What’s the Difference Between Lip Oil, Lip Gloss, and Lip Balm?

When it comes to picking the perfect lip product, it all comes down to what your lips need and the makeup look you're going for. Lip oils are ultra-lightweight and infused with nourishing ingredients (think jojoba, pomegranate, and apricot oils) to hydrate and condition while delivering a sheer, glossy finish. They're your go-to for everyday moisture with a dewy sheen.

Lip gloss, on the other hand, is all about that shine. Glosses typically sit on top of the lips and give a high-impact, reflective finish—ideal for when you want a bold pop, perfect for night outs or glam moments.

Hydrating lip balms are designed to deeply moisturize and soothe, making them great for dry lips or makeup-free days.

Not sure which one’s right for you? We break it all down in our guide to lip oil vs. lip gloss — a must-read if you’re on the hunt for a perfect pout.

Lip Combo Pairings

Even if you splurge from time to time on a lip product, we’re all on the lookout for the ultimate lip without the luxury price tag. Our Glow Reviver Lip Collection is made to mix, match, and layer—so you can create your perfect lip combo based on your vibe for the day. If we were you, here’s how we’d do it:

  1. First, start with your lip liner to define and shape with a long-lasting, creamy base that locks your look in.

  2. Then, choose your glow: swipe on a hydrating lip balm for sheer tint and soft shine, a lip oil for that juicy, glassy finish, or a shimmer lip oil if you’re going for a little sparkle.

Each lip pairing is effortless, nourishing, and looks luxe—but still affordable. These formulas were made to play well together (and with your budget), so you can switch it up daily without breaking the bank. From barely-there nude combos to bold, glossy pops of color, the glow is always in your hands (and on your lips!).
