If you're anything like me, you love to sprinkle a bit of magic into your everyday routine. I truly believe that small, simple additions to everyday life, like a stunning lip product, can elevate your mood and make your day feel a little more special. That’s why I wanted to share a lip product I’ve been using for years, one that makes me feel put together and pretty!

What Makes the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils So Special?

Let’s talk about what sets these lip oils apart from the rest. First off, the formula is absolutely beautiful. It’s light and cushiony, never sticky, and provides just the right amount of gloss without feeling heavy. When I first apply it, I get that pretty and glossy look, but what I love most is how it leaves a soft tint, long after the gloss fades. No more reapplying every hour—just a fresh, natural pop of color that lasts throughout the day.

This lip oil is perfect for those of us who love a minimal makeup look, or for anyone who’s looking for a quick and easy way to add a touch of color without the fuss. It’s the kind of product that makes you feel put together, even on the busiest days.

Shade Breakdown: Every Color + Swatches

Wonder

My absolute favorite! I’ve repurchased this shade specifically several times and it is one of my go-to everyday lip colors. Wonder is a warm, rosy mauve that is both subtle and vibrant at the same time. It’s that perfect "my lips but better" shade. It gives me a soft, flushed look that feels fresh and effortless. I find that this shade works for almost any occasion—whether I’m running errands, doing a quick Zoom call, or heading out for brunch. It’s my go-to for an easy, chic vibe.

Hope

Hope is the perfect everyday nude mauve shade. It's soft, mauve-y, and slightly cool-toned—ideal if you’re into barely-there lip colors with a hint of polish. Neutral and pretty.

Delight

Delight gives a muted berry tint that’s subtle yet sophisticated. I love this one for cooler months or when I want a bit more depth to my lip color without it feeling too dramatic.

Affection

Affection is bold but wearable. It gives that rich, sultry tint that feels just right for nights out or when I want to add a little bold moment to an otherwise simple look. 

Happy

Happy is your go-to if you love a bright, cheerful pop of color. It’s a cool-toned pink that instantly uplifts and brightens your makeup look. Great for spring and summer or days you just want to add a pop of pink to your look.

Joy

For peachy vibes, Joy is your shade. This muted peach adds a stunning wash of color for spring and summer makeup looks.

Honesty

Honesty is an everyday nude brown shade with a touch of warmth. Wear a single layer for a soft finish or layer it for a bolder pop of color.

Serenity

Serenity is a warm rose shade. I layered a couple swipes of this shade and it gives a beautiful pinky rose moment.

Formula and Applicator

The texture of these tinted lip oils is unique with the gel feel that transforms into a lip oil once you apply it on your lips. The plush flat angled doe foot applicator glides on so easily, and the formula feels comfortable to wear all day long. The hydrating formula starts out looking glossy (and non sticky!) but as the day goes on, it settles into a pretty tint. Wear one swipe for a beautiful wash of color or layer it up for a bolder look. If you want a bit more structure, you can pair this tinted lip balm with a lip liner.

How I Use Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils in My Everyday Routine

These have become my go-to in so many everyday moments:

  • Work from home days: I am that work from home girlie that lives in her comfortable loungewear, often rocking a messy bun locked in with a cute claw clip but a swipe of this tinted lip oil makes me feel more put together.
  • Zoom calls or quick meetings: The shade Wonder paired with a volumizing and lengthening mascara always gives me an effortless makeup look.
  • Weekend errands: Wearing a single swipe for a soft wash of color or layering this tinted lip oil elevates my makeup look without doing a full face, perfect for when I’m out and about.
  • Nights out and travel adventures: As someone who isn’t a fan of having to reapply makeup throughout the day, makeup products like this tinted lip oil is a must for nights out or when I’m packing makeup for travel. It’s a no fuss product that wears off by leaving a pretty tint throughout the day.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

As someone who’s repurchased my most used shade multiple times, yes. These lip oils have everything I want in a daily lip product: easy to apply, flattering shades, a hydrating feel, and a tint that stays around long after the gloss is gone. If you’re someone who loves a minimalist approach to beauty or wants to add a bit more intentional care to your daily routine, this product is so worth it.
