We're just coming off a rather harsh winter. Whether you experienced tons of snow or brutally freezing temperatures or maybe a mix, we're all glad it's finally over. Although we're planning on keeping one winter staple in our warm-weather lineup: tinted lip balms. They're usually touted in winter since they're a blessing for chapped lips thanks to their softening components. The best tinted lip balms actually work well in spring and summer, too. Because who wants to wear heavy lipstick all season(s) long?
Another big benefit is that the balms offer lip-loving ingredients. Kissers are always in need of hydration and nourishment. Everyone wants plumper puckers and these formulas really deliver. The balms are also buildable so if you want to turn things up at night, just swipe on a few more strokes. Choose from a wide range of shades, from vibrant pops of red to nifty neutrals and pretty pinks.
Here are the best tinted lip balms to have in your arsenal year round.
Hermes Rouge Hermes Silky Lipstick Shine, Limited Edition, Beige Halo, $81 at Hermes
Technically a lipstick, this pick actually allows you to build to your desired color. It made our list because just one swipe of the richly pigmented formula acts as a tinted lip balm. Plus, the bullets are beautiful in their own right. Choose from this ideal everyday shade or opt for Orange Flash or Rose Gélatine for more drama.
VIOLETTE_FR Bisou Balm in Amour Fou, $29 at VIOLETTE_FR

Your lips deserve the benefits of a serum, too. Laneige's formula visibly plumps as it nourishes and adds moisture that lasts up to 12 hours. The shades are actually inspired by doughnuts and while we've never really cared for the jelly variety, this raspberry hue is too delectable to pass up.
