Pucker up! Whether you're a glamour gal or a low-key lady, every Beauty swipes on lip balm. This basic beauty essential can seamlessly protect, pigment, and perfect your pout. But with an endless selection of mouth-moisturizing options, which one is right for you? To help you narrow down the list, we rounded up our top picks from tinted to tasty!
Tinted:
Not a fan of the statement lip? A tinted will add a subtle stain to your lips without the richness of a lipstick or the sticky mess of a gloss. The sheer layer is also ideal for color correcting your pout.

Beautylish recommends: Korres Lip Butter
Flavored:
While many balms come with a delicious scent, the ones that feature a yummy taste can help fight snack cravings, make your lips delectably to kiss, and are perfect for breaking bad beauty habits such as lip bitting. Plus, for most of us flavored lip balms also bring to mind cheerful childhood memories!

With Sunblock:
Just like any exposed surface, lips need protection from harmful rays. Now-a-days there are tons of fantastic balms with high-levels of SPF included in their luxe formula—so you don't have to deal with the bitter taste or pesky white film that comes from traditional sunblock.
Beautylish recommends: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15

Beautylish recommends: Nivea A Kiss of Protection Sun Protection Lip Care SPF 30
Extra TLC:
For those Beauties who suffer from dry or chapped lips, finding a long-lasting formula with medicated ingredients is essential. If Vaseline isn't cutting it, look for balms with rose extract, shea butter, and Vitamin E, which will keep your lips smooth and moist.

I love tinted lip balms! I love the Burt's Bees one and I've been dying to try the Korres and Clinque chubby stick too. I like using just a tinted lip balm when I'm running errands and such :)

This is a very informative article I have used so many lip balms I have used a lot of these currently loving the wet and wild juicy stick in raspberries and the EOS in strawberry sherbet. I would also recommend the Soft lips brand it leaves your lips very soft and kissable.
