Bisou Balm has been a longtime dream of mine, because, well, I’m French. In France, after red lipstick, our favorite lip look is called bouche mordue or “just bitten lips.” The DIY way to do it is to apply lip balm and add a touch of lipstick – creating a subtle flush of color that looks fresh and natural. I’ve always been obsessed with capturing this effect and improving upon it – creating a formula that would mimic the true texture of your own lips. In order to do so I had to design something that would be sheer, comfortable, and hydrating but also blurring and most importantly, matte. It had to leave behind *just* the right amount of pigment but also supply a satisfying pout. Achieving all of these qualities has required so many iterations, but it’s been a true labor of love and my lips are thanking me for it.
