Product details

Five Espoir Nowear Lipstick Balming Glow tubes with red, brown-rose and pink caps fading to cream, standing in a row on a blush-pink table between pink silk, a glass cube and a glass sphere

Balm glow lipstick

A clear, juicy balm-glow lipstick that keeps its colour without feeling sticky.

Espoir’s Nowear Lipstick Balming Glow pairs the shine of a balm with colour that lasts. Espoir built it to fix the usual problems with glossy lipsticks: the vivid shade holds on the inner lips instead of wearing off, and a non-sticky, lightweight texture feels as if you’re wearing nothing. The shades are inspired by moist, juicy berries.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Balming oils

    Cushiony emollients lead the list for the soft, balmy glide and the clear, juicy glow.

    No. 1, 2, 3, 4 of 30 on the list

  • Shine without stickiness

    Glossy silicones give the light glow layer and keep the texture from feeling tacky.

    No. 5, 6 of 30 on the list

  • Colour that holds

    A flexible film former and wax help the colour stay put so it doesn’t fade as fast as a typical shine lipstick.

    No. 7, 12 of 30 on the list

  • Vitamin E

    A conditioning extra, last on the list.

    No. 30 of 30 on the list

How to use

Swipe, then build

  1. 1

    Swipe

    Glide the bullet straight onto bare lips for a clear, juicy glow.

  2. 2

    Build

    Go over the centre of the lips again for more vivid colour.

  3. 3

    Wear

    The no-wear texture stays light and non-sticky, so there’s no need to blot.
