Ultralip

"Lipstick that feels like a balm and doesn't ask much of you. Very sweatpants energy."

Our take
$22 Price at Glossier, checked Oct 2026.
The short answer

Ultralip is a sheer-to-buildable lipstick with balm-like moisture and a glossy sheen. It's worth it if you want easy, low-effort color that feels comfortable all day. If you want matte or long-wear color, this isn't it.

What it is

Ultralip is a one-step lipstick that combines the moisture of a balm, the sheen of a gloss and the buildable color of a tint. A triple-oil blend keeps lips feeling soft and quenched.

  • Key ingredients: meadowfoam, jojoba and watermelon seed oils plus four molecular weights of hyaluronic acid
  • Sheer-to-buildable color with high shine
  • 3.0 g bullet
  • Vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologist tested
How to use
Swipe once for a sheer wash of color, or two to three times for a bolder look.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
One swipe gives a wash of color, a few more give something bolder, so one shade covers a lot of moods. The triple-oil blend keeps lips feeling soft instead of dry.
Skip it if
You want bold color that lasts through lunch without reapplying.
The catch
Like most balmy lipsticks, it fades with eating and drinking, so plan to reapply. At 3 g, the bullet is on the small side.
