Dior Lip Glow Oil Review: The $42 Lip Oil That Broke The Internet
Dior's Lip Glow Oil went viral in 2023 and has stayed viral ever since. As someone who has tested every lip oil on the market, I finally have a definitive answer on whether it's worth the price.

Dior Lip Glow Oil is the most beautiful lip product I've used in years. The formula, the packaging, the color-adaptive technology — it's a genuinely luxurious experience. The question is whether it's worth $42.
What It Is
A nourishing lip oil with Dior's Cherry Oil as the hero ingredient, plus a color-adaptive pigment that reacts to your lip's natural pH to create a personalized shade. Available in 14 shades. Retails for $42.
How It Performs
The texture is the best part: a lightweight, non-sticky oil that feels like nothing on the lips while delivering visible moisture and a glossy, plumped finish. The color-adaptive technology is subtle but real — the shade looks slightly different on every person who wears it.
Wear time is 2-3 hours before reapplication is needed, which is standard for a lip oil.
Is It Worth $42?
For the experience, yes. For pure function, no — there are excellent lip oils at $15-20 that deliver similar moisture. But Dior Lip Glow Oil is a luxury product, and the luxury experience is part of what you're paying for.
Final Verdict
Dior Lip Glow Oil earns its viral status. It's beautiful, it performs well, and the packaging is genuinely special. If you want to treat yourself to one luxury lip product, this is the one.
