Black Lip Oil Creates A Stunning, Subtle Lip Look

With a veiled, gothic undertone, black lip oil is the captivating, mysterious gloss we didn't know we needed. While you may stick to your rosy pinks and luminous neutrals when it comes to the wildly popular lip oil trend, a darker shade can actually remain quite subtle while also bringing about an element of intrigue and whimsy. The darker hue can also open the doorway to a new aesthetic, allowing you to play around with your makeup technique. 

From fresh, clean makeup looks to more vampy vibes, the black lip oil is more versatile than you might initially imagine. And while we're all about the sheer single coat of black lip oil for a subtle look, you can also layer it on top of other lip colors to create a dimensional, bolder presence. Lip oils are different from other lip products in that they have the benefit of a lip balm in terms of moisture with the added shine of a gloss, truly making them a win-win. 

The soft, grayish hue of black lip oil is versatile enough that you can continue to don your daily makeup along with it. A simple look with extra long lashes complements the lip oil beautifully and we'd recommend minimal eyeshadow that keeps the focus on the luminosity of the lips.

For a bolder shine, layer your black lip oil to create a thicker density and pigment. Black lip oil will work wonderfully with a sparkling, vampy eyeshadow of a similar hue — though we'd still recommend keeping it rather subtle as not to overwhelm the face. A gentle blush and soft highlighter really pull this vibe together.

Perhaps you want the focus of your look to be your black lip oil and going with an ethereal, glowing face of soft makeup seems like the obvious option. The contrast is captivating and the witchy vibes are top-notch. Opt for a darker black lip oil that only requires a few coats for a dramatic impact.

If you aren't too certain that you'll feel comfortable in a black lip oil, you could start with a coat of berry red lip color beneath it to create a red tinge that peeks through. The results truly stun and are a bit more adaptable when it comes to styling your day-to-day looks.

Black lip oil might just be the product you've been waiting for and maybe you're ready to dive straight in, side-stepping the subtle piece of the equation. Black lip liner paired with black lip oil is a stellar combo that'll bring all the drama. Pair them both with a bold winged eyeliner for a cohesive look.
