Most women love to wear lipstick. After all, that extra pop of color just sets the tone for the entire day, or date night. What we may not realize though is that lipstick has other benefits, such as being a barrier from the wind or offering us protection from the sun. Here are some great examples of lipsticks that offer several benefits in addition to making us look ravishing:

1. Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint

This one even says it is a lip tint, not lipstick. A lipstick can often feel heavy, but this one is meant to be lightweight. It stains your lips to a “just bitten” pink color that blends well with your natural skin tone. Like many others, Bobbi Brown points out that this is a part of your skincare routine as it helps soften your lips immediately, as well as, over time. One of the best parts though is the lack of flakes that the lipstick will provide you.

2. Estee Lauder Rose Balm Lipstick

This lipstick might be more of what you are looking for if you prefer it to have a little more weight to it. This is the only lipstick on the list that is medium weight. It does provide many benefits, including, the ability to help seal in moisture through the use of natural wax. They state that this is similar to the way a rose seals itself from the elements, which explains why the lipstick gives off a slight smell of roses that eventually fades.

3. Laura Mercier Sheer Lip Color

If you have ever tried matte lipstick, you know that some brands feel really dry when they are on your lips. Not this semi-matte finish though! It boasts anti-aging, hydration, conditioning, and even plumping powers. Even better, it doesn’t feather or bleed onto clothes and boasts long-wear times.

4. Mac Tendertalk

Like the previously mentioned Bobbi Brown lipstick, MAC talks about their lipstick as a part of your skincare routine. Tendertalk is a lip conditioner, which will boost smooth lips and hydration. This lipstick will also contour to fit your skin tone needs. What might set it apart though, is the hint of vanilla in lipstick.

5. Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme Intense Matte Lip Color

This lipstick has antioxidants in it already. Some of the ingredients include vitamin E and almond oil in it to help protect your lips from the harsh elements. In addition, this is the only lipstick on the list to offer a full matte finish for those moments when you don’t need the extra shine to stand out.
