VOTARY Lip and Cheek Tint in Sandalwood is a versatile, multi-purpose colour balm designed to bring a little warmth and freshness to your complexion. Its buttery texture melts into the skin and lips, creating a soft, natural-looking flush that can be built up from a subtle hint of colour to a richer, dewier finish.
Sandalwood is a beautiful pinky-brown nude shade, making it a lovely choice if you prefer understated colour that enhances your natural complexion rather than overpowering it. It adds warmth and definition while keeping the overall look fresh and effortless.
What makes this tint particularly appealing is the combination of makeup and nourishing skincare ingredients. Hyaluronic acid, in the form of sodium hyaluronate, helps attract and retain moisture, while avocado oil and shea butter soften and condition the skin and lips. Cocoa butter adds further nourishment, helping create that comfortable, balm-like texture.
The formula is lightweight and blendable, so you can apply it with your fingertips and build the colour gradually. Worn on the cheeks, it creates a fresh, dewy finish; on the lips, it gives a soft wash of colour with a moisturising feel.
For me, multi-purpose products like this are particularly useful when you want a polished look without using lots of different products. The coordinating lip and cheek colour helps bring your makeup together, while the sheer, buildable finish makes it easy to adapt from everyday makeup to something a little more defined.
VOTARY states that its colour formulas are dermatologically tested for suitability for sensitive skin. The tint is also vegan, cruelty-free and made in England.
