There’s a reason Allure’s Sarah Hoffman has said she’s “obsessed,” adding “at this point I have one in every bag.” Merit Beauty Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil has a barely there tint that gives lips just the right amount of oomph in gorgeous colors, like warm, clear Bel Air, caramel-y Au Naturel, rose petal Pink Beet, and peachy Jeté. Each feels light and comfortable on lips, but lasts for ages—a nice perk given how un-fussy these tints are to apply. Hydrating ingredients like shea butter, rosehip, grapeseed, and jojoba oils (or, in Jeté, sunflower seed oil) make the formula feel extra nourishing. We like to swipe on the lip oil by itself or wear it over a lip pencil for a little added definition.
