Recently, makeup lovers have been obsessed with high-shine finishes. From the pearl skin trend to glossy eyelids, there's no denying the allure of a bit of sheen. While there are many ways to embrace a glass-like look, lip oil gloss hybrids are top of the list.
You've probably noticed an uptick in these products across your social media feeds. But they're not just a flash-in-the-pan trend.
For quite some time, lip oil glosses have quietly been ruling the makeup space -- and for good reason. Like a harmonious song, they blend the best of a shiny lip gloss and nourishing lip oil. Many brands even include enriching ingredients to improve the look of your lips over time. It's easy to see why these glossy tubes have become a standard for all makeup enthusiasts. Since the trend shows no sign of slowing, we've gathered some of our favorites to stock up on.
What are lip oil gloss hybrids?
To be clear, these aren't your roll-on lip glosses from back in the day. As the name suggests, a lip oil gloss is a hybrid makeup product. One tube houses a unique blend of oils that coats the lips with moisturizing ingredients and delivers juicy color and long-lasting shine.
The Best Lip Oil Glosses
NYX Fat Oil Slick Click
If you're a fan of NYX's viral Fat Oil, you know all about its ultra-glossy formula. The brand's latest launch offers that same patent-like shine in an assortment of bold hues -- think deep wines and bubblegum pinks. Priced at just $11, these Slick Click Lip Oil Sticks are a steal, so you don't have to choose just one.
Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Lip Balm
Don't let the name of this sleek stick fool you. Despite its balm claim, it is just as shiny as your go-to gloss. It glides onto lips with ease and delivers a punch of color in a single swipe. The hydrating formula also ensures that your lips stay moisturized and even gives them a plumped appearance.
Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly
While many of the products on this list opt for twist-up tubes, Tower 28's Lip Jelly keeps things old-school. The doe foot applicator is just thin enough to precisely apply the product to your lips without getting too messy. Even better? The formula is made from five nourishing oils to soothe chapped and dry lips.
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumping Gloss
Juicy doesn't begin to describe Tarte's now-viral gloss. Housed in a sleek rose gold tube, the formula is a three-in-one treatment for your lips. First, the balmy texture moisturizes as you apply, leaving behind a light coat of color. Second, it can be built up. With each layer, you can intensify the shade for the perfect plumped pout.
U Beauty The Plasma Lip Compound
Dubbed a lip plumper and hydrator by the brand, this unique tube is a game changer. The metal applicator conforms to your lips to expertly disperse the product. Then, there's the formula, which works to diminish fine lines, and cracking, and eliminate dryness. It even comes in 13 delicious hues that leave an incredible shine in just one swipe.
