There's no makeup mishap quite as annoying as smeared lipstick — unless, of course, it's getting your hair stuck to your sticky gloss. When the weather is nice out and you're getting ready for picnics, music festivals, and days at the beach, the last thing you want to worry about is your makeup. That's why gloss-balm hybrid sticks are the ideal choice to wear all season long: they are sheer enough to not worry about smearing and leave the stickiness out of the equation entirely.
Each chubby crayon is easy to apply, packed with shiny color and hydrating ingredients, and is perfect for when you want to look pulled together with minimal effort. Check out the best ones ahead.
