Somewhere between skincare and make-up, tinted lip oils are increasingly replacing lip glosses and are making a name for themselves this spring. Less “involving” than lipsticks and more natural, they leave lips looking appetising, delicately coloured and bursting with skincare.
True tinted care products, lip oils moisturize and sublimate lips without adding too much color.
Much easier to live with than full-coverage lipsticks, they can almost be applied without a mirror. These nourishing, super-natural formulas (90% natural ingredients on average) contain hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils and waxes, shea butter…
They can be worn alone, as a lipstick base, or as a top coat over lipstick (to give it extra shine, or to refresh it at the end of the day before going out), for those looking for a stronger make-up effect.
Among the first to imagine an oil texture for lips is Clarins, which perseveres this spring with its Lip Comfort Oil (€32, three new colors including an original yellow that fades on the lips, leaving them just radiant: Joyful Yellow, Passionate Pink, Daring Orange).
The formula contains a unique cocktail of organic plant oils (jojoba, hazelnut, rose hip) and reflects light for a glossy finish. Thanks to its unique fingertip-like tip, it deposits just the right amount of oil with precision.
Soft, light and comforting, its texture envelops lips in extreme comfort for maximum sensoriality, and you forget about it as soon as you apply it! A point appreciated …
