The Ultimate Guide to Lip Oil: Your Lips' New Best Friend

Our best selling P.Louise Stay Shining Lip Oils are well loved for very good reasons, babe! With their ultra high shine formula and unbelievable scent range, they are a must in your makeup bag.

Lip oils have boomed in popularity over the last couple of years as people are prioritising lip care and its benefits, while still getting a high shine glossy finish for the perfect pout. Our Stay Shining Lip Oils are available as singles but can also be found in our best-selling Bad Bitch Energy Lip Duo, which is paired with our lip conditioners and are available in over 150 flavours!

What is a lip oil?

What is a lip oil, you ask? Our lip oils are a high performance hybrid between a plumping treatment, nourishing oil and high shine lacquer. Avoiding that sticky feeling and going straight for that mirror-like shine, hydration and subtle tint that we all want. They're perfect for those looking for something in between a lip balm and a lip gloss but will still give you the benefits of both, while adding that ultimate P.Louise glass lip effect. They contain vitamin E and meadowfoam seed oil to keep the lips plump, hydrated and nourished.

What does lip oil do?

Our lip oils are formulated to add that high-shine, hydrated feel to the lips. You can wear these solo or on top of your fave lip liner and lipstick combo! The hydrating properties of meadowfoam seed oil and capric triglyceride (coconut oil derivative) act as a lip care product, while rich emollients provide that glass-like lip effect.

Why is it good for the lips?

By adding the ultimate hydration with skin-loving and hydrating ingredients. Who wouldn’t want smooth glossy lips?! Our lips oils are packed with nourishing emollients to soften them, preventing dryness and cracking. The flavours and scents also don't cause irritation! Bonus! But what's in them?

  • Capric Triglyceride: A light, silky oil derived from coconuts that helps to nourish and smooth the lips without a greasy feel and prevents moisture loss.
  • Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil: A plant-based oil known for its moisturising properties. It forms a protective barrier on the lips to seal in hydration.
  • Tocopheryl Acetate: A form of vitamin e that acts as an antioxidant and helps to protect the delicate skin on your lips from environmental stressors.

How to use a lip oil

Our lip oils are your ultimate go-to for glossy lips. You can add this directly on top of your favourite lip liner and lipstick combo to add moisture and shine, or wear alone when you're on-the-go for a subtle colour tint and natural shine! Simply swipe it directly over your lips. Want to wake up with soft, nourished lips? Apply a thick layer before bed for overnight hydration.

What is the best P.Louise lip oil flavour?

🔍 Lip oil vs. lip gloss vs. lip balm

Listen up, babe! We're breaking down the ultimate lip essentials so you can slay every single look. It's all about knowing your mission, and choosing the perfect product for the vibe you're going for. Let's get into it.

Lip Oil Lip Gloss Lip Balm
Primary Purpose Your go-to for a juicy pout that's seriously hydrated and conditioned. The ultimate flex for a bold, high-impact glass lip effect. The essential care moment for lips that need some serious love and moisture.
Consistency Fluid, lightweight, and never sticky. A total dream. Thick and luscious for that perfect, plump finish. Buttery and comforting. It melts into a protective veil.
Hydration Oh yes. It's a key benefit. The oils go deep to give you that soft, supple pout. Gloss is all about the shine. Hydration is a bonus, not the main event. 100% its main mission. It’s the ultimate lip quencher and protector.
Shine A slick, juicy shine that looks effortless and fresh. Unbelievable high-shine for a plumped, lacquered look. Total main character energy. A subtle, natural sheen. It's more of a low-key, healthy vibe.
Colour A sheer wash of colour that just enhances your natural pout. From crystal clear to full-on pigment, this is where you can be bold. A clear finish or a hint of a tint. It's for that 'no-makeup' makeup vibe.
Application Glides on like silk with its doe-foot applicator. Zero fuss, max glam. Doe-foot applicator. Swipe on for an instant transformation. Its thickness is for impact, babe! A quick swipe from the bullet or pot. Perfect for a speedy glam refresh.
Layerability The best for layering. Add it over your favourite lip liner or lipstick for an extra pop of shine and moisture. You can, but it’s meant to be the star! Layering might get a little too thick and sticky. The best as a prep step under any lipstick. Its job is to create a perfect canvas, not to sit on top.

Do you layer lip oil or use it on its own?

That's totally up to you and the look you're trying to achieve but lip oils can absolutely be used for both! Use them alone or on top of your favourite lip combo without affecting your lip look. They're perfect for a sheer wash of colour and that glossy, hydrated look we love.

Layering your lip oil

Lip oil can be used with lip liners, lipsticks and balms to create a full, sculpted and glossy lip look. Follow our simple step-by-step guide to layering it with other products.

Step 1: Prep with a lip exfoliator
Start with a clean canvas, babe. Use our edible lip scrub to buff away any dry, flaky skin. This ensures any lip products go on smoothly and helps your lip oil and other products absorb better and stay in place, giving you a perfectly prepped pout.

Step 2: Define with lip liner
Use a lip liner to define the shape of your lips. Making your lips look fuller is simple— slightly overline them for a fuller effect. This step also prevents your lipstick or gloss from bleeding.

Step 3: Add your lipstick or lipbalm
Fill in your lips with one of our long-wear liquid lipsticks or a solid lipstick for a bold, pigmented look, or use a lip balm for extra hydration and a softer natural-looking base.

Step 4: Layer the lip oil
Finally, apply the lip oil over your lipstick or balm. Focus the application on the center of your lips to create a plumping, luminous effect. The oil will add a glossy finish and a boost of moisture to the entire look.

How long does a lip oil last?

Our long wearing lip oils last several hours without the need of constant reapplication. Always remember to reapply after eating or drinking to keep those lips looking glossy and gorgeous! Your lip oil has 5ml so wont be running out too quickly!
