5 Barely There Lippies For A Luscious Pout

A little touch-up

With having to wear masks and dealing with humidity, having “barely there” sheer lip products  to add some tint and hydration to your pout is a must for keeping lips luscious and kissable. It’s a good thing there are quite a few options for us now. Some glide on like lipstick while others have a glossy finish. Since everyone has their own preferences, we’ve rounded up some of the newest sheer-finish lippies for you to consider.

If you loved Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bombs — which come in cream variants too — but want just a little more plumping action, then the new Gloss Bomb Heat will definitely interest you. With it, you get a little bit of red tint and a gentle warm, tingling sensation without any hint of shimmer. It contains Plump Job Complex made from a blend of ingredients which include ginger root oil and capsicum fruit extract (pepper), to gently thicken up your pout.

Perfect for: Gals curious to try lip plumpers but want a gentle introduction to them. In addition to lip-plumping ingredients, it also has skin-conditioning shea butter and vitamin E to help lock in moisture. It will be available online in our region via Sephora starting tomorrow, 24 June.

Glossier’s new lip-caring product, the Ultralip, claims to be the “cashmere sweatpants for your lips”. It contains hyaluronic acid in four molecular weights, ensuring a thoroughly hydrated pout from inside out. The Ultralip also contains meadowfoam, jojoba, and watermelon oils to lock in all that moisture. The balm-like texture sits comfortably on the lips and adds just the right touch of colour (available in nine variants).

Perfect for: Those who love lip balms but want more oomph in the tint and moisture departments. The Ultralip can be kept sheer by using only one swipe or built up to a more pigmented finish with two or more applications. You can shop it from the Glossier website.
