Bisou Balm

“I was looking for a bright red everyday lippie that’s easy to apply, and this one is just perfect. Amazing velvety texture and feel on the lips — I’d previously only experienced something similar with Korean brands.”

“When I tell you this is THE BEST lip product of all time. It’s matte but somehow moisturizing and gives you that sexy French girl blurred lip. You can apply it without a mirror (huzzah!) and there is not a single bad shade. I’m obsessed with Calisson because it’s the perfect nude but I love Betise, Mon Cheri and the new Chocolat color too. Beautiful on every skin tone (huzzah!) I’m also obsessed with their violently purple blush it looks absolutely gorgeous on and terrifying in the pan.”

“Best. Lip. EVER. Just trust me”

“What Syd said here. Sorry to use an annoying phrase but you want that "cool girl" (puke) red color look without feeling like you're playing a bit part in community theater, this is waiting for you. Lasts forever too.”

“Frankly all of their bisou balm and plume lip, worth getting in every colour that suits you. Easy to throw on and walks the dream line between casual and fancy.”

“It’s moisturizing AND matte!”

“The color my lips long to be, perfectly formulated in a soft, blurred cream. 10/10.”

“The best for bold lip color without the heaviness of lipstick.”

“Love these lipsticks so much. I have them in almost every color. The formula is slightly sheer and matte, so it looks like it’s just your lips. It’s super buildable if you want a subtle or more intense color. My favorite shade is probably Bêtise but they are truly all beautiful. They have a lovely smell when you apply them (but not strong enough to notice while wearing).”

“Violette_fr have some gorgeous rouge options”

“Soft. Blurry. Just kissed. Blendable. Layerable. I bought in four colors. 💋”

“I want this lip product to come in like 1000 colors and I want to own them all. The feel on the lips is creamy perfection and it quickly becomes a matte finish that is hard to get rid of. When I wear a lip I want it to lock in. I hate reapplying and reapplying all day.”

“Betisse is THE shade for the perfect subtle tint. Great texture too... building and matte without feeling dry.”

“Hard agree! Rose latte is the perfect every day color!”

“A French-girl lip without the precision work”

“As good as everyone says. Matte but not drying, a little blurry, no icky flavor.”

“I still need to try Bisou Balm but I have this one and it's excellent 💋 I apply the teensiest amount to get a subtle wash of color!”

“My tie for first place HG lip product—blurred, matte, your lips but better. A more rosy version of tilbury’s (no)walk of shame, my previous HG”

“Vamp in daytime needs matte lips. This one is soft and blurry, the effortless one.”

“Great for making out. Between a blurring stain and a lipstick, doesn’t make a huge mess, I really like the colors and they last forever.”

“Everyday lip colour”

“Absolutely obsessed with this as well! Betiste is my favorite shade, and it can do no wrong. I’ve been chasing dupes but nothing quite compares for the long lasting, lived in, easy wear of these lipsticks!”

“Most of my lip product recs are from violette fr. This balm isn’t sticky, is highly nourishing, and it doesn’t pill or taste like wax. I love love the ceramic applicator specially in summer months when it’s soothing. I just tried the tinted version and it delivers as well.”

“I fell for the hype and it did not disappoint! I've been wearing Châtaigne Grillée all summer and it's the perfect soft, undone lip (this from a lipstick hater)”

“Truly, the BEST”

“Agreed! This is my fav.”

“Perfect summer lip”

“Friends and I of all shades love to exchange lipsticks. You receive colors you may never try and they somehow always look great.”

“I’ve never loved a lipstick more 💋”

“Mon Cheri and Amour Fou”

“THE shade.”

“I will never stop talking about this product. The shade, Calisson, is your lips but better. Sheer, blurry, matte, no mirror required, no weird taste, doesn’t dry out your lips…it’s like when you want lipstick but no commitment.”
