If you’re someone who follows makeup trends, you’ve probably noticed by now that lip oils are seriously big news this summer. From the matte trends of a few years ago, we’ve pivoted and now lips are all about a luscious, shiny, healthy glow. Thankfully, most of these oils aren’t as sticky as they look, and many actually improve the softness and overall health of your lips. If you’re keen to try a lip oil for yourself, here are three must-buy shades.
Gloss Orange
Whether you opt for a copper-toned lip oil or something in more of a coral hue, orange-toned lips are always perfect for summer. Do be aware that many lip oils come out paler than they appear in the tube, so it might be worth opting for a bold hue to get the maximum impact from your lip oil.
Perfect Pink
A soft, feminine pink is always on-trend, and lip oil imparts a stunning shine and glow that’s hard to resist. Seek out lip oils that will deliver health-boosting ingredients such as peptides and almond oil, so that you can apply your lip oil safely in the knowledge that it’s improving your lips.
Bold Red
It’s hard to say no to a standout red shade. As with the orange, do be aware that many lip oils appear darker and more intense in the packaging than when they’re on, so if you want a true red you may need to test a few out before you commit.
