7 Best Dior Lip Oil Dupes, Tested and Reviewed for 2023

At $8.99, this is the cheapest Dior Lip Oil dupe on the list…and it happens to be one of my favorites. NYX’s Fat Oil Lip Drip’s formula is slightly less thick and glossy than Dior’s, but I actually kind of prefer that—especially if you’re layering it on top of an existing lipstick or lip liner. It comes in eight different shades, but “Missed Call”—it’s the ultra-sheer pale pink tint shown here—is nearly an exact match for Dior’s “001 Pink”.

I bet if you swiped Fenty’s Lip Oil and Dior’s Lip Oil on blindfolded you wouldn’t know the difference…because I honestly couldn’t tell. Both have doefoot applicators that are pretty much the exact same shape and size and both have thick, glossy textures that feel nearly identical on lips. They even have the same hero ingredient—sweet cherry seed oil—which is prized for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. The only real difference is the scent; Fenty’s has a sweet cherry scent and Dior’s smells slightly minty.

A greener alternative to Dior’s Lip Oil, this vegan, plant-based dupe from clean beauty brand Merit is made with squalane and quinoa seed oil to moisturize your lips and leave them with a non-sticky sheen. In my opinion, Merit’s formula soaks into lips a bit better than Dior’s, but it’s not as plush and glossy as the original. As for the shades, Merit comes in four sheer options; “Mapleton”, shown here, is a gorgeous brown tint that’s similar to Dior’s 020 Mahogany.

Tester’s love Dior’s lip oil for that ultra-glossy, mirror-like finish…and I’m happy to report that Ami Cole’s lip oil creates the exact same effect on lips for quite literally half the price. This one comes in four ultra-shiny shades (including a clear, rosy brown, light pink, and bright pink) and one shimmery nude with gold flecks.

Dior’s Lip Oil and Innbeauty Project’s Glaze Lip Oil are incredibly similar…the only difference is the level of tint. Innbeauty’s lip oil is more opaque than the Dior’s, so it’s a great alternative for anyone who wants a little bit more color on their lips. Don’t get me wrong, the formula is still sheer and juicy, but wears more like a lip stain with a glossy finish than a lip oil IMO.

Clarins’ and Dior’s lip oil are incredibly similar (the applicator, the shade range, the color payoff) but, in my experience, Clarins’ is actually a bit more moisturizing than Dior’s, thanks to a blend of jojoba oil, sweetbriar rose oil, and hazelnut oil in the formula. It really nourishes lips and locks in moisture—especially during the winter months—but because it is a bit more oil-heavy than Dior’s, I find that the Clarins formula tends to slide around my lips where the Dior one really stays in place.

A favorite Dior lip oil dupe among beauty editors and TikTokers, Lady Gaga’s PhD Hybrid Lip Oil Tint has a similar look and feel to Dior’s, except the formula is a bit thinner and less sticky than the original. The tints, while sheer, do show up a bit more on lips too—especially the “Primary” shade shown here.
