Rose Latte [la-tay] – a pink-hued latte.
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.

"Je suis ravie d’avoir commandé le Bisou Balm chocolat. Il est si facile à appliquer et si léger. J’adore le rendu, la couleur est magnifique et s’adapte très bien à n’importe quelle carnation. Je recommande vivement le Bisou balm ! Je suis tellement contente que je voudrais tester d’autres produits Violette_FR ☺️"
"Genuinely the most one-start worthy thing ever lol I’m so for real. It takes at least 4-5 swipes to see a little bit of color, and if NOTHING ELSE, the tube is so, so, so evidently cheap plastic. The tube lid I could squeeze and deform if I wanted to… $30? This is like upscale play make-up? I’m not kidding, please save your money. My pics are before and after 4 coats. 🥲"
"Love the ease of this! Gives a sheer wash of color which you can add more layers to get a more intense color. Has great stay considering it’s not a lipstick. Also love that it’s an actually neutral and cooler brown."
"I had been eyeing the Bisou Balm for the longest time but I couldn't find a shade that truly spoke to me - until Chocolat was created. On my olive leaning neutral skin tone, this lippie was a dream. In some lightings it's almost grungy and in others its classy. Regardless, it is such a chic lippie to have from the pillowy soft texture to the way it hugs and smooths the lips. And the shade is absolute perfection. I currently now own 2 different lip formulas from Violette: the Lip Nectar and the Bisou Balm and both have been the most delightful experience. Honestly the perfect my lips but better shade that doesn't try to hard but adds an effortless, chic boost to your look."
"I saw an Instagram ad for this bisou balm in chocolat and was intrigued - I’d tried two other colors from violette and loved the consistency so I wanted to try this color. It is PERFECTION and actually I don’t know if there is a reformulation but the balm is actually SOFTER and MORE MOISTURIZING than the previous tubes I owned. The color is perfect chic Nicole Kidman fall 90s practical magic witchy perfection. Fan for life. Love. Would buy ten more, one for all besties!"
"I absolutely love this color! I’ve never been a big fan of matte lipsticks because they usually make my lips look dry, flaky, and emphasize every little line. But this one is different! It has a beautiful matte finish while still feeling soft and moisturizing. It’s become my new favorite! The color doesn’t last all day, but it glides on so smoothly and feels so comfortable that I actually enjoy reapplying it. No complaints at all! I definitely need to get more shades! 💕"
"I am in love with Bisou Balm. It is a perfect matte for mature lip textures - liquid mattes are just too drying. The soft matte finish is flattering and does not migrate to lip lines. It is also surprsingly transfer resistant. I have Betise and Bonbon Myrtille and want to try more shades."
"Such a unique texture, feels smooth, velvety, not sticky. I love the matte finish, it really looks as if I’ve blotted a lipstick. I don’t see any downsides, I wasn’t expecting it to be moisturising, but it doesn’t dry my lips. It’s fairy long lasting, wears off evenly, can be reapplied and never feels to heavy. I don’t need a lip pencil to overdraw my lips, somehow this product does the trick of making them look fuller. When it comes to the shade, it’s probably the closest to „my lips but better”, not too cool, not too warm. Kind of muted everyday red. Looks fresh, healthy, effortless."
"I wasn’t sure about buying a matte lipstick after having had mixed experiences with other good brands. But Bisou Balm is a winner. Application is easy because its texture is silky smooth and light. Layering adds pigment, and gently smoothing the edges with a finger gives it a natural look."
"The balm part of the Bisou balm is fine- it does soothe my lips. But I had hoped for some color (the chocolate brown is grievous in the picture) and find very little color. I know it’s not a lipstick but I feel I paid for an expensive lip balm with no color payoff. I would’ve asked for a return but your website said you’re not doing returns."
