| Verdict | The lip tint that made Peripera famous, and still arguably the best velvet matte lip product under $15. The formula glides on like a mousse, sets to a blurred soft-matte finish, and lasts through coffee. The shade range is enormous and consistently flattering. | Romand's entry into lip care. A ceramide and shea butter balm that melts into lips, providing deep moisture with a subtle tint. Perfect as a base before lip tints or as an overnight treatment. The shade options make it cute enough to wear alone. |
