However you choose to wear lip tint, it’s an effortlessly gorgeous option and so easy to reapply during the day. Plus, you'll never need to worry that it's transferred onto your teeth.

It’s debatable! “I’m personally addicted to keeping my own lips moisturized, and I’m aware that the more I use balms, the more my lips may feel as if they’re dependent on that daily or hourly swipe of moisture,” says de los Reyes. “This is why it’s important to go for products that will nourish and moisturize your lips if you apply your lip balms habitually — this way, if you do over-use, would it really be so wrong?” And although all seven of the hues will saturate lips with a shiny tint, we're particularly drawn to McGrath's more neutral options. "I personally love the shade Blow Up for a lavish and alluring glow that accentuates the natural color of my lips," says Hyman, of the creamy peachy coral color that glides on smoothly with a dewy finish. The silky, smooth and lightweight formula contains six highly nourishing natural oils for ultimate comfort, wearability, and out of this world shine.

Loud reds and bright pinks are nice but are really hard to make with natural colorants. Natural Colorants This deep nude color transitions beautifully from day to night," she says. "The formula gives lips a blushing effect of color, instead of being highly pigmented. As a sufferer of dry lips, I also appreciate this formula's buttery consistency. It leaves my lips hydrated, and plump."

The opacity of your tinted lip balm is a personal preference — do you want a balm that is super sheer with just a hint of color, or something that’s a little more buildable? Look for ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E, which can be found in majority of these lip balms on this list, to make the most of your lippie. We loved the texture of this balm — it’s not too waxy but not too slippery either, and it stayed on our lips for a solid amount of time. It hydrated our lips after just one application (so we didn't find ourselves needing to constantly reapply throughout the day, except when we wanted a bit more color) and left them soft long after we swiped it on.The sheer, lightweight colour is comfortable to wear, and fades out evenly with no patchy look. There’s no fiddly lip liner or blotting required either - just swipe it on and go. As well as requiring zero makeup skills, some lip tints also contain UVA and UVB screens to protect this thin, delicate area.

I get most of myideas for DIYs when I am walking down the aisles of thegrocery store. I always take a walk down the cosmetics aisle just to see what is new.Melt beeswax and cocoa butter in a double boiler. (I use a glass Pyrex® mixing bowl in a saucepan of boiling water.) I make a double batch of these because I like to hand them out as gifts. Further, I also store any extras in a cool, dry place for year-round use. The lip balm is pretty hard, so it will stay solid unless left in the sun.

The first time we tried these tinted lip balms, we were teenagers, but it was love at first swipe. These little drugstore numbers deliver a surprisingly vibrant color payoff, especially considering how affordable they are. And every one of the nine shades somehow looks great on our lips — and we tested them on skin tones ranging from the very light to the very deep, and they were flattering for all. This simple, fun DIY tinted lip balm recipe includes the base recipe and instructions for 3 tint colors: maroon, deep red, and brownish pink. Word to the wise: The round bullet means you definitely need a mirror to apply this one. And the buttery formula makes it a bit slippery. If you do mess up, though — happens to the best of us — it’s easy to wipe away without ruining the rest of your makeup. It just doesn’t get more iconic than the Dior Addict Lip Glow. I mean, are you even an It Girl if you don’t have this floating around somewhere in your purse? I tend to opt for a lip balm that can give me a wash of color yet buildable enough for a sheer-medium coverage,” says de los Reyes. “This allows me just enough color while keeping the natural nuance of the lip visible.”We love that some of the hues come with a bit of subtle shimmer, which can look very sexy when done right. And all of the colors are very wearable, although none are super bold or bright. Each shade offers a sheer wash of color in a way that might be hard for anyone to tell if you have a lip product on or not. In other words, they look very natural on the lips. But if you’re looking for a tinted lip balm with lots of color, keep scrolling for our favorite options for maximum color payoff. For this recipe, I chose cocoa butter as my hard oil because it already has a great light brown color and it is wonderfully moisturizing. Cocoa butter moisturizes skin and provides a protective barrier as well.
