Because some of any lip product is swallowed through the day, we hold lip products to a stricter standard and exclude any with an undisclosed fragrance, parfum or aroma blend; this one contains none, and its ingredient list matches the brand's own.

The effect is light bouncing off a wet surface, not a pale pigment sitting on top, so the clear shade adds sheen without lightening or greying the tone underneath.

The Hince Dewy Liquid Cheek absorbs in seconds and adds no oil of its own, so what you are managing on oily skin is the finish rather than the formula. Kept sheer it reads as a flush; laid on thick, the dew will look like shine by lunchtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I apply it over foundation without lifting the base?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Use a small amount and tap rather than sweep.
