I am, quite frankly, amazed that we muddled along all these years without lip oils. Part colour, part hydration, much shine; they are the perfect speedy answer to dressing lips.
And, yes, pioneers did of course give us a glimpse of what lip oil life might be like, most notably Clarins, with its 2015 Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, but largely the jobs of adding the aforementioned colour, hydration and shine were divided and we all duly carted around lipsticks and lip balms and lip gloss — and our shoulders and spirits suffered.
