With winters drawing closer and closer, choosing extra-moisturising, nourishing, and hydrating self-care products becomes the need of the hour. The two main concerns that one needs to look out for are dry skin, and chapped lips. You need products that are rich in hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, that are not sticky, and give you that ultimate surge of moisture. For an everyday look, having a solid tub of moisturiser, (sunscreen is a given) and a good tinted lip balm is the holy combo. You need your skin to look glowy and dewy, and chapped, dry lips can be the ruin of that ideal. You need moisturisation as well as that flush of colour on your lips, plus, for folks who don't like wearing lipstick on a regular basis, tinted lip balm might be the ultimate product that you really need to get right. So here are 10 of the best-tinted lip balms available on the market that hydrate, protect, and plump your lips, while giving them that juicy, glossy feel.
10 Best Tinted Lip Balms Hydration Girlies Swear By
Bobbi Brown New Extra Lip Tint - Bare Raspberry (Lip Balm)
Bobbi Brown has a cult following for their lip products, and though on the pricier side, their formulation makes them worth every penny. This 'Extra Lip Tint' is infused with jojoba oil, avocado oil, and olive oil, and has plumping peptide technology that will make your lips look soft, smooth, and moisturised. The finish of this shade is also extremely sheer and will be a perfect everyday shade, plus you have the option of choosing from nine other shades as well as per your colour preference.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Hydrating Core Lip Shine - Joyful
e.l.f is a dupe generator and we all love the brand for that. They constantly deliver close alternatives of high-end products, with similar or better formulations, and this one is a tried and tested dupe of Clinique's Black Honey lipstick. This tinted lip balm with a hydrating heart-shaped core gives absolute hydration and moisture. It pays off a very pretty sheer tint, similar to the Black Honey, and is available in eight shades that are all perfect for every day, and obviously is way more economical.
Dot & Key Gloss Boss Tinted Lip Balm SPF 30 Vitamin C + E - Strawberry Crush
We love it when lip care has SPF infused in it, and this one from Dot & Key has the SPF 30, along with vitamins E and C. This tinted lip balm heals the lips, helps them to retain their moisture, and smoothens and plumps them with the most juicy feel. The gloss effect of this lip balm is what we absolutely love, and it is pretty long lasting and takes care of the pigmentation, too.
Blue Heaven Jelly & Butter Hydrating Lip Balm - Dusty Rose
Blue Heaven is a brand that keeps surprising everyone with their unique products, and has been packing the punch stronger than ever with their recent creations. This hydrating jelly went absolutely viral, because of the heart-shaped balm in the centre and the pretty colour around it. It is enriched with jojoba oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. The shade range is impressive as well and gives you the most beautiful sheer tint, which also smoothens and nourishes the lips.
Benefit Cosmetics California Kissin' Colorbalm - 300 Rosewood
Benefit is the OG brand when it comes to tints. Their Benetint remains the most sought-after till now, and though that is great, if you want that balm feel and care with the most flattering colour, this colour balm is totally worth a shot. It is available in 12 beautiful shades and feels like lipstick that is super hydrating and lightweight, with the highest colour pigment.
NIVEA Tinted Lip Balm - Fruity Pomegranate
Nivea is a childhood favourite, that still holds the same regard and love for us. With a strong glide application, a colour that you can build on, and moisture and hydration that softens and smoothens the lips, this is such a bankable product and honestly should be a part of one's vanity. They have seven more shades, and each shade is a beautiful as the other.
DIOR Addict Lip Glow - 007 - Raspberry
For folks who have a little extra penny to spend on their everyday tinted lip balm, the DIOR Addict Lip Glow is a product that is truly worth the investment. It gives the effect of the lip gloss and gives the most hydrated, nourished lips, that look plump and shiny. It has cherry oil, shea butter, and sunflower and rice waxes that protect and soften the lips, and all six shades are very pretty, with a dewy finish.
Faces Canada Color Balm - Rose Petal
Faces Canada has great quality products that are affordable too. Their tinted lip balm contains SPF 15, rose extracts, shea butter, and vitamin E, which hydrates the lips, prevent discolouration, and keeps the lips plump. And though available in three shades, all three are on the spectrum of pink and reds, making them extremely wearable, and all in all, a good product for the buck.
