6 / 7Sisley Le Phyto Rouge, $68, in 20 shades This lipcare lipstick doesn’t just moisturise lips, it can even heal chapped lips (yes, we’ve tried it) thanks to its Hydrobooster complex that is made up of hyaluronic acid and konjac glucomannans. Plus, the colour payoff is intense, so it’s perfect for those who find that tinted lip balms are not bold enough, and lipsticks are not comfortable enough.
Available at Sisley counters
