Fussy, lipsticked lips aren’t feeling particularly fresh this fall. Instead, we’re leaning in to lip products that have two key qualities this season: a kiss of colour and some seriously hydrating shine.
Thankfully, you can find both from a variety of brands — and at various prices — this season. Here are five of our favourite tinted lip balm formulas to keep your lips smooth all season long.
Biossance Pro-Peptide Hydrating Lip Perfector Balm
A new release for the fan-favourite brand Biossance, these tinted balms, which boast a few shade exclusives to Canada at the moment, feature ingredients like a triple-strength peptide formula, micro-encapsulated hyaluronic acid and sugarcane-derived squalane to give lips some seriously lush hydration with a hint of colour.
Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Honey Tint Balm
A tinted lip balm that feels as good on your lips as it looks in your makeup collection, this chic gold-hued tube from Guerlain is infused with honey to nourish dry lips. Featuring ingredients of 98 per cent natural origin, the KissKiss Bee Glow glides onto lips and leaves them feeling hydrated for up to 24 hours.
Rhode The Peptide Lip Tints
If it’s good enough for Hailey Bieber, odds are, it’s good enough for us too. The Bieber-backed brand’s Peptide Lip products have been a sensation on social media. And the tinted options are no different. Fragrance free and available in four shades — Ribbon, Raspberry Jelly, Toast and Espresso — we love the collect-them-all aspect of this one-and-done set.
Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Tinted Lip Balm
An affordable option that punches way above its price, this Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm packs shea butter and botanical waxes with a soft tint for quick colour on the go and up to eight hours of lip love. Plus, the perfectly petite tube fits in even the smallest of pouches for on-the-go reapplication.
Sisley Paris Phyto-Lip Balm 3 Crush
A tinted balm that boasts impressive colour payoff, the Phyto-Lip Balm from Sisley Paris plumps and provides a mix of shine and colour. With a melting texture, the formula features skin care ingredients such as shea butter, vitamin E and Padina Pavonica extract from algae to give lips a good glow and hydrating comfort.
