How we score →Mixed
5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Does a lip oil that leaves a stain also leave your lips dry? The fans say the color is fantastic, the finish never turns sticky and it sticks around longer than you'd expect, with a sheer wash that suits summer. The skeptics found it drying once it settles, not as conditioning as an oil should be, and some say it fades faster than hoped.

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
