For lips that look healthy but not shiny, the Essential Hydrating Matte Balm is, well, an essential. Nourishing, conditioning, ultra-hydrating and in a universal shade, the balmy formula offers a natural matte finish for healthy, happy lips.

Jojoba seed oil moisturises, nourishes and softens while vitamin E provides antioxidant support and shea butter acts as a protective shield – healing and protecting you from dry, flaky skin. And for the pièce de resistance, a unique ‘maxi lip’ complex plumps the lips – decreasing the look of fine lines and working towards a visibly fuller finish in one fell swoop. A word from the wise (who in this case is the brand’s founder – Christina Zilber): ‘Take this lightweight balm with you everywhere for immediate moisture relief’.

Apply daily to hydrate lips and for a natural, healthy look.

Fusing French chic with a soupçon of Californian 'West Coast cool', Jouer Cosmetics are purveyors of the most-wanted maquillage this side of paradise. Lightweight and not sticky in the slightest, the Essential Hydrating Matte Balm cares for lips in secret – leaving no tint or trace behind – no matter your skin tone. If you covet nourished, hydrated lips without any of the shine, then this one’s for you. (You’re welcome).
