Description
What it is
The Lip Glowy Balm is the daytime sibling of Laneige’s famous overnight lip mask. It comes in a soft squeeze tube with a slanted tip, so you can apply it on the go without a spatula. The texture is lighter and slicker than the night mask, and it leaves a glossy, juicy-looking shine rather than a heavy coat.
The Berry shade gives a sheer pink wash of colour that suits most lip tones and can be built up with a second layer. It is meant to keep lips comfortable through the day, on its own or over a lipstick that tends to feel dry.
Key ingredients
- Shea butter: softens lips and helps hold in moisture.
- Murumuru seed butter: adds a smooth, conditioning feel.
- Berry and fruit extracts: raspberry, blueberry, cranberry, strawberry and goji extracts that form the brand’s fruit complex.
- Emollient esters and polymers: create the glossy, cushiony finish.
- Waxes (candelilla, carnauba, microcrystalline): give the balm enough body to stay on the lips.

Who it suits
It suits anyone who wants a comfortable balm with a hint of colour, especially people who already like the Lip Sleeping Mask but want something less sticky for daytime. A simple routine is the glowy balm by day and the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Berry at night.
Who should be careful
The balm contains fragrance and a red colourant, which can bother very sensitive lips. Because it is glossy, it does not offer sun protection, so use a lip product with SPF when you are outdoors for long periods.
Patch test first. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 to 48 hours before using it on the face.

Frequently asked questions

How much colour does Berry give?
It gives a sheer pink tint that builds slightly with layers. It is more of a wash of colour than a lipstick.
Can I wear it over lipstick?
Yes. It works as a glossy top coat and can make drier lipsticks feel more comfortable.
