Personal appearances take on a different meaning these days: being on cam. For those sudden zoom calls, facetime with friends, or even just days that call for a selfie, we present you these seven juicy, dewy tinted balms and glosses-find the one for you among different finishes and hues for that instant-glow up.
The OG
Color-adjusting, comfortable, and perfectly balmy, the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm comes with a new formula that includes additional cherry oils for maximum lip care, plus three new shades-Cherry, a gourmet red hue; Mahogany, a luminous chocolate shade; and Universal Clear, a great all-around base and neutral option for those who prefer to opt out of color.
Extra Juicy
For those who prefer gloss on the Y2K level of shine, Filipino beauty brand Colourette has been stepping up their formula game when it comes to nourishing and flattering lip products that are thoughtfully priced. The company's Colourbalm also comes in four fruity-flavoured shades in a nostalgic squeezy tube packaging. There’s a color for everyone from sheer deep berry Tropic to fan favorite Morena, and the pigment is just enough so you can wear it in one tinted layer or you can build it up for a full, thick gloss look. If a pure lip treatment is what you’re looking for, cult fave Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a clear, glossy balm that you can wear over lipstick or wear to bed for softer, pampered lips overnight.
Subtle Hint of Tint
If you love just a subtle wash of color on your both lips and cheeks but prefer a nourishing product, Olio e Osso’s multi-use balms are easily portable and user-friendly. It comes in a handy, wider pocket size that makes for easy one-swipe application. If you prefer a lip-focused product Bobbi Brown’s Extra Lip Tint is the perfect lip base or tinted lip balm. The texture is balmy and the finish is not extremely shiny nor pigmented so it’s reapplication-friendly, plus it can also be used as cheek and eye color.
The Perfect MLBB
Guerlain’s Kiss Kiss Shine Bloom comes in several my-lips-but-better shades that apply just the perfect balance of color and shine. It’s packaged beautifully as well so it’s not just functional but also a cute addition to your desk.
For the Lipstick Lover
For the true-blue lipstick devotees, NARS Soft Matte Tinted Lip Balm is a more opaque lip care product that comes in muted, natural shades. It swipes on with full but subtle coverage, and keeps the lips hydrated minus the intense gloss.
