If TikTok is any indication of what’s going on in the makeup world, then Nyx’s Fat Oil Lip Drip Vegan Lip Oil is a game-changer. It’s giving other lip oils a run for their money and, as a result, has become the #1 best-seller for “Beauty & Personal Care” new releases on Amazon. To see if the product lives up to the hype, our WWD Shop editors put the Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip to the test for an honest review.
Infused with vegan squalane, raspberry oil, and cloudberry oil, Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip Vegan Lip Oil creates a lipid barrier that stops the skin from losing natural moisture, ensuring 12 hours of nourishment and protection. Additionally, the product features a “FAT” applicator, which delivers amazing results with just one swipe. The lip oil comes in eight universally-flattering shades from ‘My Main’ to ‘Supermodel,’ two of TikTok’s favorite hues, to complement a wide range of looks.

NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip Review
I’m all for the lip oil craze that’s happening right now: Lip oils are a breeze to apply, impart serious shine, and hydrate your lips while they’re at it. But many popular lip oils on the market aren’t exactly wallet-friendly — and for someone who won’t leave the house without at least three lip products, that adds up. With eight shades to choose from and a $9 price tag, NYX’s Fat Oil Lip Drip piqued my interest.
When I opened up Nyx’s Fat Oil Lip Drip Vegan Lip Oil, the extra-large doe foot wand caught my attention immediately. The chubby wand delivers more product than I needed to coat my lips, but those with larger lips will love the one-swipe ease of application. As for the feel of the lip oil, consider me blown away. For an under $10 formula, one swipe of this lip oil feels as cushiony and hydrating as the pricey options I’ve tried. The formula began to feel tacky when I doubled up with another layer, so I recommend sticking with one coat if you’re after a weightless feel.
As for the color payoff, expect the shades to sheer down into a tinted balm-like finish. Although Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip is more pigmented than other lip oils, the shades still have a good amount of translucency for a glossy look. During my testing period, the moisturizing properties and high-shine finish lasted for about three hours — a feat for a product this budget-friendly.
