I recommend Hera Sensual Nude Balm for moisturized lips.

I felt that glowy makeup made my skin look a bit stale and tacky. I also dislike stickiness or shine, so I preferred a dry, flaky finish, like using a hard matte file. This applied not only to my base but also to point makeup like my lips and eyes. Of course, since my skin was oily back then, I used it comfortably. However, as my skin became combination (oily T-zone, dry cheeks), I started to really feel the dryness not only in my base but also in my lip makeup.

I like matte lipsticks that apply softly, but I started feeling like my lips were cracking and flaking was becoming noticeable before I knew it. As I became a mom of multiple children, I began to hesitate about using matte lipsticks because of the dryness, and I also felt that the time spent applying makeup was a waste. Consequently, my makeup routine gradually became simpler. At times like that, I started looking for moisturizing lip balms that are less sticky and create a natural look to match the simplicity.

I had been using products from other brands for a long time, but the Hera Sensual Nude Balm in Mute Pink really caught my eye. I first saw it on Unnie Deal, and I liked it the most because it was described as a neutral, dried rose shade. Although I usually have an autumn warm undertone, I have a lot of interest in and use pink shades; however, as expected, the pinks with too much presence didn't suit me. But I really liked this product because it applies moisturizingly, and the color works regardless of skin tone. Since my skin type has an autumn vibe, applying the lip balm gives off a naturally calm yet feminine and bright feeling, which I loved.

Since the color isn't too prominent, it's fine to apply it right after sunscreen. However, because it is a lip balm, the color doesn't last very long when worn over base makeup, so I mix it with other lip products. I use it by layering the Hera lip balm over a matte lip tint with good pigmentation. It relieves lip dryness and leaves them looking moisturized; the subtle yet rosy shade seems to add a certain atmosphere to my face and make it look luxurious.

It is a lip balm great for all four seasons. Although it has a formula that can be used freely, I think it is even better to use during the dry seasons. It provides moisture without stickiness even when reapplied, settles lightly on the lips, and the calm mood left on the face after application makes me keep reaching for the Hera Sensual Nude Balm in Mute Pink. I hope you experience the comfortable moisture that makes your lips look natural yet pretty.
