Glossy lips have officially made a comeback! Thanks to the lip oil hype on social media, the makeup trend is definitely stronger than ever. But what exactly is lip oil and how does it differ from lip gloss? We give the lowdown on the hot beauty product and share our recommendations below!
The Difference Between Lip Gloss and Lip Oil
Both gloss and oil leave our puckers with a juicy sheen, but the similarities pretty much end there. When it comes to formulation, longevity, and overall feel, they couldn’t be more different! Lip gloss is often made with ingredients such as wax and petroleum which results in its sticky and heavy consistency. These make gloss more long-lasting and able to exude vibrant colors.
Lip oil on the other hand is made with natural ingredients to give you shine while doubling as a hydrating treatment. It may not be as pigmented or as long-wearing as lip gloss, but it certainly is more nourishing. Plus, its light-weight non-sticky formula makes it an easy favorite.Â
Ready to ride the lip oil bandwagon? Here are 10 of the best lip oils to try for every budget.Â
