nourishing (but oh so luxurious) just a slick leaves my lips feeling hydrated and coated with a wash of sheer, silky colour. My go-to shade? It's Soft Mauve which I'm saying is the perfect hue - think a mix between Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk and Very Victoria. Would recommend.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion and Beauty Assistant: 'I recently treated myself to the Vieve Lip Oil, and let me tell you, it’s become my new favourite. It’s the sweet spot between a lip gloss and an oil – just the right balance of shine and hydration. Now, I will admit, the size surprised me a bit at first, but don’t let that fool you – the formula is thick and luxurious, so a little goes a long way. It also doesn't taste half bad. My shade is Rosa, and I’m already planning to try out the other colours because I just can’t get enough!

Jada Langola-Walters: 'So, I recently got my hands on the Fenty Lip Oil, it’s like a hydration miracle. The blend of cherry seed oil and jojoba seed oil in this little gem leaves my lips feeling incredibly moisturised all day long. The only thing I wish it had was a nice fragrance to give it that extra touch of luxury. Despite that, if you’re on the hunt for a lip oil that’s as pretty as it is moisturizing, give Fenty Lip Oil a shot. Your lips will thank you! It smells and tastes amazing too - which is probably the cherry.'

Whitney Jones Editorial Assistant: 'There is only one downside to this lip oil - that it’s always out of stock! But once you get your hands on it, you’ll see why it’s worth the wait. It’s incredibly soft on the lips and doesn’t feel sticky at all; it just melts right in. Plus, the lasting power is impressive, and can we talk about that applicator? It’s so soft, it feels like a little treat every time I use it. Trust me, this lip oil is worth the hype!'

Dayna Southall, Head Of Social Media: 'I love how affordable these glosses are. I'm someone who alway losses my lip products, so the price of these means I can stack up on them. I think this is a really good Dior lip oil dupe - by which it does feel a bit heavier than other lip oils. My favourite shade is Newsfeed, it is a pretty cherry colour that pairs well with a brown lip liner.'

Gavrielle Weiss, Fashion Assistant: 'When I'm rushing from shoots to press events after work I need one lip product that will work for me all day. This lip oil ticks all my boxes giving, colour, shine, moisture and a subtle plumping effect. When the gloss wears off, it leaves a tint on my lips which is perfect for busy days where you can't always retouch. I usually wear in the shade Serenity, which feels like a deeper shade of my natural colour.'

Glossy Bounce Hydrating Lip Oil more than just looks the part: thanks for hyaluronic acid, this lightweight formula hydrates and heals dry, chapped lips. 'I have found lots of lip oils too thick and sticky to be comfortable, but love the look of them so keep trying them,' says one reviewer. 'This is my absolute favourite of the ones I've tried - doesn't feel sticky and heavy but gives such a gorgeous sheen.' In other words, this is multi-tasker: slips on like a lip oil, has the high-shine of a tinted gloss, and the cushion of a balm.

This lip oil is being heavily searched for on a Google and we can see why. If you suffer from dry lips the this can be doubled up as an overnight treatment, because the hazelnut oil and jojoba oil really hydrate the lips. 'It softens my lips and also makes them look fuller and the oil is great and our favourite is this brown shade,' said one reviewer. We like the brown colours, with reviews particularly calling out the 'Honey' shade. 'I love it because you get a healthy youthful look.'

Using this lip oil will instantly take you back to the noughties, it reminds us at Grazia of a gloss you'd find in a magazine.

One trusted review said: 'Lovely quality lip oil, doesn't really add colour to the lips but that's not what I wanted it for. Nice and moisturising on its own and great for adding gloss to matte lipsticks, has a nice subtle strawberry scent.'

A nice dewy gloss infused with collagen-oil for plumper and smoother looking lips. Our favourite shade is nude nectar. We love the sheer, balmy finish.

One trusted review said: 'Love this product! Isn’t stick at all and has a lovely smell. It lasts quite a while on and easy to apply, I’ve gone through this so quickly, will need to repurchase!'

This lip oil is a game-changer! Infused with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter, it not only provides a gorgeous pop of colour but also visibly plumps and protects lips. Plus, it’s incredibly comfortable to wear all day without any stickiness or discomfort. If you love the concealers give this a go.

One trusted review said: 'I really shopped around for a new lip gloss as one I used for years was discontinued. I tried at least 6/7 in store and settled on KOSAS for colour, shine and slight plumping. I used it for the first time last night and was really impressed - I didn’t need to reapply it continuously, the colour was rich but blended well and also blended out well with the lip liner I used. Can’t wait to try other colours!'

This Elf gloss is stocked up in our beauty cupboard and is one we always make a play for when its time to film some video content. It's cute, compact and instantly moisturising. Plus it delivers a silky sheen without breaking the bank. Our favourites are Crystal Clear, Coral Fixation, Pink Quartz and Honey Talks.

Sameeha Shaik Beauty Writer: 'If you're looking for a applicator brush similar to Dior's this one surprisingly comes quite close.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion and Beauty Assistant: 'As someone who loves experimenting with lip care, the GISOU Honey Infused Lip Oil Golden Shimmer Glow was one I was eager to try. The lip oil is comfortable and non-sticky and give my lips a gorgeous honey gold shimmer that’s both hydrating and dazzling. I’ve found it to be a standout choice for adding a touch of sparkle to any look. However, it’s important to mention that while it provides hydration and sparkle it’s not deeply nourishing and I would have loved if it was fragranced.'

Introducing the Odyssey Lip Gloss Oil: your go-to for a perfectly kissable pout in just one swipe. Infused with nourishing jojoba oil, goji berry extract, and cloudberry extract rich in vitamins C and E, this high-shine gloss deeply moisturises for soft, supple lips. But the real star? Serious shine without any stickiness and a range of beautiful shades.

One trusted review said: 'Big fan of milk makeup and all their products and I felt for so long that I was missing gloss options from them and this one fulfilled that! This new gloss was gifted by Milk Makeup and I’m so happy I got to give it a try! I’ll be scooping up more shades ASAP! It’s so hydrating, feels AMAZING on your lips! I got the colour 'Trek', and it’s a gorgeous deep rose shimmer, it’s a very versatile shade that can suit so many different looks. The gloss is a non-sticky formula that just glides right on. Even hours after you’ve applied it your lips will be left soft and nourished.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion and Beauty Assistant: 'I feel like PH products are always so fun because you never know what pigment you're going to end up with. Whether it's a gloss, balm or blush, sign me up! On application this oil works by adjusting to your skins natural PH to give you a tint personalised to you, in turn you'll be left radiant, glossy finish. I love how plush the applicator is which ensures the product goes on smoothly. It also tastes and smells delightful.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion and Beauty Assistant: 'The Rodial Lip Oil is a winner for sun protection and scent! It glides on smooth and leaves a beautiful sheen, all while offering SPF 15 protection. The castor oil, argan oil, and other nourishing ingredients left my lips feeling soft and hydrated. I especially loved the sweet, subtle taste and smell. The only things to keep in mind are that the applicator is a basic plastic tube, which some might find less luxurious than a plush doe-foot. The opaque packaging makes it hard to see how much product is left, so you might end up with surprise empty applicator pumps.'
