- Tinted lip balm is a great way to add a little color to your face without drying out your lips.
- Our top pick, Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm, is an enduring classic that combines the brand's classic hydrating formula with a shot of pigment.
Tinted lip balms are an enduring staple in my life. They're just so easy to wear, and they barely count as makeup. You can apply a tinted balm without a stitch of additional product on your face without it looking weird. The effect is more like, "What? My lips are just naturally flushed this perfect shade of violet!"
Unlike traditional lipsticks or even lip stains, tinted balms have all the moisturizing power of clear balms, but they're dosed with a hint of pigment. Some are more intense than others, but they're all comfortable to wear and relatively subtle, and they repair your lips instead of causing further damage.
It's the perfect option for days when you feel chapped but still wanted to brighten up your complexion with some color.
The best formulas don't compromise on ingredients for the sake of a look. Packed with ingredients like vitamin E, cocoa butter, and oils, our top picks are nourishing and fun to wear.
