About ME-LIPS
What is ME-LIPS?
ME-LIPS™ 4-in-1 Color-Adaptive Lip & Cheek Tint Balm is a brush-applied, buildable balm for lips and cheeks, offered in two shades: Pink Glow and Warm Red Glow. One jar serves as lip balm, lip tint, lip stain and cheek tint. The color develops after application and the result varies by natural lip color and layers.
What makes the ME-LIPS 4-in-1 Color-Adaptive Lip & Cheek Tint Balm special?
ME-LIPS combines four beauty benefits in one versatile formula:
Lip balm
Lip tint
Long-lasting lip stain
Cheek tint
The balm adapts to your natural lip chemistry to create a personalized pink or warm red tone. Apply one light layer for a soft flush or build additional layers for a richer, more vibrant finish.
What makes ME-LIPS different from a traditional lipstick?
Unlike a traditional lipstick, ME-LIPS™ combines buildable color with moisturizing oils, butters, waxes, sodium hyaluronate, and vitamin E.
It can be worn as a nourishing balm, a natural-looking tint, a longer-lasting stain, or a cheek tint. The final color develops uniquely on each person.
02
Shades & color
How does the color adapt?
ME-LIPS is a pH-adaptive, color-developing balm. Your natural lip color, individual lip chemistry (including pH) and the number of layers can influence the pink-red shade you see.
Which shade should I choose?
Pink Glow creates a fresh, cool pink appearance.
Warm Red Glow creates a warmer rose-red appearance with added richness.
Both shades are designed for a wide range of skin tones and natural lip colors.
Will ME-LIPS work on dark or naturally pigmented lips?
ME-LIPS™ was created for a wide range of skin tones and natural lip colors, from fair to deep complexions. Because the formula is color-adaptive, the final shade will develop differently on each person.
On naturally pigmented lips, additional layers may create a more visible and vibrant result.
Can I mix Pink Glow and Warm Red Glow?
Yes. The two shades can be layered to create a customized color.
Try:
Pink Glow first, followed by Warm Red Glow
Warm Red Glow first, followed by Pink Glow
One thin layer of each shade
Allow the color to develop between layers and experiment until you find your preferred combination.
How many layers should I apply?
Begin with one thin layer.
1 layer: Soft, natural flush
2 layers: Richer everyday color
3 or more layers: Bold, vibrant color
Allow each layer to begin developing before applying the next.
03
Wear & application
How long does the color last?
The color is designed to last for several hours. The nourishing balm layer will gradually wear away while a natural-looking tint may remain.
Wear time varies depending on your natural lip chemistry and activities such as eating, drinking, or wiping your lips.
Does ME-LIPS stain?
Yes. ME-LIPS leaves a tint behind after the moisturizing balm wears away.
The product may also temporarily stain the lips, cheeks, or surrounding skin. Cleanser or soap and water can be used for removal, although more than one wash may sometimes be required.
How do I apply ME-LIPS to my lips?
Use a clean lip brush to apply a thin, even layer. Outline the lips first, then fill in the remaining area.
Allow the color to develop before adding another layer for greater intensity.
Can I use it on my cheeks?
Yes. Apply a very small amount to the cheeks and blend promptly with clean fingertips, a cosmetic brush, or a makeup sponge.
Build gradually because the color can become more intense as it develops.
Can I use ME-LIPS as a lip balm?
Yes. ME-LIPS contains moisturizing oils, butters, waxes, lanolin oil, sodium hyaluronate, and vitamin E.
Apply a light layer when you want nourishing moisture with a subtle tint.
Will it dry out my lips?
The formula contains moisturizing ingredients intended to help lips feel soft and conditioned, including shea butter, cocoa butter, lanolin oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower seed oil, castor seed oil, sodium hyaluronate, and vitamin E.
Individual experiences can vary, so discontinue use if irritation or discomfort occurs.
Is ME-LIPS suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. ME-LIPS™ is designed for everyday cosmetic use.
Wear one light layer for a soft, natural look or add layers when you want a more vibrant finish.

Sensitive skin & safety
Is ME-LIPS suitable for sensitive lips?
ME-LIPS contains moisturizing and conditioning ingredients, but every person's skin and lips are different.
Customers with sensitive skin, known allergies, or sensitivities to ingredients such as lanolin, beeswax, sweet almond oil, or colorants should review the full ingredient list and perform a small patch test before use.
I am concerned about allergies. What should I do?
Read the complete ingredient list before applying the product.
Apply a small amount to a limited area before your first full application. Stop using the product if irritation, swelling, burning, or another reaction occurs.
Consult a qualified healthcare professional when you have a known allergy or a specific medical concern.
Are ME-LIPS ingredients safe?
The ingredients listed in the approved formulation are cosmetic ingredients and are identified as being listed in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook.
As with any cosmetic, customers should follow the directions, review the ingredient list, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
