"The color pay off is WAY lighter than all of the marketing materials. While I know it is supposed to be a buildable balm, there is just no color on me and certainly nothing like the ads (for reference I am light-medium neutral skin tone so it shouldn’t be an issue). I am almost wondering if I got a one from a bad batch? The formula is lovely, though.."

Details
Sucette [sue-set] – lollipop: a sensual, bright raspberry pink.
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
Recommended use
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.

Reviews
So chic
"Love Love love Bisou Balms. They're so comfortable on the lips. For a matte lipsticks they're not drying at all, in fact quite the opposite. Colours are builable, give lovely blurry effect and the application is so effortless, no need for a mirror, perfect for on the go. I have 5 shades of Bisou Balms and Mon Chéri is my favourite, followed closely by Chocolat💙"
"I love the formula but I’m not getting the color pay off as advertised. I have pale lips and this barely shows on me after several, multiple swipes. Is there a trick I don’t know about? Hope there’s more dark shades coming with better pay off. My other two balms are great but too pink for me. Still a great formula, not sticky or drying."
"This is my favorite balm - I think I own every color now. It feels so much lighter than other similar products that I’ve tried and never reaches a point where it starts feeling weird on my lips. This color - the Calisson - is more muted than I was expecting, which I like."
Bisou Balm it’s my favourite product
"The balm is amazing, it’s one of my favourite beauty products ever. I just think the delivery takes forever. It took three weeks to be delivered in Ireland. That’s when I realised you ship from the US? I thought French brand would have a warehouse in Europe."
My New Lipstick Obsession
"The color looks even more beautiful once it’s on my lips. It evolves so beautifully, creating that natural, bitten-lip effect. It doesn’t even look like I’m wearing makeup, yet it enhances my smile and brightens up my whole face. The poppy shade suits me so well and instantly brings so much life to my look. I also love how soft and smooth it feels when I apply it — I’m completely addicted to this new sensation."
Your lips but better
"Love Bisou Balms! Pillowy softness for the lips. It creates a lived in look that is natural and makes your lips look supple and kissable. I always get asked what I'm wearing when I have it on."
Best lip color I’ve ever owned!
"This is my second purchase of the bisou balm and it’s my absolute favorite. I like that’s its matte and is subtle. It truly looks like my natural lip color but enhanced. I’ve tried several matte lip colors and this is the only one that doesn’t dry them out to a crisp. Highly recommend!"

"I am absolutely loving Chocolat. It is in my current lip routine daily!"
