You bought your lip oil… now what? Most people use it only one way, but this is the most versatile product in your makeup bag. Here are three ways to get the most out of it, day and night.
Way 1: On its own, for the "your lips, but better" look
It's the favorite way for those who love a natural look.
- Apply it to clean, moisturized lips.
- One or two swipes are enough for a juicy, healthy shine.
- Ideal for no-makeup days, the gym, the office, or when you want to look fresh in 30 seconds.
If you use Piña Colada or Passion Fruit, the color changing touch gives your lips a personalized pink that looks like you were born with it.
Way 2: Over your lip liner or lipstick, to elevate any look
The makeup artist trick for reviving a matte lipstick or adding dimension to lip liner:
- Line your lips as usual (or apply your favorite lipstick).
- Wait a few seconds for it to set.
- Press a layer of lip oil onto the center of your lips and spread it gently.
The result: lips that look fuller, with a juicy finish and zero dry feeling, even over matte formulas.
Way 3: As an overnight treatment
While you sleep, your skin goes into repair mode — and your lips can take advantage of that too.
- Remove all your makeup before bed.
- Apply a generous layer of lip oil as the last step of your routine.
- Wake up with soft, comfortable lips ready for the day.
Bonus: the smart on-the-go touch-up
Went out in matte lipstick and by mid-afternoon it looks cracked? Don't take it all off. Apply a tiny drop of lip oil to the center of each lip and press gently: the matte comes back to life, the color looks fresh again, and your lips stop feeling tight. It's the express rescue makeup artists keep in their pocket.
One more reapplication tip
Keep one in your purse, one on your nightstand, and one in your travel makeup bag. Consistency (lots of light touches throughout the day) beats a single heavy application.
