Glowy Tint Balm
Verdict
AOU Glowy Tint Balm is a thick, rich, balmy gloss with sheer color that gives an extra glossy look, similar to a Laneige lip sleeping mask but richer. Haley Kim notes the color and gloss fade quickly since it lacks stain, while Tina Yong mentions a slight tingle from plumping ingredients and that it transfers. It's hydrating, non-sticky, and comfortable, best for those wanting a light tint and high shine without strong pigment.
