Whether you’re a believer in the ‘less-is-more’ philosophy or need a low-maintenance option for when you can’t touch up your look in between meetings or classes, lip balms and tints are the ultimate beauty must-have for when you’re on the go.
A light layer gives your lips a flattering pop of colour while also hydrating and nourishing them throughout the day. Plus, the fact that you can reapply this product without even needing to peek into your phone’s selfie camera is a major beauty bonus. Here are our top six picks that get an A+ from us—get ready to pucker up.
