When it comes to lip products, we all know the OG – lipstick. It’s been a staple in makeup kits for generations, promising color, drama, and confidence in a swipe. But in recent years, there’s been a noticeable shift – and it’s not just a passing trend. Gen Z is rewriting the rules of beauty, and at the forefront of this transformation is the rise of lip oils.
So… what’s really better? Let’s talk lipstick vs lip oil – not to pick a side, but to help you choose what actually works best for you.
💄 The Classic Lipstick: Power Meets Pigment
There’s no denying the legacy of a good lipstick. Bold, pigmented, and statement-making – lipsticks can elevate any look in seconds. From matte to satin to glossy finishes, they come in endless shades and formulations. But while they offer high-impact color, many traditional lipsticks tend to:
-
Dry out the lips over time
-
Settle into fine lines
-
Require touch-ups after meals
-
Often contain synthetic dyes or fragrances
They’ve got power, no doubt. But in today’s beauty climate, power alone isn’t enough.
💧 The Rise of Lip Oils: Beauty That Loves You Back
Enter lip oils – the multitasking marvels that merge skincare with makeup. Think of them as the hybrid child of a lip gloss and a serum. Unlike glosses, they’re non-sticky. Unlike lip balms, they offer a natural tint. And unlike most lipsticks, they nourish your lips from within.
Why Gen Z is loving them?
Because they’re real, minimal, and intentional. Lip oils hydrate, protect, and tint – without the drama. It’s beauty that works with your skin, not against it.
🌿 Why Gen Z Is Choosing Nourishing Lip Oils Over Lipsticks
-
Skin First, Always:
Gen Z is skincare-obsessed – and rightfully so. We’ve realized makeup should enhance our natural beauty, not cover it up. Lip oils deliver hydration, nourishment, and a glow, making them the go-to for that effortless “clean girl” aesthetic. -
No-Makeup Makeup Wins:
Heavy, caked-on looks are out. Fresh, dewy skin and soft tinted lips are in. Lip oils offer a soft wash of color with a glossy finish, perfect for daily wear. -
Conscious Choices:
Today’s beauty lovers care about what’s inside their products – and the impact they leave behind. Raoni’s lip oils are vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with cherry seed oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E – all skin-loving ingredients that actually care for your lips. -
Multi-Tasking = Life:
Why carry five different lip products when one lip oil can do it all? Moisturize, tint, gloss, and heal – all in one swipe. That’s peak Gen Z efficiency.
💬 So... Lipstick or Lip Oil?
There’s a time and place for both. But if you’re someone who’s into natural glow, real hydration, and effortless beauty, then lip oils are calling your name.
