Bêtise [bae-teaz] – a traditional mint candy: our best-selling warm berry shade that keeps selling out. The original “bouche mordue” or “just bitten lips” shade.
A sheer matte lipstick-meets-hydrating balm that delivers the iconic Bouche Mordue—or “just-bitten lips”—look in one step. The unique, moisturizing formula blends seamlessly into lips, diffusing color for a soft-focus, blurred finish that feels effortlessly French. Swipe once for a natural flush, or layer to build color payoff. Formulated with smoothing emollients, soft-focus powders, and botanical Lapacho Tree Extract, Bisou Balm helps hydrate lips while minimizing the appearance of fine lines. The result: sheer, buildable color with a soft-focus blur—like you’ve just been kissed.
Violette's Inspiration: “In France, after the red lipstick, our favorite lip look is called 'bouche mordue' (just-bitten lips). To achieve it, we apply lip balm, add a touch of lipstick, and then kiss a tissue to remove excess shine, so it looks more like our natural lips. Bisou Balm leaves behind *just* the right amount of pigment and comes in the most delicious colors, inspired by the traditional French candies of my childhood."
0.08oz / 2.5g
Swipe Bisou Balm onto bare lips, applying just beyond the natural lip line. Layer up to three coats depending on the desired pigment.
For very dry lips, moisturize before applying.

"I absolutely love this Bissou Balm! I'm currently using my fourth stick—it's my go-to lipstick, or should I say balmð¤. The tint is stunning, and it glides on so smoothly. I adore how it enhances my lips, giving a natural, beautiful look. The color intensifies beautifully as I build it up, and it never feels heavy. Plus, it lasts all day! Violette’s projects are always a super hit. I don't doubt her products."
"This is a wonderful product from a great company! It’s sheer but moisturizing at the same time! I have so many colors! The Bisou Balm is definitely a daily go to for me! All interactions with this company have been wonderful also! The shipping is fast and efficient, the return process is great, I continue to purchase from this company! You won’t be disappointed."
"Im a lipstick girly and have tried all brands and still nothing comes close to the shade, texture of this one. I can apply it with no mirror, gives the just kissed lips blush. Long lasting. Adapt to my lip ph level which sometimes changes the colour. I loveeeee this and is exactly how i was hoping it would be."
"I love lips and I love lipstick and I invest a lot in that. The Violette_FR in Calisson is the most beautiful shade! The gentle and smooth texture of the product leaves such a soft feeling as if that is my natural lip colour. I tried it and I will buy it again. You created an amazing product Violette!"
"I am in love with this lip balm. The color look natural not overwhelming on my lips ,the color is super long lasting and it moisturizes too. I had to placed another order of the same color because I forgot to take it out from my pants when i throw them in the washer. Long story short, I ordered the same color (Beties) and calison. Can’t wait for to see them in the mail! Thank you violette!"
"My lips are naturally pale and with one coat you can see the difference. The color is beautiful, the texture on the lips is breathable, silky, and a slight taste of vanilla. After wear my lips don't feel dry but a little on they hydrated side. Would recommend and purchase again."
"The perfect red for me varies. First application is faint with just a smudge of color that looks natural and not overwhelming. Buildable from there for a more dramatic look. The formula is light and moisturizing and the faint scent is lovely. It’s my go to."
"I absolutely love Bisou Balm but I particularly adore the color Mon Chéri. It is so flattering and feels great on the lips. I love this product so much that I use it as a blush and really hope that Violette launches this in a new blush formula but also as Bisou Blush!"
"Outstanding tinted lip balm/stick. Its the perfect in between of a belm and lipstick, so beautifully buildable! I have it in 4 shades and it's my go-to for everyday color or even events. The pictures are both in teh shade Sucette which I like for a more pink/deeper color, but betise ad rose late are my go-to's for everyday wear. SO GOOD!"
"The color turns a brown orange on me and not what I expected. Also, while the balm feels really good being put on when it dries it settles into every line in your lip and it makes your lips look dry and old. This is too expensive to experiment with. I will not be buying again."
