Lip care has been top of mind within the beauty community this past year. Moving into the new year, we’re going deeper. We’re breaking down how our lip oils and lip balms are the perfect skincare and makeup hybrid for your lips. Their beloved plant-based formulas deliver nourishing and hydrating properties. Our ingredient lists are simple yet rich in botanical oils that promise to deliver.
You’ll find our lip-loving ingredients are the answer to healthier-looking lips. Our lip care line isn’t your average product; it's lip care that goes deeper with formulas that look as good as they feel. Be ready to nourish your lips with botanical-infused care featuring moisturizing blends and a vibrant spectrum of high-pigmented colors. It’s what we like to call a treat for you and a treatment for your lips.
What’s the Difference Between Lip Oil and Lip Balm?
While lip oils and balms live in the same category, they perform drastically differently. Both are essential for lip care but differ in texture, purpose, and composition. The Lush Lip Tinted Oils are enriched with a nourishing botanical oil blend, plus a vegan Lanolin alternative and Shea Butter. The botanical oil blend is a custom creation of conditioning, soothing plant- based moisturizers. We offer these lip oils in four high-shine shades that provide a sheer tint of color, perfect for everyday wear.
Our SPF lip balms are formulated with a buttery plant-based blend that melts onto the lips until the last swipe. It’s thicker, hydrating texture moisturizes and protects the lips, creating a protective barrier with an SPF 15. Our Peptide lip balms have a formula created with lip-loving ingredients in mind. They give the perfect flush of color, swipe of shine, and of course, a boost of hydration that help to keep your lips looking (and feeling) healthy. While the lip oils provide a glossy appearance and deep hydration, lip balms focus on maintaining lip health. The choice between lip oil and lip balm depends on personal preference and lip care needs.
What is Lip Oil?
If you enjoy wearing something on the lips daily with instant glossy shine and deep hydration, consider reaching for a lip oil. Our tinted lip oils are dermatologist-developed with a plant-powered formula that includes a custom botanical oil blend, shea butter, and a lanolin alternative. The moisturizing oils provide a long-lasting, high-shine finish and leave you with a soft pout without the stickiness.
These vitamin-rich lip oils in four shades feature shea butter that provides antioxidants and high concentrations of essential vitamins. Its flexible and plush doe foot applicator ensures a seamless application every wear, allowing you to wear it solo or layer it over your favorite lip balm or lipstick. Each oil nourishes the lips with a sheer finish and has a hint of a refreshing natural peppermint scent. Apply on the go for a lip makeover or when your lips need a pick-me-up!
What is Lip Balm?
Lip balms can be nostalgic and often the rite of passage into one’s love for all things beauty. They'll forever be a staple in most beauty lovers' routines or at the bottom of many purses, rescuing lips throughout the day. Our POUTLOVE PEPTIDE LIP BALM is an essential product for your lip care lineup. Poutlove moisturizes, smooths lip lines, and visibly plums, while also providing a sheer wash of color, leaving you with nourished, healthy-looking lips. It has skin-loving ingredients such as murumuru butter, 1% plumping peptide complex, and 2% smoothing sesame seed complex to help support your lip moisture barrier. Available in four different shades, Poutlove delivers subtle shine and a nourished pout.
Our LIP BUTTER TINTED LIP BALMS SPF15 are considered skincare for your lips as they’re true multi-taskers, sun protection. Its plant-based blend of non-micronized Zinc provides physical protection from the sun with a perfect blend of care and color. We can’t blame you if you file these two under your new favorite lip balms.
How to Layer for the Perfect Lip Combo
Here at Well People, our perfect pout includes essential hydrating layers. For a customized lip look, you can quickly master the art of layering our tinted lip balms and tinted lip oils. Always begin with a base layer. We use our natural clear lip balm for a hydrated, clean canvas. Next, depending on how we want to mix and match our palettes, we use a second layer of tinted lip balm as a base color. This technique sets the foundation for a smooth and moisturized base.
If you want to prep your pout before makeup, we recommend grabbing Poutlove and using it as your base. Use it as an overnight lip mask so that your lips are soft and supple for your morning beauty routine or apply it at the beginning of your makeup routine to help hydrate your lips and prep for your go-to lip look. When you apply Poutlove as the first step of your routine, your lips will be moisturized, plumped, and prepped for when you’re ready to finish your look. Top off your routine with Lush Lip Tinted Oil for a flush of color and long-lasting shine.
