Lipstick
● Primary purpose: Adds color and often a specific finish (matte, satin, glossy).
● Formula: Wax-based, more pigments, less moisturizing; may contain some oils.
● Coverage: Opaque to semi-opaque color.
● Texture: Heavier, stays on lips longer.
● Use: Makeup product for appearance.
Lip balm
● Primary purpose: Moisturizes, protects, heals dry or chapped lips.
● Formula: Oil- or wax-based with emollients (beeswax, shea butter, petrolatum); little to no pigment.
● Coverage: Clear or sheer tint at most.
● Texture: Light, slippery, absorbs quickly.
● Use: Skincare product for lip health.
Hybrid products (tinted lip balms) combine moisturizing with sheer color, but traditional lipstick and lip balm serve different core needs
