The Best Lip Masks of 2024 for a Softer, Smoother Pout

When it comes to achieving—and maintaining— a hydrated pout, I swear by the Dermelect Smooth & Supple Lip Mask Melt, which effortlessly melts into lips upon application. Its rich, velvety texture and nourishing formula, which features ingredients like antioxidant-packed berries and moisturizing jojoba oil, are especially noteworthy. I especially love its subtly sheer pink hue: perfect for a no-makeup makeup look.

Designed to work while you snooze, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is TikTok-famous for good reason. Despite its ultra-nourishing formula—complete with moisturizing powerhouses like coconut oil and murumuru seed and shea butters—the texture is surprisingly lightweight, you’ll almost forget it’s on your lips! It’s even enriched with vitamin C to fight free radicals. Although the original version is a tired-and-true classic, shoppers can choose a slew of fun color scent options such as Sweet Candy and Gummy Bear, in fun colors like pink and purple.

This replenishing overnight lip mask lasts for—you guessed it—up to 12 hours. It’s packed with staples like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, along with moisture-locking glycerin, fatty acid-rich castor oil, restorative vitamin E, and conditioning ceramides. Its rich, buttery texture is just the icing on the proverbial cake. Simply squeeze out your desired amount, apply, et voila.

Enhance your PM skincare routine with this overnight lip mask from PCA Skin. This deeply hydrating leave-on treatment works while you sleep, leaving lips looking and feeling softer and smoother upon waking up in the morning. Its powerful formula features shea butter, vitamin E, coconut oil, and squalane to heal cracked, chapped pouts.

Clocking in at just $7, this drugstore-favorite lip mask is a total steal (I’ll take 10, plz). Its non-sticky, oh-so-silky vegan formula helps hydrate, moisturize, and condition thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and castor seed oil, respectively. The lip mask can be worn solo overnight or layered under other lip products, including glosses and balms.

Tatcha’s The Kissu Lip Mask stands out for its unique jelly-like texture and glossy finish. Additionally, it’s designed to work all day—or overnight, depending on your preferences—to hydrate, smooth, and even plump pouts, all while softening and smoothing. It’s powered by natural ingredients like Japanese camellia oil (aka Tsubaki), which is loaded with vitamins and fatty acids. Meanwhile, the gorgeous golden applicator adds an extra-luxe touch.

A TQE editor favorite, ILIA is known for its skincare-infused makeup staples—and the brand’s overnight lip mask is no exception. Think of this dual-action mask as a facial but for your lips: It sloughs away dry, flaky, and dead skin courtesy of exfoliating papaya enzymes to reveal smoother, softer lips. Moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid helps provide long-lasting hydration, as well. Other ingredient highlights include moisturizing mango and shea butters, along with fatty acid-packed castor and coconut oils.

As demonstrated by her smash hits, iconic style, and uber-popular beauty brand, Rihanna can do no wrong, which makes sense as to why her brand’s lip mask is among our favorites. As you can guess by its name, the Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask has a unique pudding-like texture to lather lips in a nourishing formula made with coconut and castor oils plus an innovative pomegranate and jojoba oil complex to firm and plump. The addition of pomegranate sterols, meanwhile, helps boost hydration even further.

The RMS Beauty Lipnights Overnight Lip Mask provides up to 24 hours of intense hydration, antioxidant protection, and barrier repair. That’s because it’s spiked with ingredients like vitamin C-rich kakadu plum seed oil, plumping peptides, fatty acid-rich sunflower seed oil, and conditioning shea butter. Also, keep in mind that this multipurpose product can also be used to prep lips for gloss, balms, stains, or sticks: All you need to do is apply, leave on for 15 minutes, and blot with a tissue. Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention the vanilla bean flavor and fragrance.

The GrandePOUT Plumping Lip Mask is one of (very) few lip masks on the market that also works to visibly plump lips. Oh, and did we also mention it’s formulated to lock in moisture for up to 72 hours? Hydrating hyaluronic acid, vitamin C-rich lychee extract, and soothing shea butter are just a few of the many beneficial ingredients featured in this innovative formula. The color, named Berry Mojito, is a beautiful sheer pink with a satin finish.
