My Ultimate Tinted Lip Balm/Gloss Masterlist (Brown Girl Friendly!)

Purple Star emoji 17 items
So, I have really dry lips. I mean, I could put on any lip balm or gloss, and my lips will look as dry as the surface of the moon in ten minutes. Because of this, I can't really use lipsticks (ESPECIALLY liquid lipsticks) because they emphasize the ...

The cult classic is a cult classic for a reason. I have no idea how this lip balm looks so good on everyone, but it's literally a universally flattering shade. I like to build it up in a few layers (usually 3) but it looks nice and natural even with ...

I've always wanted glossy balms in a pen form instead of a tube because I find it easier to apply. I do wish this was retractable, but the shades are really nice and it hydrates my lips well. My favourite shade is Bust a Mauve, a muted purple shade

These shades are genuinely amazing. There are so many muted shades (which is something I struggle to find in lip balms or glosses) but my favourite shade has to be Sprinkle Sprinkle, which is a muted deep pink colour that looks really natural on my l...

My favourite thing about the Rare Beauty lip oils is the tint. It's pigmented enough to cover the hyperpigmentation on my lips, and even after the layer of oil wears off, it still leaves behind a tint. My favourite shades are Affection, Serenity, and...

Elf's hydrating lip balm adds a sheer tint and moisturises my lips pretty well. It's also got a decent shade range, including some natural-looking muted shades

So this one is pretty expensive. Considering the many affordable options, I don't use this very often, but I still like the hydration and colour. It's more sheer, so you have to build it up in layers if you have pigmented lips like I do

Romand's Lip Tints are, by far, my favourite glossy lip tints. They're incredibly moisturising, have a pretty great shade range, and look amazing. You can build them up for more pigment, but two layers is usually enough for me. My favourite shades ar...

The Glasting Water Tint is as hydrating as the Juicy Lasting Tint series, but it's glossier and literally looks like you've either got water or liquid glass on your lips. My favourite shades are Vintage Ocean and Rose Stream

I know that Fwee went viral for their pudding pots, but I honestly never had any interest in trying out their products until they came out with the jelly pots. These are so glossy and there are so many shades for darker skin. My favourite shades are ...

I absolutely LOVE the fact that fwee came out with two different pigment concentrations for the same shades. As someone with pigmented lips, I prefer glosses that are more pigmented (in this case, the 70% concentration) but I know some people prefer ...

The aou glowy balm is going ridiculously viral because it was created by a well-known Korean makeup artist. I also found out about it because some of my favourite kpop idols suddenly started using it. It's really glossy (always a plus!) and I love so...

With K-beauty products, it's a little hard to find shades that work on darker skin. While I love the formula for Etude's Glow Fixing Tint, the shades could do with some work. The only shade I like is Mauvement

Diam Beauty's Glass Tint Balm is one of my favourite underrated gems. It's a sheer lip balm that can be built up, and adds the most natural flush of colour. The shade Black Onyx is also the closest dupe I've found to Clinique's Black Honey

You can always count on Mars to create some amazing products at a very affordable price. The Mars Click Stix are pretty pigmented and produce a glossy, hydrated finish. My favourite shade is Best Nude, though I hope they expand on their shade range a...

Similar to the Diam Beauty Lip Balm, La Mior's Peptide Lip Balms are also criminally underrated. The colours are incredible, and they're also very hydrating. The only problem is they're only available in combos of 3, so you can't purchase single lip ...

Hyphen's tinted lip balms were an obvious dupe of the Rhode peptide lip balms, but they work really well. I hope they expand the shade range though, because right now the dark brown one is the only one that looks nice on darker skin

Swiss Beauty is another great affordable brand, and their products are pretty good for the price. While this isn't the most hydrating lip balm on the list, it's still pretty good. My favourite shade is Mauve Muffin, which looks like a rosy brown on m...
