The Best Moisturizing Lipsticks to Fight Dry, Chapped Lips

The cooler months can be a tough time for beauty lovers in Canada — those harsh, frigid winds dry out lips and make it difficult to maintain smooth, kissable lips that everyone hopes to achieve. To combat chapped lips, we recommend using a moisturizing lip balm every night and a smoothing lip scrub before applying one of these fabulous lip products that are perfect for nourishing your lips during the cold-weather months.

Bite Beauty Power Move Hydrating Soft Matte Lipstick

This staff-favourite is ultra-soft and hydrating, employing nourishing cocoa butter to condition your pout and for lasting lightweight colour that simply smells delicious. The Canadian-brand lipstick is vegan, cruelty-free and includes a “Clean at Sephora” badge for its natural ingredients.

Cheekbone Beauty SUSTAIN Lipstick

Another locally-made fan favourite, Indigenous-owned Cheekbone Beauty is ultra-pigmented and buildable, offering a lux, creamy feel and velvet long-lasting colour. It is vegan, and marked “Clean at Sephora” for its carefully chosen ingredients like coconut and castor oil (protecting you against the cold weather elements) and healing, anti-inflammatory shea butter. Each SUSTAIN lipstick shade is named in one of over 7,000 Indigenous languages. The packaging too is biodegradable with vegetable ink and the ingredients are sustainably sourced, so you can not only look good but feel good also.

Charlotte Tilniru Matte Revolution Lipstick

Matte lipsticks are a perfect everyday look but many formulas can dry your lips out and cling to every bump or dry bit. Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution lipsticks not only give you long-lasting colour, but soften, hydrate and protect at the same time. Plus, 3D glowing pigments help create the illusion of fuller lips, giving you a plump and seductive pout.

MAC Satin Lipstick

MAC lipsticks come in hundreds of hues, but when you're reaching into your makeup bag this winter, opt for the shades that come in satin, cremesheen, amplified or glaze finishes and avoid their more drying matte formulas (I'm looking at you, Ruby Woo). Trust us, your lips will thank you.
