Dior Addict Lip Glow Lip Balm

The cult-favourite Dior Addict Lip Glow is both lip care and makeup in one. Its formula reacts with your lips’ pH levels to deliver a natural “custom” colour and radiant glow.

I have very dry lips, so they’re hard to please, but Dior Lip Glow has consistently helped keep them flake-free. It also comes in different tints to add a bit of colour, although I typically use the clear ones. Two of my besties love it too, so now we have matching lip balms!” – Kristen Juliet Soh, Editorial Director
