Lip Tint vs Lipstick vs Lip Gloss: Which One Should You Use?

Lip tints, lipsticks and glosses all add colour, but they look and feel very different. Here is a simple guide to help you choose, or combine them.
Lip tint: light and natural
A lip tint gives a sheer, stained look that feels almost like nothing on the lips. It is perfect for no-makeup days, college, the gym, or when you want a quick hint of colour. Thirsty Lip Tint goes on vivid orange and reacts to your lips to reveal your own coral pink, with a fresh watermelon scent. You can also tap it onto your cheeks for a matching flush.

Liquid matte lipstick: bold, full colour
A liquid matte lipstick gives rich, opaque colour with a velvety matte finish. Choose it when you want your lips to be the focus: work events, weddings, Eid and nights out. TT liquid mattes are enriched with Vitamin E, paraben free and halal. Find yours in our liquid matte collection, from nudes like Solace to reds like Ruby.
Lip gloss: shine and dimension
Gloss adds shine and makes lips look fuller. Wear Confetti (sheer pink) or Cheeky (rusty orange) on their own, or layer them over a liquid matte for shine and a hydrating boost. For parties, Stardust adds gold glitter on top of any shade.
Tinted lip balm: colour plus care
If your lips are dry, a tinted balm gives soft colour while it hydrates. Balmazing Frosty Rose and Balmazing Peachy Petals are made with hyaluronic acid for soft, glossy lips.
