Luckily, cosmetics companies have gotten the hint.
Brands have started formulating offerings that are lightweight, moisturizing, and, yes, you guessed, non-sticky.
“It is smooth, hydrating, and adds the perfect amount of color to the lip.
It’s like a dewy highlight for your lips.
Then again, would you expect any less?
