How to Layer Bisou Balm and Balm Amour for a Custom Lip Color

Quick answer

Start with a sheer layer of Bisou Balm to moisturize, then add Balm Amour in Rose Latte or Noisette on top for depth and a hint of color. Layer more for intensity—this technique gives you a custom shade without drying your lips.

Step-by-step layering guide

1. Prep with a sheer base layer of Bisou Balm: Apply a thin layer of Bisou Balm all over clean lips. Massage gently for even coverage. This base locks in moisture and creates a smooth canvas for color. Don't use a thick layer—it can make the top balm slide off. A light coat is enough.
2. Choose your first Balm Amour shade: Select Rose Latte for a soft pink or Noisette for warm beige. Swipe once from the center outward, staying inside your lip line. Start with one shade to see how it blends with your base. You can always add more later.
3. Apply a second shade for depth: Before the first layer sets fully, add a thin swipe of the other Balm Amour shade to the center of your lips. Press lips together to blend outward. Avoid rubbing the balms together—pressing blends them smoothly without disturbing the pigment.
4. Build intensity as desired: If you want a bolder color, wait 10 seconds for the first layers to set, then add another swipe of Balm Amour to the whole lip. Two layers are usually enough. More than three can feel heavy and may cause feathering.
