How we score →Yay
4 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Dior's lip oil has a drugstore lookalike that gurus say stands on its own: minty, cushiony and never sticky, with an applicator that earns its own praise. The catch is sheerness, since the red shade comes out very sheer, and the plumping splits opinion, strong to some and barely there for others. Nude shades get a nod if you like shimmer over glitter.
