No need to abandon lip colour this winter – just make the switch to a hydrating balm, instead.
Just because the weather has turned (and boy, has it turned), doesn’t mean we should sacrifice the beauty habits that make us feel great. Yes, lipstick might be out of the window due to dry, sore lips, but a lip balm with a hint of colour certainly isn’t. A hydrating, moisturising option, tinted lip balms nourish lips while delivering a wash of colour and, occasionally, a sheen or shine. Here are the nine we love for your winter lips.
