Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm

Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm takes the pH-reactive formula Dior is known for and puts it in a balm texture — sheer, glowy colour that reads slightly differently on every pair of lips. It comes in 15 shades across cool and newer warm undertones, with cherry extract and shea butter doing the conditioning work.

What it actually does

• Colour that adjusts to you. The formula responds to the pH of your lips, so the shade that appears is custom to you rather than fixed in the bullet.
• Balm first, makeup second. Dior describes it as the point where lip care meets lip colour — the payoff is a sheer radiant glow, not opaque pigment.
• 48-hour hydration, per the brand. Dior reports this from an instrumental test on 31 subjects.
• Smoother-looking lips for 8 hours. Also a brand figure, from an instrumental test on 20 women.
• Two conditioning ingredients called out. Cherry extract to nourish and hydrate, shea butter to nourish.
• Buildable. The same tube can give a barely-there tint or something closer to real colour, depending on how many passes you do.

How to use

1. Apply straight from the bullet to bare lips. One pass gives the sheerest version.
2. Add coats to dial it up. Dior's own direction: layer more until you reach the intensity you want, from subtle tinted glow to fuller colour.
3. Give it a moment. Because the colour is pH-activated, what you see immediately isn't always the final shade — let it settle before deciding to add more.

Questions

Will the shade I pick look like it does in the photo?

Not exactly — and that's the point of the formula. It reacts to your lips' pH to produce a custom result, so the same stick can read warmer or cooler from one person to the next. Treat swatches as a direction, not a guarantee.

How many shades are there?

Fifteen, spanning cool undertones plus warm ones added in the extended range.

Is this a balm or a lipstick?

Dior classes it as a lip balm and treatment, with hydrating and plumping listed as its benefits. The colour is sheer, so it behaves more like a tinted care product than a lipstick.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades we hold in stock ship at the faster end; a shade we source for you takes longer. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays, and we'll be in touch if a shipping or customs delay comes up. See our Shipping Policy.

What payment methods can I use?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. Cash on delivery isn't available.

Can I return it if the shade isn't for me?

No — we only take back items that arrive defective, damaged or expired, reported within 1 day of delivery with a photo. Verified cases are refunded to the original payment method within 15 to 30 days. If you're unsure which shade to choose, message us before ordering. Full terms in our Return & Refund Policy.
