Can I use it under lipstick, or will it make the color slide off?

Yes, you can use this balm under lipstick, but timing is key to prevent the color from sliding. Apply the balm and let it absorb for a few minutes—enough time for the sea buckthorn extract and emollients to condition the lip surface. Then gently blot off any excess with a tissue. This leaves a smoother, softened canvas that can help lipstick apply more evenly, especially if dryness was causing it to emphasize flakes or patchiness.

The balm's role is to soften the surface and reduce dryness, not to provide a heavy, waxy base. For best results, use it as part of your preparation routine before makeup, such as after cleansing or before going outdoors in cold weather. Remember that its olive leaf aroma is light and should not interfere with the scent or taste of your lipstick. If you experience any stinging or irritation, pause use and consult a specialist if you have chronic skin conditions.
