Product Information

Apply directly onto your face, starting in the centre, from your forehead, down your nose and chin. Apply one swipe along your cheekbones and under your eyes. Swipe 2-3 times in an area for more coverage. First things first, you’ll want to make sure your products are clean and safe. And then, you’ll want to be sure that they’re full of nourishing, good-for-you ingredients. “For hydrated, healthy skin, I recommend looking for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe,” says Moore. For medium coverage, use a brush to gently buff foundation into skin in small circular motions, starting at the centre and blending outward. Note that while it is long-wearing, the color does eventually fade. With that said, though, it does so evenly so we’re left with a natural-looking stain. Our one gripe is that the name is a bit misleading — the formula isn’t totally weightless: We can feel the nourishing ingredients working overtime to keep lips well moisturized.

Upon initial application, the formula felt satisfyingly creamy and it was easy enough to blend out, but ironically it made our skin feel dry while we were wearing it. In future, we’d probably apply a moisturising primer or cream pre-application to help negate that issue – but despite that, it did last well and it had a nice satin finish that was neither too matte nor too dewy.For buildable coverage, use a silicone and sponge blender. Use the silicone side to stipple and build coverage, and the sponge side to smooth for a soft-focus finish. While the hydration factor is noticeable, it isn’t very long-lasting, so we found the need to reapply every few hours to keep our lips comfortable. Fine lines tend to appear highlighted when skin is parched, so the heavier moisture in the balm may provide a temporary reduction in the look of pesky little wrinkles. But Rabach noted that none of the ingredients in the balm are scientifically proven to have lasting results when it comes to deeper wrinkles, so set your expectations on that front.

With 30 shades to choose from, we found options for any occasion, too. Some of our favorites include Level Up, a nude-pink for everyday looks, and Some Nerve, an electric purple, that’s a bit more adventurous. You may swear by your trusty liquid or powder, but what you probably didn't know is that these hybrids sit somewhere in between - so you really do get the best of both worlds.

Though there are 13 color options, the lighter shades don’t provide much pigment, especially for those with deeper skin tones.
