If there’s something the beauty sphere proves capable of, it is innovation with the goal of meeting a hyper-specific need. We’ve seen it all the last couple of years—the amalgamating of two completely separate categories to form an all-new beast of its own, or even the warping of tried-and-tested formulas to create newfangled textures. And while the results and success rate may vary, there’s no denying that stellar creations have been borne from such a process. Lip oil, for one, serves as a prime example. Harbouring the nourishing qualities of a lip balm and the high-shine finish of a gloss, it acts as a perfect in-between for individuals seeking both style and function when it comes to their pucker. As with the case when it comes to products, however, it’s safe to say that not all of them are made equal. Which brings us to our next point: what are the best lip oils in the market right now?
Luckily for us, the brands of today are just as intrigued as we are by this hybrid lip product. The latest variants of 2025 boast a non-sticky or gloopy texture, for one, and also deliver on a pigment punch as well as a heaping of shine. Below, Vogue Singapore’s curation of the best lip oils, ranging from cult-classics to spanking new releases that are making waves amongst make-up mavens right now.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil
It’s a cult favourite for good reason. No lip oil has been touted more by beauty aficionados than Clarins’s Lip Comfort Oil, perhaps a great deal due to its jam-packed list of nourishing ingredients, such as organic jojoba oil, hazelnut oil, and rosehip star extract oil. All for moisture and added repair to leave your lips soothed and hydrated.
