In our series Trial Run<\/a>, TZR editors and writers put the buzziest new beauty products to the test and share their honest reviews. This week, editorial director Angela Melero is testing the buzzy Westman Atelier Hydrobalm Tinted Lipstick<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

For years, I\u2019ve been pretty well known for my penchant for bright red, matte lipstick. I truly never met a bright coral I didn\u2019t like. That said, recently, I\u2019ve settled into a more practical, demure lipstick season of life. Of late, I\u2019ve found myself on a tinted balm journey, likely due to my need to simplify my routine \u2014 also red lipstick<\/a> is notoriously messy and high maintenance, and often ends up all over my chin and upper lip after a meal or overzealous sip from a coffee cup. I love the grab-and-go life that comes from a subtly colored balm and the fact that they double as moisturizers for my perpetually dry lips. <\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the issue: Not all tinted balms<\/a> live up to their promises. Many fall short in color payoff and go on way too sheer. Others are essentially glorified lipsticks that leave lips cakey and dry shortly after application, resulting in me constantly reaching for them to re-swipe and continue the vicious cycle. So, when I caught word of Westman Atelier\u2019s new Hydrobalm Tinted Lipstick was designed to strike the perfect balance of color and hydration, my interest was piqued. I\u2019ve been a fan of the brand\u2019s products since its 2018 founding by namesake and iconic makeup artist Gucci Westman<\/a>. While the brand spans both skin care, tools, and color cosmetics, its the latter that has had me in chokehold for the better half of the 2020s (I\u2019m a big fan of the Lip Suede Matte Lipstick and Baby Cheeks Blush Lipstick). <\/p>\n

Indeed, the brand\u2019s latest addition is formulated with moisture-retaining ingredients as well as soft buildable pigment that can skew subtle or bold. At first glance, it seemed like the perfect match for me, but I\u2019ve been burned by tinted balms before. To put it to the ultimate test, I took one of the 12 new shades along with me on my travels to New York for fashion week<\/a>. The soft, peach Nectar shade was a staple in my handbag as I ran around the city for shows, dinners, and countless coffee meetings. <\/p>\n

Ahead, my experience with Westman Atelier Hydrobalm Tinted Lipstick.<\/p>\n
