Lip Balms of the Stars
New York Magazine's The Strategist recently published an article spilling the tea on which lip balms various celebrities rely on to get that camera-ready pout. Did your favorite make the cut?
Beyonce
Smith's Rosebud Salve Tin
"I love the Rosebud Salve in the blue can. I wear it with my lipstick. I did this trick last summer when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything!"
Michael Strahan
Burt's Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Beeswax Lip Balm
"When you're on TV and talk a lot, the one thing you can't have is chapped lips — especially with HD TV. Burt's always feels great and helps your lips to look the way they should."
Troye Sivan
Vaseline Lip Therapy Original
"I know it might not look like it because I constantly bite my lips but I'm obsessed with having moisturized lips. I would like to think that I'm like a connoisseur of sorts of lip balm and after many years of searching I've arrived at Vaseline Lip Therapy. It's just like classic, standard, and lasts for a few hours."
Brooke Shields
By Terry: Baume de Rose Lip Balm
"The consistency of this lip balm is just wonderful because it's thick enough without being too greasy. There are lip balms that get too lanolin-y or have petroleum and rub off, but this stays on the lips and keeps them moisturized and conditioned. I've tried so many other ones and just keep coming back to the Terry because I love the texture."
Drew Barrymore
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
"I can't live without Aquaphor. I put it on my lips like it's going out of style. I have the tiny tube, I have the industrial tube, I have the tub — I have all of it. I love Aquaphor."
Ellen Degeneres
Coola Mineral Liplux Nude Beach with SPF 30
"Pro tip: Always remember to apply sunscreen to the tops of your feet and the tops of your lips. This is for your lips, in case that wasn't clear."
Naomi Watts
Olio E Osso Natural Lip & Cheek Balm
"I'm a five-minute girl when I can be, but of course, time and place. [I like] products ... that are easy — like RMS concealer and Olio e Osso lip balms."
Gwyneth Paltrow
Love + Sage Well Red Lip Balm
"We'll keep it really simple. We're in the summertime, so I'm just going to end it with some lip balm."
Ellie Kemper
Carmex Lip Balm
"Nothing. Gets. It. Done. Like. Carmex. I should note here that I am NOT a Carmex ambassador. I just love this stuff. I have tried other lip balms in cool, creative containers and fruity scents. I have used oils and moisturizers and crèmes. And then I unscrew that red cap and gently squeeze that yellow tube, and out drifts that sweet menthol, and only then do I know that I am home."
Diane Lane
Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm
"I swear by Dr. Bronner's chapstick."
Jennifer Anniston
Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Lip Care Stick
"I love my Hauschka lip balm."
Salma Hayek
Sisley Paris Confort Extreme Nutritive Lip Balm
"I throw a Sisley lip balm in my purse."
