Try all the lipsticks and shades in the world but if you have chapped and dry lips, nothing would look good! Honestly, crusty lips are such a turn off point and ruins your makeup vibe! Vogue Vocal always says that we are so thankful for the mindful beauty trends we have now! Over the years we have learned to accept the beauty of natural skin texture and Inclusivity. When it comes to beauty essentials, tinted lip balms are the MVPs. They’re versatile, hydrating, and effortlessly chic, blending skincare and makeup in one swoop. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best options to keep your lips plump, moisturized, and colorful throughout 2024.

Do we have to remind you again that you are back to the millennial era? We did not leave the house without our tinted chapstick! So let’s not forget the classic tinted chapstick, a lifesaver for no-makeup days. Affordable and effective, brands like Burt’s Bees and EOS offer tinted variations packed with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil. Girls these days have Summer Fridays Lip Balms, we had tinted chapsticks! And now in 2025, they are still a style statement!
We all love fuller lips and City Lips Lip Plumper is a game-changer! Its unique formula combines hyaluronic acid and collagen peptides to hydrate, plump, and smooth your lips instantly. It is available in shades like Nude Illusion and Pink Taupe. This tinted balm doubles as a treatment and a subtle lip color.
Tip: Pair it with MAC Lip Gloss for a dramatic, high-shine effect. You got yourself some Kylie Lips there!
A cult favorite in the beauty industry, MAC lip gloss is known for its high-shine finish and impressive staying power. But did you know it also doubles as a tinted lip balm?
The nourishing formula keeps your lips hydrated while delivering a vibrant pop of color. With shades from soft pinks to bold reds, there’s a MAC lip gloss for every occasion. Plus, what we really love is the convenient applicator ensures a precise application every time.
Tinted lip balms are more than just a beauty trend, they’re a practical addition to any beauty routine. Like we said, chapped lips on a full glam makeup are a crime! Whether you’re running errands, heading to the gym, or attending a brunch, a swipe of tinted lip balm keeps your lips looking polished without the fuss of lipstick. And if you’re someone who loves layering, these balms work beautifully over a lip liner for a more defined yet natural look.Here’s why:
⇨ Hydration Meets Color: Unlike traditional lipsticks, tinted balms nourish your lips while adding a natural flush of color. This is especially important for winter months when lips are prone to dryness.
⇨ Convenience: Easy to apply without a mirror, these balms are perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
⇨ Versatility: From sheer pinks to bold browns, there are so many shades to pick from!
Now, with a sea of lip products available, it is natural to wonder which one to choose!
⇨ Ingredients: Look for hydrating elements like hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and peptides.
⇨ Shade Range: We are all familiar with the color theory now! So, opt for versatile colors that complement your natural lip tone.
⇨ Finish: Decide between matte, glossy, or a subtle sheen depending on your preference.
⇨ Multi-Tasking: Who has the time and money for multiple products? Products like the Rhode Lip Tint or City Lips Lip Plumper offer additional benefits, such as plumping and exfoliation.
⇨ Skin Tone: Pick shades that complement your natural lip color. For example, berry tones work well for deeper skin tones, while soft pinks are ideal for lighter complexions.
⇨ Packaging: Consider the convenience of the packaging. Tube balms are great for precise application, while pot balms are better for at-home use.
Is it a science? No! But an art for sure! It might seem really simple but there’s so much more to it!
⇨ Exfoliate: Start with a gentle lip scrub to remove any dry or flaky skin. This ensures a smooth application.
⇨ Layering: For a more defined look, apply a lip liner before adding the balm. Pick the lip liner that is close to your natural lip color!
⇨ Reapply: Tinted lip balms are not as long-lasting as traditional lipsticks, so make sure to reapply. That’s just how the cool girls roll!
