Monsoon has always been about wearing matte makeup. What if we told you there’s a new way to make sure your makeup has that lit-from-within glow that’s dewy and won’t transfer all over your face?
It's time to swap heavy makeup for lip oils. With their lightweight and effortless formulas and subtle tints of colour, lip oils have taken the internet by storm thanks to their ability to inject colour and boost hydration levels. They’re packed with ingredients like vitamin E and natural plant oils to add continuous moisture to your lips through the day, without feeling sticky. There’s a reason everyone wants one, you see!
Most transparent formulas may require more frequent reapplication through the day, but if you’re looking for something long-lasting, a tinted formula that leaves behind a stain is your best bet. Go on, ‘sp-oil’ yourself with our favourites:
Monsoon blues? It’s always golden hour with this tinted oil meets gloss formula that gives your lips that 4PM glow.
