I love applying make-up, I really do. Nothing makes me feel more put-together than when my eyeliner goes on smoothly and my lashes are perfectly separated, but sometimes my lazy tendencies kick in and I simply can’t be bothered to apply a full face of make-up. Saying this, I still like to feel put-together when I leave the house. That’s where tinted lip balms come in—and the new Lisa Eldridge Baume Embrace Melting Lip Colour is one of the best I’ve tried.
Sitting somewhere between a lipstick and a lip balm, tinted lip balms have an advantage over barely-there lipsticks. You see, aside from being an easy way to elevate your minimal make-up looks, they’re usually packed with skin-loving ingredients to hydrate, nourish and smoothen the lips as well as simply providing a wash of colour. The new Baume Embrace is no exception, the trio of butters – shea, murumuru and wild mango kernel – aim to soothe and hydrate, while jojoba oil and pomegranate flower extract work to actively plump the lips after 28 days of use.
