Lip Gloss-Balm

The hero product of every clean-girl makeup look is lip gloss. Whether you go for a sheer nude lip gloss or add a touch of pink with a berry shade, a simple swipe immediately elevates your look. Find the perfect hydrating lipgloss at bareMinerals in a shade that’s designed to suit your skin tone.

At bareMinerals, we prioritize natural ingredients that are good for you and the planet–and that goes for our line of lip glosses, too. Our Mineralist clean lip gloss is vegan, paraben-free and formulated without synthetic fragrance. And what’s even better? This lip balm gloss delivers up to 50% smoother lips in just one week.

Using a lip balm not only makes your lips look plump and healthy–it can nourish your lips, too (especially a vegan lip gloss made with natural fruit oils!). Because we love both a natural, barely-there makeup look and a full glam getup, we created a line of lip balm gloss that combines both. Get the nourishing effects of a balm and the vibrancy and color of a gloss!

Using the applicator, apply the lip gloss directly to the center of your bottom lip, following the natural curve of your lips. Press your lips together to spread the gloss evenly, and if needed, use the applicator to fill in any remaining spaces. Be mindful not to apply too much, as it can lead to excessive stickiness or globs of gloss.

Lip gloss typically consists of a blend of ingredients such as oils, waxes, emollients, and pigments. The base usually includes components like mineral oil, castor oil, or lanolin, providing the glossy texture. Mineralist Lip Gloss-Balm contains Sea Buckhorn Fruit Oil to make lips nourished and Plum Oil which delivers a high shine.

The longevity of lip gloss can vary based on the formula and how frequently you eat, drink, or talk, which can wear it off. On average, lip gloss tends to last for a few hours before needing reapplication. Glosses with oilier or thicker formulas might last longer, while sheer or lighter formulas may need more frequent touch-ups.

Apply a lip gloss that contains oils and other shine-enhancing ingredients. Ensure your lips are well-hydrated and exfoliated to create a smooth base. Apply the lip gloss evenly for a glossy finish, reapplying as needed throughout the day to maintain the shine.

Yes, bareMinerals lip balms are clean. Dewy Lip Gloss-Balm is vegan, gluten-free and formulated without synthetic fragrance, PEGs and more. They aim to provide hydration and protection using more natural and sustainable components.

Lip gloss typically contains moisturizing ingredients, but its primary purpose is to add shine and enhance the appearance of lips, rather than provide long-term hydration or protection. While the typical lip gloss can temporarily hydrate, it's not a replacement for lip balm. However, bareMinerals' Mineralist Lip Gloss-Balm combines the shine and color of a lip gloss with the hydrating, smoothing properties of a lip balm.

The main difference between lip oil and lip gloss lies in their formulation and finish. Lip gloss typically has a thicker texture, providing a high-shine and often a more pigmented color. Lip oil, on the other hand, is lighter and more oil-based, offering sheer color and intense hydration. Lip oils focus on nourishing the lips while providing a subtle shine, while lip gloss emphasizes shine and color payoff.

Yes, bareMinerals Dewy Lip Gloss-Balm is vegan. Vegan lip balms are made without any animal-derived ingredients, such as beeswax, and instead, they use plant-based or synthetic components to provide hydration and protection for the lips.

To use lip liner and lip gloss together, start by outlining your lips with a lip liner that matches your natural lip color or the shade of your gloss. Then, fill in your lips with the liner to create a base. Apply the lip gloss over the liner, blending the two together for a seamless finish. The liner helps define the lips and prevent the gloss from feathering while enhancing the color and shine.
