4.7 (7,100) Amazon rating$17.06

Our verdict

A sheer, buildable tinted lip balm set in a warm Fig shade, best thought of as a color cosmetic with moisturizing benefits rather than a purely functional balm.

Check price on Amazon

Best for

Anyone who wants a natural looking wash of color on the lips along with basic hydration, or is shopping for a lip balm gift set.

Skip if

You want a plain, colorless balm with no tint or shimmer, or you only need a single tube rather than a 4 pack.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

["This is the Burt's Bees Shimmer Lip Tint Set in Fig, a 4 pack of tinted lip balm sticks priced at $17.06. Each stick delivers a sheer, luminescent finish in a deep, warm toned shade, so the product sits somewhere between a lip balm and a lightweight lipstick.", "The formula's main special ingredient is coconut oil, and the listing markets it for all day hydration alongside its color payoff. It is paraben free and suited to all skin types, and the buildable coverage means you can layer for more visible color or keep it sheer for a natural tint.", "With a 4.7 rating from around 7,100 reviews, this tinted set performs on par with some of Burt's Bees best regarded plain balms, which suggests the tint and shimmer finish have not come at the cost of comfort or wearability for most buyers."]

Pros

  • Strong 4.7 rating from roughly 7,100 reviews
  • Sheer, buildable color that reads as natural rather than heavy
  • Contains coconut oil for added hydration alongside the tint
  • Paraben free formula suited to all skin types
  • Comes as a 4 pack, useful as a gift set or for keeping one in multiple bags

Cons

  • Higher price than an unflavored, uncolored balm since you are paying for pigment and packaging
  • Only available in one shade family, Fig, across all 4 sticks
  • Not a fit for anyone who specifically wants a completely clear, tint free balm

Performance notes

Coconut oil is a lightweight emollient that helps a tinted balm glide on smoothly and feel less drying than pigmented products can sometimes feel. The sheer, buildable coverage described in the listing suggests a formula designed to layer for more color rather than deliver full opaque pigment in one swipe, which is typical of tinted balms meant to look natural. The warm undertone and deep shade depth mean Fig will lean more noticeable on lighter skin tones and more subtle on deeper ones.

What buyers say

A 4.7 rating across about 7,100 reviews is a strong result for a tinted, color cosmetic style balm, a category that can be more polarizing than plain lip balms since shade preference varies from person to person. That consistency suggests the sheer, buildable approach works well across a range of buyers.

Frequently asked questions

How much color does this lip tint actually add?

The listing describes it as a sheer, buildable formula with a luminescent finish, so a single swipe gives a light wash of color that you can layer for a more visible tint if you want.

Is this balm moisturizing or mainly for color?

It is formulated with coconut oil and marketed for all day hydration, so it is designed to function as both a tinted color product and a basic moisturizing lip balm at once.

Does the 4 pack include different shades?

No, this set is sold in the single Fig shade across all 4 sticks, which makes it well suited to buyers who want backups of one favorite color rather than a shade variety pack.
