Struggled with dry, flaky lips, you know how important a good lip balm is!

For many of us, it’s a must-have in both skincare and makeup routines. After trying countless options over time, I’ve narrowed down a few popular lip balms worth talking about. Each one offers something different—from glossy finishes to deep hydration. Here’s how they performed!

1. Innisfree Dewy Tint Balm (Shade 05)

With a melty, buttery texture, this balm feels luxuriously comfortable on the lips. It’s pigmented and comes in several shades, offering both color and care in one product. The formula helps to smooth lip lines and keeps lips soft and moisturized throughout the day. It’s a lovely pick for anyone who wants a natural, tinted look without sacrificing hydration.

2. Laneige Lip Glow Balm (Berry)

This balm feels more like a gloss with its thick, shiny texture that instantly makes the lips look smooth. It temporarily softens fine lines and adds a sheer pinkish-berry tint for a healthy glow. However, once it wears off, the lips may feel a bit dry again. Still, it’s a great option for those who love a glossy finish with a hint of color.

3. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm

A cult favorite for a reason! This overnight mask has a rich, smooth texture that deeply hydrates and repairs dry, chapped lips. It leaves the lips feeling soft and supple by morning and helps reduce flakiness over time. Perfect for a nightly treatment or when your lips need some serious TLC.

4. Vaseline Rosy Lips Tinted Lip Therapy

This balm has the classic Vaseline feel—thick and waxy with a pretty rose tint that gives a subtle flush of color. While the texture creates a barrier on the lips, it doesn’t deeply moisturize, so it’s better for temporary shine than long-lasting softness. The rose scent and taste are quite strong, which some may love, while others might find it overpowering.

When it comes to lip care, finding your match depends on what you need—shine, tint, or deep moisture. The Laneige Lip Glow adds gloss and color, Innisfree’s Dewy Tint Balm brings comfort and hydration, Vaseline gives a quick fix, and the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask provides overnight recovery!
