Lipstick is one the oldest and, to this day, remains the most popular make-up product on the market. A 2019 study even proved this, with lipstick coming out on top as the most purchased item by respondents at 59.1%. But this beauty staple needs to watch its back because tinted lip balm is coming for that number-one spot.
On-the-go colour
There are many reasons why lip colour is so universally loved, ranging from being an act of social rebellion to giving your lips life as they fade with age. While there used to be limited lipstick shades in roll-up tubes, there are now an endless variety of finishes and formulas – from matte to metallic to glossy – so everyone’s preference is catered for.

The problem with lipstick is that it can be difficult to apply. Most people need access to a mirror in order to apply it flawlessly and some tissues for dabbing. This is why lip balm with a tint is the best way to colour your lips on the go.

Tinted lip balm is great because they come in a range of flattering shades and can be applied just like a regular lip balm – no mirror required! And they don’t just deliver in the colour-pay-off department either. They also have the nourishing benefits of a regular lip balm, giving you skincare and make-up in one product.

By reapplying your tinted lip balm every few hours to revive your colour, you are also giving your lips a moisture boost. This is necessary to keep them healthy so that they look good with and without lip products. While they don’t offer the same vibrancy of a long-wear lipstick, they provide a more subtle shade that looks polished and brings any look together.
