Chocolat [sho-ko-lah] – A cool cocoa brown inspired by the depth of artisanal chocolate, softened with a touch of cream.
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: "Chocolat is about finding luxury in the ordinary—those unhurried moments that exist purely for our own pleasure. Savoring exceptional chocolate, trying on something beautiful with nowhere to go, lingering in bed just because you can. It’s rich, comforting, and entirely for yourself.”
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.

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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’m using it for more than 2 years now, and for me it is perfect!!! You don’t feel it on your lips, it is visable for a long time (at least several hours), and the coroul is just ideal. I bought it as a gift for my friend and sister and they are both very content as well."
"Bonjour, The rose latte colour is perfect for my natural lip tone. I look how you can try the product via a live camera I was particularly drawn to your brand due to the cruelty free and vegan ethics, and definitely will be buying more products , merci"
"This amazing balm glides on effortlessly, providing an instant burst of hydration. Its silky texture ensures that your lips feel soft and nourished from the very first swipe. As the balm wears off, you'll notice that your lips remain moisturized and smooth, thanks to its long-lasting formula. Perfect for everyday use, this balm is your solution for maintaining luscious lips all day long. Treat yourself to the ultimate lip care experience!"
"I have this in Calisson and Rose Latte. I have tried many "blotted lip" products, and this one is the most moisturizing and least patchy (on smooth, unchapped lips) that I've ever tried and I'm very pleased with it. I will continue to get it as long as it ia available."
"Absolutely love the texture and the fact hat it´s not a "in your face" colour. This is my 5th bisou balm. We´ll defenitely come back for more. Well done Violette!"
"First of all I had great expectations about this product! I like the shade but I am not mad about it, I like also the fact that is buildable, on the other side the formula must be improved, especially considering the price range! Once applied It feels uncomfortable like it dries my lips and on top is not long lasting! Ps I have dry lips and I prep them with hyaluronic acid serum and Vaseline regardless once I apply the lipstick the uncomfortable feeling begins 🥹"
