Monochromatic Lip Balms

This Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Balm Duo Comes In Two Simple Hues

This Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip balm duo is about to change your makeup game in a big way. The recently released Tarred and Feathered lip balm palette contains only two colors: black and white. While this might seem a little daunting, the way it works is surprisingly simple.

The cruelty-free, vegan cosmetics line is all about bringing makeup artist favorites to the non-professional beauty lovers. The colors are sheer, so rather than being bold, they create a more subtle special effect. On bare lips, the black will deepen your natural color while the white brightens and lighten. The lip balm duo can also be used on lipstick, so you can find the perfect red lip stick shade.
