Biotique Starshimmer Glam Lipgloss (Just Kissed)

Biotique Starshimmer Glam Lipgloss in Just Kissed is an Ayurvedic-inspired nourishing lip gloss used to add a glossy, shimmering sheen and a touch of colour to the lips while keeping them soft and moisturised. From Biotique, which blends botanical care with colour cosmetics. For external use on the lips. It is traditionally used to:

• Add a glossy, shimmering finish and a hint of colour
• Nourish and moisturise the lips as you wear it
• Give a soft, plump-looking, glamorous lip finish

This nourishing gloss blends shine and colour with caring botanicals, typically including:

• Nourishing oils and butters that moisturise the lips
• Light-reflecting shimmer for a glossy, dimensional shine
• A hint of cosmetic colour and botanical extracts

From Biotique, it pairs botanical lip care with colour, and like all Biotique products is not tested on animals, so you get shine and a hint of colour with a moisturising feel.

It is for external use on the lips. A simple way to apply it:

1. Start with clean lips (over balm if they are dry).
2. Sweep the gloss over the lips with the applicator, alone or over lipstick.
3. Reapply through the day to refresh the shine.

Worn alone it gives a soft, glossy, natural look; worn over a lipstick it adds shine and dimension. A little goes a long way.

Both, and that is part of its versatility. Worn alone, the gloss gives lips a soft, fresh, glossy sheen with a hint of colour, perfect for an easy, natural look. Worn over a lipstick, it adds shine, shimmer and a plumper-looking finish, transforming a matte lip into a glamorous, glossy one. Many people keep a gloss like this to layer over their favourite lipstick or to wear solo on low-key days. Either way, it nourishes the lips as it shines.

This gloss is formulated to be nourishing and comfortable rather than heavily sticky, with moisturising oils and butters that help it feel smooth on the lips. All glosses have some tackiness, which is part of how they cling and shine, but a well-made nourishing gloss minimises that. If you dislike any stickiness, apply a thin layer and let it settle. For most people, it wears as a comfortable, glossy, moisturising shine rather than a heavy, gluey feel.

Yes, more so than many glosses, since it is formulated with nourishing oils and butters that moisturise the lips as you wear it, helping them feel soft and look fuller and healthier. The glossy finish also makes lips look smoother and more hydrated. That said, on very dry or chapped lips a nourishing lip balm underneath gives the best comfort and smoothest shine. It is a colour cosmetic, not a treatment, so for persistent cracking see a doctor. For soft, glossy, comfortable lips, it is a lovely choice.

Just Kissed is a soft, flattering gloss shade, and like most sheer glosses it tends to suit a wide range of skin tones, giving a natural, just-kissed flush that adapts a little to your own lip colour. Sheer, shimmering glosses are generally more universally wearable than bold opaque colours. The best way to know is to try it, alone or over a lipstick. If you want a different effect, layering it over various lipsticks changes the look. As a nourishing gloss, it flatters most people.

It pairs botanical lip care with colour cosmetics and is not tested on animals. A few simple precautions:

• For external use on the lips only.
• Do a patch test first if you have sensitive skin or allergies, and stop if irritation occurs.
• Avoid using it on cracked or broken lips, and remove it gently with a cleanser at the end of the day.

It is a colour cosmetic, not intended to treat any condition.
