Lip colour and care, from balm to bold
Great lip colour starts with healthy lips. Whatever you’re reaching for — a nourishing balm, a sheer tint, a glossy shine or a full-pigment lipstick — smooth, hydrated lips let colour sit evenly and last longer. Gentle exfoliation and a regular balm keep flaking and dryness at bay, and a balm with SPF protects year-round. For colour, think about finish and occasion: tints and balms give easy, low-commitment wear, satins and creams add polish, and mattes deliver bold, long-lasting definition. If your lips are prone to dryness, lean toward hydrating or satin formulas, and keep a balm handy to refresh through the day.
Category questions
How do I heal dry, chapped lips?
Apply a plain, non-irritating balm or ointment several times a day and before bed — thicker ointments such as petroleum jelly seal in moisture longest. Avoid flavoured or menthol-heavy balms, which can irritate, and try not to lick or pick at lips. Dermatologists note most chapped lips improve within two to three weeks of consistent care.
Should lip balm have SPF?
Ideally, yes. Lip skin is thin and burns easily, yet it’s often left unprotected. A balm with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher helps shield against sun damage and prevents dryness, and it’s worth wearing year-round — including winter — as UV exposure isn’t limited to bright, sunny days.
What's the difference between a lip tint, gloss and lipstick?
Lipstick gives the most pigment and a set finish (matte, satin or cream) with the best staying power. Tints deliver sheer, natural colour that is easy to wear and forgiving to apply. Gloss adds shine and dimension, often layered over other colour, but tends to feel lighter and needs more frequent reapplication.
