These lip balms moisturize lips and leave a gorgeous hint of colour (like your lips, but better!). Wear them on their own, or to prep for lipstick. For a DIY lipstain, just apply lipliner and then one layer of lipbalm. Blot with one ply tissue and you’re ready to go!   

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm  

Burt’s Bees is always included in beauty lists for best lip balms, because TBH, they are really really good. The beeswax, shea butter and plant oils will keep your lips soft and smooth. The colours also show up well even on dark lips. We love Red Dahlia, this sheer berry shade!

Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm

Everyone should try this lip balm at least once. It’s got the cutest vintage tin packaging, and the rose jelly formula gives your lips a healthy, natural flush. We also like the hint of peppermint oil – so tingly, and (literally and figuratively) very cool.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm

This is the kinder, softer and more comfortable version of matte lipstick. It contains moisturizing butters but still delivers an opaque, matte finish. Pick from a wide variety of colours, and layer them to create your own shade!

One of the best lip balms ever! It’s won so many beauty awards and is included in so many Top 10 lists that it should be in the lip balm hall of fame. Aside from the moisturizing ingredients, it has SPF 15 – because your lips need sun protection, too.

Etude House Lip Rich Vivid Tint

If you’re looking for very bright colours, this lipstick-lip balm hybrid is perfect for you. It goes on smoothly on dry and chapped lips, and comes in very pigmented red shades. And when we say pigmented, we mean really pigmented. It’s just as bright and intense as regular lipsticks!

Beauty tip: apply just a few dots on your lips and blend it out with your finger to achieve a gradiant lip.
