The best lip oils are the “work smarter, not harder” product of one’s arsenal—perfectly toeing the line between hydration and next-level shine. Beginning with a base of nourishing, emollient-rich botanical oils gives this formula built-in advantages. “Lip oils in general envelop the lip, creating a seal with a hint of color and lots of shine,” says celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin, whose celebrity clientele includes Nicola Coughlan and Michelle Yeoh. Reaching for a hydrating lip oil gives you the best of both worlds: a strengthened, a nourished skin barrier, while lips look as glossy as ever (and even a little plumper).
