It’s that easy.

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.

The best of Everything
Great flat color that actually is moisturizing. I love it.

Excellent baume à lèvres
Ce baume est une pépite. Une couleur magnifique, il est confortable tout en assurant une hydratation longue tenue . A utiliser sans modération.

Disappointed, Malheureusement!
From the color shade depicted on the website, I thought this lipstick would have a richer color. The emphasis should be on balm and it should be noted that it offers very little if any color to the lips. I am disappointed and will use it as a conditioning treatment under other lipsticks. I won’t purchase again, nor can I in good faith, recommend it.

Hi Deborah, We appreciate your feedback. We encourage everyone to use the virtual try on feature on the website to show the colors accurately as the colors can look different on each skin tone. The color is also buildable so you can add multiple layers to achieve the look you are going for :)

Great Formula, Needs Shade Extension
I love the formula as I have both Sucette & Bètise. It’s so lightweight and can last all day. I would love a color that looks natural on deep lips (with brown/purple undertones). I think 2 deeper shades would make the line complete.

Hi Taylor, We are so glad that you love the Bisou Balm! It is important to us to incorporate feedback from our community into our brand. We love your suggestions and we will share this idea about a darker shade with our team :)

Lovely product, but shockingly little of it...
I am quite happy with the product itself, but I am quite disappointed with the amount of product in the tube. The outer tube looks like a normal lipstick, but the inner tube/housing of the lipstick is considerably narrower, and fully extended is ~1" only. Upon delivery, one can see 2.5g is what the label reads, .08oz. Pricey for this amount of product.

Hi Averill, Thank you for your feedback. The weight of this formula is lighter but the volume is comparable to your standard lipstick. We changed the formula to have a better color payoff and more hydration!

Love Betise
I love this color and plan to have it on me always. I appreciate the new style of the product, but for whatever reason, the cap will not stay on securely. I've had it a few months and thought perhaps I'd been careless, but whether in a drawer or in a bag, this cap does not stay on. Perhaps I got a defective one. I liked the old one that stayed on securely, but I like the shape of this new applicator. Help!

Hi Sonia, So glad you love the Bisou Balm! We have passed this information to our product team and we are working on this.

Pure heaven
Everything from Violette_FR is a dream to wear. The Bisou Balm is my favorite lipstick of all time.

Love Love Love
Super light, but buildable, beautiful color and staying power. Will definitely be purchasing more

This grew on me….
At first, I wasn’t won over by Bisou Balm. However, after using it a few times I realized how great the texture was and how light it was. Less heavy than lipstick and more fun! Easy to apply with just the perfect pop of color!

Pure Love!
I love this lipstick so much! It is so easy to apply and touch up without a mirror when you're on the go. Lovely texture, with a beautiful blurred effect. Pure love!

Love it!
gorgeous! I didn't know I needed this in my stash until I tried it! love

sublime!
j'ai mis du temps à l'acheter sans pouvoir le tester en ammont. Le baume est parfait tant au niveau de la texture sur les lèvres que de la couleur qui est à la fois présente et douce comme je l'espérais. Mes lèvres au naturel en beaucoup mieux. L'odeur est aussi délicieuse

Love the Lipstick, Hate the Packaging!
This lipstick is absolutely gorgeous but the cap will not stay on! It is constantly falling off in my purse and getting on everything. Please rethink the packaging, it really is an issue and such a bummer for such a beautiful product!

Hi Kylie, So glad you love the Bisou Balm! We have passed this information to our product team and we are working on this.

So disappointing..
Never have I ever been as more excited to receive a lipstick in the post than I was this one. I had been eyeing up Bisou balm (in the shade Betise) for months. Finally, I bit the bullet and purchased it on payday. It was expensive in my opinion but it looked like the perfect red tone for me and promised to give a "just bitten" look to the lips. I honestly was so excited for this but upon receiving it today, I can honestly say that it was a waste of money. There is barely any colour pay-off even though the balm itself is a deep shade, it just looked invisible no matter how many layers I put on. It then turned to a brown colour which is absolutely not what I was after! Purchase at your own risk, but for £29 you can find something very similar and actually probably for much less than £29. I m gutted I didn't like this as I was so eagerly awaiting it's arrival. A real let down for me - sorry Violette Fr.

Love this lipstick balm. It's that perfect, blotted matte lip, that doesn't dry your lips out. I have 3 colors now!!!!

Happy customer
i made a new order- i am in love with boum boum milk and the texture of the matte lipstick. I would be happy to have a range of small testers for the eye colors.
