The Just-Bitten-Lips Finish, Minus the Stickiness

A light oil with a subtle red tint that absorbs rather than sitting on top. The finish reads as 'just bitten lips' - a soft, fresh-looking glow that is a step away from a gloss.

Key benefits

• Plumping appearance - smooths and hydrates for a fuller, softer look
• Subtle red tint - a just-bitten flush rather than an obvious lip colour
• Deep moisture - mineral oil conditions the lip instead of coating it
• Absorbs rather than sitting on top - which is why it does not feel sticky

Ingredients and what they do

Mineral Oil (emollient that conditions and softens), Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer (the film former that gives the lasting shine without stickiness), colourants.

How to use

1. Start with clean, dry lips.
2. Apply a thin layer with the doe-foot applicator and let it absorb.
3. Layer more in the evening for an overnight conditioning treatment.

Who it is for

Suited to: Anyone who wants a soft, freshly-bitten look with a real hint of colour, and anyone who finds gloss too sticky.
Not suited to: If you want a matte finish or a completely colourless lip.

What to expect

• Immediately: a soft sheen with a subtle flush.
• After 10 minutes: it has absorbed and the lips look smoother and fuller.
• Evening use: overnight conditioning.

Frequently asked questions

Does it actually make lips look bigger?

It visually plumps by smoothing and adding gloss. It does not change lip structure.

Is it sticky?

No - it is a light oil, not a heavy gloss. It absorbs rather than sitting on top.

What shade is it?

A subtle red tint that reads as 'just bitten lips' rather than a lipstick colour.

Can I layer it over a lip liner?

Yes, and it softens the line while adding the sheen.

Questions people ask us most

Do lip plumpers work?

Temporarily and mildly. They cause controlled swelling for 15-60 minutes, they work best on already-hydrated lips, and they are not worth it on irritated or swollen lips. A hydrating oil gives a plumper look without any of the tingle.

What does a red lip oil look like?

A tinted oil with a sheer red wash that reads as a just-bitten flush rather than a lipstick. On fair skin it is a soft rosy stain, on deeper skin it is a warm red that looks fresh rather than bold.

Is it sticky?

No - the mineral oil base keeps it light and it absorbs quickly. It is the reason this works as a lip oil rather than a gloss.

Can I layer it over lipstick?

Yes, though it is designed to be used on bare lips. Over a matte lipstick it softens the finish and takes the harsh edge off.

Is it vegan and cruelty free?

Yes. It is formulated without animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.
