Tinted lip balm, gloss or oil are ideal for effortless everyday wear, offering hydration and a hint of colour for Lusaka’s daytime heat. Here’s how to choose the right one for you and pick a flattering shade.
What’s the difference between tinted balm, gloss and oil?
- Tinted lip balm: Lightly hydrates with a sheer wash of colour. Perfect for a natural, low-maintenance look.
- Lip gloss: Adds shine and a subtle tint. Great for a polished finish but may need reapplication.
- Lip oil: Combines hydration with a glossy finish. Ideal for dry lips with a lightweight feel.
Finish, staying power and comfort
- Balm: Matte to semi-matte finish, lasts a few hours, comfortable for all-day wear.
- Gloss: High-shine finish, lasts 1-2 hours, can feel sticky in Lusaka’s heat.
- Oil: Glossy finish, lasts 2-3 hours, feels lightweight and nourishing.
How to choose a shade for your undertone
- Cool undertones: Opt for pink, berry or mauve shades.
- Warm undertones: Choose peach, coral or warm red tones.
- Neutral undertones: Most shades work, but rosy nudes are universally flattering.
Simple everyday application
Apply directly from the tube or use your finger for a sheer, natural look. Reapply as needed throughout the day.
