The creamy balms come in five shades – Slipper, a warm peach shade, Velveteen soft mauve, Venus soft fuchsia, Whiskey warm terra-cotta and Afterglow soft berry – in 15 ml containers.
Multifunctional benefits
All the balms contain clinically tested skin care ingredients, with vitamin E for soothing and nourishment. It also includes vitamin C from buckthorn oil to give a glow and provide essential fatty acids.
Additionally, safflower oil, rich in linoleic and oleic acids, is included for extra moisturization and supports the skin’s natural barrier function.
The balm is designed to flatter bare skin while being easy to blend with other makeup as well. For a natural look, the balm can also be applied with the fingers for a pop of color. They are also buildable.
Since the balms contain skin-benefiting ingredients, they are multifunctional and can be used on cheeks, lips or brow bones.
