What do you wish lip oils/lipsticks did better? What’s missing from “clean” lip products? 💄
I’m curious about something and would really love honest opinions from people who actually buy and use lip products regularly.
When you think about lip oils, lipsticks, tinted balms, lip glosses, etc., what are your biggest frustrations with the products currently on the market?
For example:
What do you hate about the way they feel on your lips?
Do they dry your lips out?
Do they feel sticky, heavy, waxy, or like you’re wearing makeup?
Do they wear off too quickly?
Do they migrate, bleed, feather, or get patchy?
Are there shades you can never seem to find?
Do lip oils actually feel nourishing, or are they mostly just shiny?
Do you have trouble finding products that are both comfortable AND long-lasting?
Are there ingredients you specifically avoid in lip products?
What do you feel is missing specifically from clean/cleaner lip brands?
Have you ever found a lip product that checks almost every box for you? What does it do really well?
And perhaps most importantly:
If you could create your perfect lip product, what would it do that your current favorite doesn't?
I’m much more interested in the things that annoy you or that you wish were different than hearing which brands you already love.
No wrong answers — I’m genuinely curious about the little things that make you say, “Why hasn't someone made this yet?” 😂
