5 Barely There Lippies For A Luscious Pout

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.

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper

~USD27.29

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.

Issy & Co. Hydragloss

~USD5.08

Want your lips to look ultra-healthy? The Issy & Co. Hydragloss is a lip gloss and lip oil in one compact tube. Packed with humectants like hyaluronic acid and occlusives like jojoba seed oil, this sheer lip product gives moisture and keeps it locked in place to transform your lips for the better. Its unique spoon-shaped applicator hugs your lips to deliver a rich, even yet non-sticky layer of slick vinyl-like gloss and subtle colour.

Perfect for: Those searching for a hydrating lip mask for anytime of the day. The clear Surf is perfect for leaving on at night, while the rosy Loveboat, nude brown Bikini, and kool-aid red Baywatch are perfect for the daytime. You can shop all of it through the Issy & Co. Lazada shop.
