e.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm
A tinted balm sits between a lip balm and a lipstick. It gives a little colour and a lot of comfort, and asks almost no skill. This e.l.f. one comes in a squeeze tube and is sold as a melting balm.
What it does
A balm softens lips by covering them and slowing the water they lose; lips dry out much faster than the rest of your face. The tint adds a sheer wash of colour on top. The result looks like your lips, but better.
How to wear it
- Straight from the tube for a sheer look.
- Layer it for more colour.
- Over a lip liner if you want more shape.
- At night, a thicker layer of any balm helps dry lips recover.
Why you reapply
A balm is soft by design, so it wears off with eating and drinking. Expect to reapply through the day. If you want colour that stays, a lip stain or long-wear liquid lipstick does that better, at the cost of comfort.
Shades
Amazon lists each shade on its own page; choose yours on the listing.
Who it suits
Anyone with dry lips who wants a little colour, people who find lipstick too much, and anyone who likes a no-mirror product to throw in a bag.
What it will not do
It will not last for hours. It will not give strong, opaque colour. And it will not fix very chapped lips on its own; for those, a plain, thick balm at night helps more.
