Lip oils and lip glosses are the hottest products in the beauty world at the minute. The days of flat and matte lipstick are numbered, which is good news for brides with dry lips as some matte formulas could be quite drying. So here we are rejoicing that high-shine, super hydrating and comfortable lip oils and lip glosses are having their moment.

They are perfect for a wedding look and your honeymoon while you relax on a sun lounger, and best of all gloss formulas have come a long way from the sticky, tacky concoctions that saw us forever pulling hair off our pouts at even the hint of a breeze. That's why we have picked these 15 chic and trending lip buys. See which one catches your eye from our list below.

Top Tips for Wearing Lip Gloss or Oils

  • Lip oils have more skincare benefits than lipstick or gloss, great if your lips are dry. Look for hydrating hyaluronic acid or nourishing vitamin E on the label for that extra care you need.
  • To wear solo, with lip liner or lipstick (or both) choose a neutral nude, or sheer pink or tan lip gloss for versatility.
  • Swatch the gloss in store to see if it has a sheen, shimmer or sparkle finish.
