If there is one makeup product I have in abundance, it’s lip products. Lipsticks, lip glosses, tinted lip balms, lip oils – I love them all. And this year has been the year of the tinted lip balm! So many new ones have been released and more colors have been released in old favorites. Even though I like wearing a full face of makeup nearly every day, I love the idea of a moisturizing lip balm with a bit of tint to wear either alone or layered over another lip product.

Tinted lip balms are a great way to hydrate, moisturize and protect your lips while also giving them a hint of color. Some are good at providing great color while others have really intense nourishing properties, and some manage to blend the best of both worlds into one formula. When choosing a tinted lip balm, you should consider how much pigment you want, the application you prefer and whether you want it also provide other benefits such as sun protection. There is definitely something out there for everyone and I am sharing a round up of the best tinted lip balms from my lip balm collection and what I love about each formula.

11 Best Tinted Lip Balms

Best Hydrating Tinted Lip Balms

Jones Road Beauty Lip Recharge

There are a MILLION lip balms and lip treatments out there but I was instantly blown away by this new launch from Jones Road. It has a ton of slip to it but doesn’t feel sticky. The shine it gives is almost glass-like while also having a gorgeous minty fresh scent.

Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Hydrating Lip Treatment

So many people have been telling me to try this lip balm formula and that once I did, I would immediately fall in love with it. I can confidently say that are 100% correct. It is incredibly comfortable on the lips, creamy and smooth without being sticky. It feels nourishing and delivers just enough color and pigment.

Tatcha Melting Lip Balm

Another tinted lip balm?? This was my exact thought when I received these. And then I tried them. Immediate 10/10. The texture is silky, smooth and creamy while leaving a nice natural finish on the lips. Nothing too shiny or glassy. The colors give just enough tint to the lips to wear alone but can also be layered over another lip product.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm

Another Westman Atelier favorite. My love for the brand continues to grow. This is a buildable liquid lip balm that gives really great color payoff while still feeling weightless on the lips.

Tower 28 LipSoftie Hydrating Tinted Lip Treatment Balm

The formula is incredible and makes the lips feel nourished while still delivering a ton of pigment and coverage.

Best Drugstore Tinted Lip Balms

L’Oreal Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick

The formula is truly the best of both worlds with a lipstick formula that wears and feels like a moisturizing lip balm. It’s quite sheer which makes it easy to throw on and go and it’s gentle enough for sensitive lips.

Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm

Though these are not actually sold at the drugstore, the price point is comparable to that of those found in the drugstore. For $10, these are have a creamy nourishing feel and the perfect amount of color. There are a ton of colors to choose from – everything from neutral tones to soft plums, vibrant pinks and reds.

Colourpop Fresh Kiss Glossy Balm

A plush and juicy tinted balm formula that gives a small touch of color to the lips. I personally love a scented lip balm which these are but if you don’t want something heavily fragranced, these would not be a good option. All the scents are enjoyable and match the shades perfectly.

Best Tinted Lip Balms with SPF

OneSkin OS-01 Lip Shield SPF 15 in Bare Blush (discount code: MAREE15)

I love everything OneSkin does so I knew I would adore this new lip launch. And I was right! But I didn’t just adore it – it immediately became a favorite. The color is the perfect neutral everyday pink that I can wear with any makeup look. It feels nourishing with no tackiness (and no weird sunscreen scent).

Best Plumping Tinted Lip Balms

Mutha Pucker Up Lip Plump (discount code: MAREE15)

The plumping aspect of this is very minimal so there is no burning or uncomfortable tingling sensation. It’s a cushiony formula that delivers a ton of shine, hydration and blurring properties. The colors are all incredibly wearable, giving just enough tint without being too bold.

Best Natural Tinted Lip Balms

Versed Cashmere Color Smoothing Lip Blush

If a glossy lip is not your preference, these soft-matte tinted lip balms are exactly what you need. The formula is so smooth and leaves a beautifully blurred finish to the lips with just a hint of color. These don’t have a ton of pigment so the color payoff will be very soft and natural. Perfect for an everyday no-makeup makeup look!

A denim jacket is a staple in my closet. They can easily be styled for different seasons, with various outfits, and for multiple occasions. The right denim jacket can instantly make an outfit feel more balanced, relaxed, and styled without looking overdone. But with the wrong denim jacket, an outfit can easily feel outdated or bulky when proportions, washes, or layering pieces do not work together. In today’s post, I’ll be sharing a round up of outfits that you can wear with denim jackets.

6 Outfits With a Denim Jacket

Denim jackets work across every season, outfit styles, and layering combinations. They can easily transition from casual daytime looks to elevated everyday outfits while still feeling effortless and wearable. It’s important to focus on balanced proportions, updated silhouettes, and intentional styling rather than overly complicated trends in order to make your denim jacket outfits feel more modern.

Are Denim Jackets in Style?

Always and forever! A classic denim jacket will NEVER go out of style. It’s best to invest in a classic blue shade first and then experiment with black denim or white denim as you grow your collection. You will definitely see denim jackets adapt to changing trends and seasonal layering, but classic cuts always stay relevant. Modern denim jacket outfits now lean toward looser fits, relaxed silhouettes, cleaner washes, and more intentional layering combinations. For more unique and fashion forward denim jackets, check out this post I did sharing different types of denim jackets for women.

What To Wear With a Denim Jacket

Skirts

Any length skirt will work with a denim jacket so feel free to choose one that fits your personal style. I personally like pleated or a-line midi skirts styled with a classic denim jacket for a relaxed yet elevated look.

Sundress

A denim jacket worn with a floral sundress will always be a great combination. The feminine more delicate print of the dress will complement the structured denim perfectly.

Striped tee

There is nothing more classic and timeless than a denim jacket worn with a striped tee. Pair it with jeans, linen pants or trousers depending on the occasion.

How To Style Denim Jackets

Balance oversized jackets with fitted bottoms

If you want a roomier fit in your denim jacket, be sure to wear it with something a bit slimmer to balance out the proportions.

Pair cropped jackets with high-waisted pieces

In order to achieve a cohesive look with a cropped jacket, you need to make up the difference in length with whatever you wear on the bottom. So a high-waisted piece is your best option to complete the look.

Roll sleeves for relaxed styling

Besides my winter coats, I rarely ever wear my jackets or blazers fully to my wrists. Cuffing them or pushing them up a bit on the arm is always my preferred way to wear them. It gives an effortless chic look with very little effort.

Layer monochrome basics underneath

One of my favorite go-to looks to wear with my denim jacket is a monochromatic base. Adding the denim jacket breaks up the head-to-toe color in a way that looks cohesive and intentional.

Mix textures like satin, leather, and linen

Playing around with different textures in an outfit is one of the best ways to create a well styled look.

Double denim

Yes, wearing a denim jacket with jeans (referred to as a Canadian tuxedo sometimes) is always something that looks cool and stylish. Try to keep the washes similar in tone but definitely play up the accessories!

Denim Jacket Outfits

It can be hard to decide what sort of outerwear piece to put with a jumpsuit or something that has an athleisure aesthetic. A denim jacket will always be a great option because it’s casual enough but still looks put together.

Denim jacket with a tank dress

Outfit details: Dress (similar) | Denim Jacket | Sneakers (similar) | Bag | Sunglasses

One of my favorite ways to wear my denim jacket is tied around the waist. Especially when I am wearing a simple tank or t-shirt dress, it helps to break up the look and add some shape to the outfit. And then when I get chilly, I can wear the jacket! LOL

Denim jacket with a floral midi dress

Outfit details: Jacket (similar) | Dress (similar) | Sandals | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

Combining a delicate item in your closet like this floral dress with a harder fabric like denim is the perfect balance. It makes the dress more suitable for casual outings. I prefer a light wash jean jacket with floral but a classic blue would look great too.

Denim jacket with wide leg pants

Outfit details: Jacket  (similar) | Shirt (similar) | Pants (similar) | Shoes | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

Since my jacket is a tad more fitted through the shoulders and body, it helps to balance out the flowy fit of the pants. Additionally, the outfit underneath is monochromatic which always looks great paired with a denim jacket.

Denim jacket with a striped tee

Outfit details: Jacket | Tee | Jeans | Sneakers | Bag | Sunglasses

This is the ultimate denim jacket styling suggestion in my opinion. Straight leg jeans, a simple striped tee, chic sneakers and a denim jacket is an outfit you can rewear year after year and never worry about it going out of style. If you aren’t a fan of stripes, you could switch it out for a basic white t shirt for the same look.

Denim jacket with a sundress

Outfit details: Jacket | Dress | Sandals | Necklace | Bag

The slightly more feminine version of a classic denim jacket outfit like the last option is wearing it with a simple striped sundress. It’s an effortless and timeless look that would look great on anyone.
