Natural and clean lip oils provide that thin, non-sticky shine that goes deeper than a lip gloss to moisturize and feed lips nutrients. They’re made with organic and non-toxic plant ingredients and skincare actives that keep lips plump, healthy and protected from environmental aggressors.

It’s like having glazed donut lips or glass lips without any of the junk. I looove lips oils for the mega shine and hydrating benefits they provide, plus the tint completes my makeup look. I’m sharing my in-depth comparison review of each formulation and how each one measures up to one another.

I Tried Well People Lush Lip Tinted Oil (Best Value!)

I was quite surprised by Well People’s Lush Tinted Lip Oil because it almost felt and performed like a lip stain but not quiiite. The color payoff is amazing and it feels like it stays on longer than most lip oils. It’s thin but still feels quite buttery and moisturizing and has a blend of botanical oils and shea butter to deeply moisturize dry lips. I. also really liked the applicator because it’s a little chunkier than some other nontoxic lip oils and good amount of product grabs onto it. Well People offers the BEST value for money if you’re looking for a budget-friendly clean lip oil in wearable shades.

I Tried Innbeauty Project Tinted Lip Oil

The first time I tried Innbeauty Project’s tinted lip oil I was totally blown away. At the time it was one of the newer clean beauty brands and I loved that they were making fun, innovative products that still prioritized clean ingredients. During my testing, I found Innbeauty Project’s lip oil to feel thicker than others with great lasting power and the best shade selection out of all the other brands. It’s seriously so cute and fun to use with its jumbo sized applicator tip which grabs a decent amount of product. It actually reminds me of lip smackers with all its fun dessert, fruit and cereal flavors.

I Tried Versed Tinted Lip Oil

I instantly noticed how creamy Versed’s Tinted Lip Oil is and how silky smooth the consistency felt on my lips. This feels super moisturizing and is filled with high-nutrient oils like camellia seed oil and sesame seed oil. I’m very impressed by the value for money this product offers and think it’s great budget option! I just wish there were more shades available. The color payoff isn’t as sheer as some of the other lip oils I mention and actually does pack a good punch!

How it feels: creamy
Color payoff: Medium
Shades available (3): Ruby, Fig, Blossom
Ingredient caution: Jojoba Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Vitamin E, Cocoa Seed Butter

I Tried Saint Jane Beauty Tinted Lip Oil

Saint Jane Beauty has the most beautiful and luxurious tinted lip oil out of all the ones I tried. I find the texture to be thin but it still somehow has a lot of grip. It’s not a slippery slick kind of feeling on my lips and seem to stay on better than a traditional lip oil. One thing I don’t like about it is how little comes out of the stopper each time. I’d like just a liiiitle more to get onto it so I don’t have to keep jamming the applicator in and out.

I love that they offer a wide variety of super beautiful, sophisticated shades including both matte and shimmer shades that use responsibly-sourced mica. During my test of their different shades I found the deeper ones have great color payoff for a lip oil while the nude shades keep your lips looking like yours but prettier. All the ingredients are vegan and cruelty free and it’s loaded with botanical oils and even Vitamin C to keep lips healthy and deeply moisturized.

Price: $28 for 0.5 oz
How it feels: Thin with grip
Color payoff: Sheer (lighter shades) Strong (darker shades)
Shades available (8): Bliss, Cloud, Calm, Alchemy, Elixir, Nectar, Mystic, Tonic
Skincare Ingredients: Vitamin C, Chamomile, Aloe, Avocado Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil
Scent: Unscented
✔ Cruelty-free ✔ Vegan ✔ Synthetic fragrance-free

I Tried Typology Tinted Lip Oil

I found Typology’s Tinted Lip Oil to feel nice and creamy and I got a kick out the packaging looking like nail polish bottles. I like that the amount of product (0.5 fl oz) is generous compared to other lip oils which are usually 0.2 or 0.3 fl oz. What I didn’t like is that very little comes out so I had to remove the stopper to get the amount I wanted on the applicator. It’s 98% naturally derived with squalane, jojoba oil, vitamin E, and plum oil plus it’s vegan and made in France.

Price: $27.90 for 0.5 oz
How it feels: Smooth and creamy
Color payoff: Sheer (lighter shades) Strong (darker shades)
Shades available (5): Clear, Coral Pink, Ruby Red, Plum Purple, Nude Beige
Ingredient: Jojoba Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Vitamin E
Scent: Unscented
