ProsAs you can see from my reviews, I'm a guy who really loves lip balms. I'm always trying to keep my lips moisturized.
Color payoff: 5/5
I'm a cool-toned man with fair skin. While orange-based tints are a big no-no for me, this one has a red, pink base that perfectly matches my complexion. I dare say that for men's tinted lip balms, a moderate application without leaving a 'mouse-eaten' effect is the top priority.
(I'm also using the Bready cushion, and these two work great together.)
Hydration: 4/5
Moisture is really important to me. I usually dislike the matte, staining feel typical of tinted lip balms
(That's why I didn't use Bready products before they were reformulated.) This one, however, addresses the drawbacks of tinted lip balms rather than just focusing on their strengths, and I'm really satisfied using it. It's nicely hydrating.
Overall: Rather than maximizing strengths, this product seems to have excellently compensated for the weaknesses of tinted lip balms. I think I'll stick with this one too. Compared to other brands, it has great application, hydration, and color payoff. It feels less like 'I've put something on my lips' - more natural, you know?
ConsThe mint scent might be off-putting for men who don't like mint.
TipFor a natural-looking application, apply a long swipe on your lower lip, then dab twice on the protruding part of your upper lip, and press your lips together.
