This PDRN-powered tinted lip balm promises all of the cushiony comfort of a balm with a blurred, soft-focus finish and a light-as-air feel. Unlike mattes that crack or feel heavy, this balm prioritizes [lasting hydration and comfort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-lip-baste), and long-wearing, flexible color in shades like rosy beige, cool red, and deep berry brown.
