Hydrating Lip Tints: Color That Won’t Dry You Out + Promo Inside

Let’s be honest: bold lips are fun. But you know what isn’t fun? Ending the day with dried-out, prickly lips because your lip color sapped all the moisture from them. Sound like you? Let us introduce you to lipsticks’ hydrating cousin: lip tints. These lippies will give you a gorgeous pop of color while leaving the unpleasant dryness part out. By the end of this blog post, we hope to convince you of just how superior hydrating lip tints can be.

What Are Hydrating Lip Tints?

Lip tints don’t just complete your makeup look, they treat your lips to soothing ingredients like plant-based oils, shea butter, and beeswax. Hydrating ingredients allow for buttery application while giving your lips a moisture boost. These wonder products have a lightweight texture that’ll keep you from picking at your lips all day (or night). And their sheer formula means you can go as light or heavy on the color as you desire. Are you team natural or are you team bold? With lip tints, the choice is yours.

So, Why Not Lipstick?

Lipsticks often claim to have long-lasting color. They achieve that by using dehydrating ingredients like alcohol in their formulas. And yes, the color may be long-lasting, but it’ll also make your dry lips long-lasting, too.
Maybe every once in a while, a little lipstick won’t hurt, but if you’re a lipstick fanatic, that chronic use leads to chronic lip problems. You’ll be left with dry lips, flaking, and irritation that even the richest lip balm won’t be able to fix. If you love drying out your lips and applying lip balm 15 times a day, then maybe lipstick is right for you. But for Henné, it’s a big, fat nope. No siree. No, thank you. We’ll stick to our trusted lip tints.

Benefits of Hydrating Lip Tints

We’ve talked up lip tints, now let’s prove it. Here are all the reasons lip tints should take the number one spot in your makeup-loving heart:

  • Moisture-Rich Formula – Lip tints are designed to prevent chapping and keep your pout soft and supple all day long.
  • Natural Finish & Versatile Wear – Lip tints are made to blend into your natural lip tone, making even unusual shades like orange look good. Wear it sheer for a “no-makeup” makeup look or wear it brighter with a few extra swipes if you’re one for a touch of drama.
  • Minimal Maintenance – Sheer lip tints make reapplication easy, allowing for touch-ups wherever your are even if a mirror isn’t around.
  • Gentler on Sensitive Skin – Don’t stress about irritation when lip tints are often made with cleaner, skin-loving ingredients (ours are!).
