In some occasions such as going to nearby shops or meeting someone on video chat, you may not need a lot of makeup but it would be nice to give a little glow on the face. Don’t you agree? One of the best cosmetics items for light makeup is tinted lip balms to substitute for lipsticks.

Many people may imagine that tinted lip balms are sticky, greasy, not long-lasting or not brightly pigmented, but that’s totally wrong as they have improved so much in the past decade. Now, many tinted lip balms have great features such as lightweight, long-lasting and hydrating.

Tinted lip balms become new makeup essential that we may pick everyday. This multi-purpose cosmetics product can heal your dry and chapped lips while providing a colour and fresh look on the face.

In Japan, various types of tinted lip balms are available on the market, and it may be confusing to pick one. In this article, I’d like to introduce some of the best Japanese tinted lip balms that you may need in your life!
