TikTok adores this glossy balm, and so do I. The moisturizing formula feels like a lip balm, makes your lips look like sunlit stain glass, and gently plumps the lips. Because it’s so juicy and melty, it requires the structure of the tube to keep it intact; as a result, the pen winds up but not down, so be careful not to dispense too much product at once.

An ELLE editor says: “Even without liner, these balms allow me to slightly overline my lips without looking obvious. Instead of looking messy or overdone, my pout looks just slightly plumper and shinier. The shade selection is glorious, too—my absolute top pick is Trace, a slightly rosy brown, but Rise, a soft beige, is a close second.”—Carol Lee
