With the debut of ‘Nu Lip & Cheek Balmy Tint,’ the newest addition to the ‘NU’ collection created specifically by YSL Beauty, the luxury brand is taking notes on the summer skincare routine of its Gen-Z customer base. ‘Nu Lip & Cheek Balmy Tint’ is a “cushiony” blush and lip balm that gives your lips and cheeks a healthy glow. It can also be customized to match any skin tone, offering consumers a wider variety of possible shades and combinations.

The blendable tint uses orange blossom, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter in the formulation, which ensures that your skin is nourished and glowing. Arriving in ‘Flush,’ ‘Chills,’ and ‘Pinch,’ the new balm tint can be worn on bare skin or used during your skincare routine. The new YSL Beauty product retails for $26 USD and is available on the brand’s website.
