Tinted lip balms are a godsend. Not only do they moisturise your lips and prevent them from being chapped, but they also add a hint of colour and sheen that brightens your whole complexion, making them perfect for a no-makeup makeup look. So, we’ve rounded up 8 tinted lip balms in Singapore for days when you want lip colour and hydration but want to avoid full-on pigmented lipstick or lipgloss.

#1 Dear Dahlia Blooming Edition Lip Paradise Colour Balm ($47)

Dear Dahlia's Blooming Edition Lip Paradise Color Balm gives you the dewy finish of a lip gloss sans the tackiness, which is great for those who cannot stand the sticky texture of some hydrating lip products. We love the pretty soft pink, nude and mauve shades in this range, which are all super flattering for Asian skin tones. Swipe once for a natural my-lips-but-better look, or build up a few layers for a stronger hint of colour.
