Tatcha is not the only brand with an overnight lip mask, and the gap between them is mostly texture. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask is the one many people start with. The Grapefruit shade is noted as sweet and refreshing, and Matcha Bubble Tea as rich, sweet and slightly herbal. Both are leave-on overnight masks with vitamin C, murumuru seed and shea butter.

fresh Sugar Recovery Lip Mask Advanced Therapy is a cream with sugar, berry wax and hyaluronic filling spheres, made for extra dry lips. Kiehl's Buttermask Intense Repair Lip Treatment can go on overnight, or you can leave it on for 15 minutes as a mask. Drunk Elephant Plump-C Tripeptide Lippe Mask has a tripeptide and a vitamin C derivative, and you can use it morning and night without rinsing.

Gisou Honey Glaze Collagen Therapy Lip Mask is a buttery honey mask for glazed shine, with a lip hugging applicator. Fenty Beauty Plush Puddin' in Barbados Cherry has a pudding-like texture with pomegranate sterols. The Nourishing Lip Sleeping Mask in Cherry + Vanilla is a melting overnight mask with vanilla and cherry extract.

A pairing tip: use the Tatcha jelly at night and one of the thicker creams here on the weekend, when I have time to let it sit.

What I would skip: layering two heavy overnight masks on the same night. They mix on your pillow and neither one gets a fair test.

This grid is the daytime side of lip masks, since many of these work in a bag as well as on a nightstand. rhode Peptide Lip Boost in Unscented is a thick, balmy mask with a tingly-yet-comfy feel, and rhode suggests a thick layer during glam, then wipe off the excess before lip color. ILIA Lip Wrap is an overnight mask with papaya enzymes, so it exfoliates as it hydrates, and ILIA says to use it no more than two times per day.

Patrick Ta Major Glow Softening Lip Masque in She's Juicy is a balm with vegan lanolin and no sticky residue. tarte maracuja juicy lip nourishing melt mask in icing is a blushed pink, caramel scented balm you click to dispense. Charlotte Tilbury Life Changing Lip Mask in Pillow Talk melts on and leaves a soft base for lipstick.

For color: fel beauty Kissylips in Translucent Pink is a peptide mask you press onto lips, and LIXR Beauty Lip Lixr in Bulgarian Rose is a rose pink tinted mask with lanolin, beeswax and argan oil. Rare Beauty Find Comfort Lip Butter Balm in Easygoing is clear and unscented, which suits anyone who dislikes flavor or scent.

To try: apply ILIA at night on a clean lip and rhode the next morning, then compare how each one feels by lunchtime.

What I would skip: an exfoliating mask on lips that are already raw. Give them a plain balm first.

Start with the job you need done. For plain overnight repair, the Tatcha Kissu jelly, LANEIGE or Kiehl's will do it. For a mask you can wear under lipstick, look at Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk or Patrick Ta She's Juicy. If you want a hint of color, LIXR or fel beauty, and if you want nothing at all, Rare Beauty Easygoing. Pick one texture and use it for a full week before switching, because lips take a few nights to show the difference. The Tatcha lip mask is where I would begin, then I would add one thicker cream when my lips feel dry.
