Is there anything better than effortless makeup looks that make it easy to enhance your natural features after spending only a few minutes in front of the mirror every morning? If there’s one thing we’ll always champion it is natural beauty, followed in close second by beauty routines that don’t require a huge investment (and we’re talking both time and money).

A tinted lip balm is the perfect Summer accessory to achieve those effortless make-up looks that make you look put together with little to no effort at all. These tinted heroes give your lips the perfect flush of colour with loads of hydration to amp up the volume a little and ensure soft and smooth lips all year round.

Keep one in your beach bag, the car, your hand bag and by your desk so you can add a dash of colour to your look anywhere, anytime. As for the ones to choose, here are our picks…

Mecca Cosmetica Lip De-Luscious Lip Glide in shade Rose

With SPF 15, this berry tinted balm is a true go-to. It gives you a light wash of fresh colour that’s deep enough to suit all skin tones and occasions. Even better, shea butter and vitamin E work to nourish and rehydrate lips for a full and balmy finish.

Lanolips Tinted Lip Balm in shade Nude

When you want a subtle shine and just a hint of colour, this nude shade from Lanolips is a hero. The universal nude has just the right combination of beige and pink tones to suit everyone and there’s also SPF 30 in this little guy so your lips will love the sun protection.

Ultra Violette Sheen Screen Hydrating Lip Balm in shade Peach

For a Summery pop of colour, this peach tone is perfect. It leaves your lips looking juicy and nourished with a subtle wash or orangey tones that instantly make your makeup look put together. It’s SPF 50, which of course we love, and has plenty of hydrating ingredients in there too.

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in shade Grapefruit

This super shiny balm gives your lips a load of glow without feeling stick or uncomfortable. It’s a super hydrator leaving your lips feeling soft and smooth while the peachy pink colour instantly brightens and lifts your complexion.
