Show Your Lips Some Love
No makeup bag is complete without a lip balm, and you can't expect to get through a winter of cracked, flaky lips without a trusted option. A good lip balm will offer up nourishing emollients like plant oils, glycerin, shea butter and hydrating hyaluronic to re-plump lips that feel a little prune-like and deflated.
