Best Tinted Lip Balm
4 products ranked by our scoring system. No sponsored picks.
Glazed Lip Cult Favorite Peptide Lip Tint
Rhode's Peptide Lip Tint is the product that convinced millions of people they didn't want lip gloss — they wanted a tinted balm. The non-sticky, glazed finish and genuine hydration deliver on the core promise. The peptide-and-vitamin-C skincare angle is a thoughtful bonus. But the sheer color payoff and short wear time mean you'll reapply this more often than your phone checks its notifications.
Everyday Tinted Lip Essential Total Hydration Moisture + Tint
The rare tinted lip balm that genuinely prioritizes moisture over color — a naturally sourced formula packed with rosehip, argan, and shea that happens to add a flattering sheer wash of tint. At under $5, it embarrasses products costing five times more.
K-Beauty Lip Essential Lip Glowy Balm
The daytime companion to Laneige's iconic Lip Sleeping Mask delivers exactly what it promises — glossy, hydrating lip color in a pocket-friendly tube. The shea and murumuru butter formula is genuinely nourishing, and the fun flavor range makes it endlessly repurchasable. Not a treatment product, but a daily essential that earns its price.
Sephora Lip Balm Staple Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm
Tarte's tinted conditioning lip balm does the one thing it sets out to do — add gloss, color, and emollient cushion to the lips in a single swipe — and does it well. The flavor is either a feature or a dealbreaker depending on your tastes, and the price is steep for 2.7 grams, but for Sephora-tier tinted lip balms it's a fair pick.
