You might have seen people rave about the juicy pout look on Instagram. But how do we achieve it without using a tacky gloss? Finding the right lip product can be tricky. Some are too drying, others are sticky, and some move around a lot. But lip oils, a trending new lip product that we have become obsessed with, are perfect for anybody looking for colour, hydration and that juicy lip look.
Think of lip oils as the best of both worlds. They are moisturising like balms and have the shiny finish of a lip gloss that doesn’t feel sticky. Most lip oils have a treatment added to them, so they are like a skincare boost for the lips. They give a pretty sheen without the heaviness of a regular gloss, but a more fun look than a balm. If you want to try lip oils, we have picked out some of our favourites below.
