NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip

Lip oils have become a favourite for people who want shine without stickiness. Fat Oil Lip Drip is NYX's tinted lip oil, with a large applicator.

Oil or gloss

A gloss is usually thick and can feel tacky. A lip oil is slicker and lighter, with a softer shine. Both make lips look fuller by catching the light. Oils usually feel more comfortable, and some people like them as a moisturizing step.

The tint

Tinted lip oils give a sheer wash of colour. Some leave a light stain once the oil wears off. Amazon lists each shade separately, so choose yours on the listing.

How to wear it

• On its own for a sheer, shiny look.
• Over lipstick to add shine.
• Over lip liner for more definition.

How long it lasts

Not long. Oils wear off with eating and drinking, and you will reapply through the day. That is the trade for comfort.

Who it suits

Anyone who dislikes sticky gloss, people with dry lips, and anyone who wants a quick, no-mirror lip product.

What it will not do

It will not last like a long-wear lipstick. It will not give full, opaque colour. And if you dislike any slip on your lips, an oil will feel too slippery.
