Can I use this lip balm under my lipstick?

Yes, this type of clear, non-glossy balm is designed to be used before lipstick. Its primary function, based on the provided ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter, is to create a soft, smooth surface by adding a layer of moisture and helping to temporarily smooth flaky areas. This can make lipstick application easier and help the color appear more even, as dry patches are less likely to grab pigment and cause unevenness.

For best results, apply a small amount of the lip balm and let it absorb for a minute or two before applying your lipstick. This gives the emollient oils a chance to soften the skin without leaving a residue that might make the lipstick slide off. It's a common practice for those who find that matte or long-wearing lipsticks in particular can feel drying or look patchy on bare, unprepared lips.
