Any “your lips but better” product suggestions?

Just that really. Looking for a product that gives a subtle tint rather than a full on lipstick. Any good tinted balms? Maybe a lip tint with something on top? or a more sheer lipstick?

Anyone got any suggestions? 😊

I just like the tinted Vaseline 🙈

Burt’s bees lip shimmer in fig!

Heard people rave about the burts bees tinted lip balms. Keep meaning to try them but can never pick a colour.

This is the fig on me. It’s subtle but I like it.

Fenty poutsicle lip stains are trending on social media. It does go on very dark and glossy but if you wipe it off within minutes it leaves a subtle colour. The longer it’s left on for the darker the tint.

I’m currently using Elf sheer lipstick and Fresh sugar lip treatment.

I really like Cliniques Chubby Sticks. Whoppin watermelon a cool pale pink and Whole Lotta Honey a nude brown feel so soft and look lovely.

Lexi334 · 29/06/2022 20:09

Thanks for the suggestions so far 👍🏻😊
@IvorCutler That is actually incredibly similar to my natural lip colour!! Is it shimmery or is it just more of a subtle glossiness?

Kosas tinted lip balm - expensive, but just seems to look nicer than lots of others I’ve tried.

Revlon Shine lipstick - I have this in Peach, and it’s very glossy and moisturising. My every day lipstick.

It’s really similar to mine too! Just makes them look a bit better. It’s not shimmery at all (even though the name suggests it is), definitely subtle glossiness but a little bit more pigmented than tinted Vaseline or similar. I bought it after seeing someone else recommended it on mumsnet!

Nyx soft matte lip cream, I usually use the shade Cannes. My favourite Smile

SmileyPiuPiu · 29/06/2022 20:32

I like clarins lip oils but they take about half an hour to get less shiney

Mrcpy · 29/06/2022 20:39

Clinique chubby sticks - the shade mega melon is my lips but better, and it’s my go-to.

I've recently discovered a colour changing lipstick by BarryM in Superdrug, I think it was £4.99. They had two to choose from, a green one that looked peachy and a yellow one that's a cooler pink and so better for my skin tone. It changes colour as you put it on and lasts longer colour wise than a lip balm.
I also like the Burts Bees tinted lip balms and vaseline rosy but the lipstick lasts longer.

Glossier Generation G sheer lipsticks are my favourite. Not shiny, but matte so looks more natural. Colour is pretty subtle but can be built up.

GettingStuffed · 29/06/2022 21:47

Kind.r lipsticks, I have the blue on which turns raspberry pink.on my lips. So so moisturising I wear it instead of lipbalm

Burberry are my go to brand for MLBB lipsticks. They're very creamy and comfortable, they give me enough colour to perk up my face and feel like a balm. They don't last long though!
My favourite: Blossom Pink (my MLBB), Nude Pink (just like the name), Peach Delight//Pink Apricot (these 2 are a peachy nude), Rose Pink (33) is a pinky nude.
I'll mention Devon Sunset as an aside: not exactly MLBB but it kind of perks up my face in a nice and very understated way, this one is a very very light coral.

miffmufferedmoof · 30/06/2022 19:12

I like the Burts Bees tinted lip balm but it’s very very subtle.
For something that looks a bit more ‘done’ and lasts all day, I like No7 lip lacquer

@IvorCutler what lovely lips you have!

Thank you, that is very kind!

I like nars after glow in Dolce Vita.

KatharinaRosalie · 01/07/2022 06:12

I have several of those - it's like a semi-permanent colour that lasts for hours without leaving a layer of product on your lips.

I've got lots of nude lippies (too many lippies full stop) but I agree the Glossier Gen G one is the most natural looking. I need to get some more.
