Lip Glosses and Lip Oils

NYX lip gloss is primarily focused on colour and shine, with formulas ranging from sheer to pigmented finishes. Lip oil  combines a glossy finish with active hydration, infused with nourishing oils that condition lips for up to 12 hours. If you want colour and shine, go for a lip gloss. If you want shine and skincare-level hydration, a lip oil is your match.

Yes, you can use lip oil and lip gloss together. Apply lip oil first to hydrate and soften your lips, then layer lip gloss on top for extra shine and colour. You can also wear lip oil alone for a natural glossy look or reapply throughout the day for added moisture.

Yes, lip oils are one of the better options for dry lips. Lip oils are formulated with nourishing ingredients that actively condition and hydrate. The NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip is infused with squalane, a lightweight, skin-identical ingredient known for its moisture-locking properties, delivering up to 12 hours of hydration with a comfortable, non-sticky finish.

Yes, applying lip gloss over lipstick is a great way to add dimension and shine to any lip look. For best results, let your lipstick fully set before applying gloss, then lightly press your lips together after application to blend the two formulas without disturbing the colour underneath. Start with a thin layer and build from there.

Start with your natural lip tone as a base. If you want to enhance your natural colour, go for a sheer or tinted shade close to your lip tone as these work across all skin tones and are easy to wear every day. For a bolder look, opt for high-pigment shades in berry, red, or deep nude. If you're unsure, a clear or translucent gloss is always a safe starting point; it adds shine without committing to colour, and layers well over anything.
