Editor's note: Here at Cosmo, we're all about being up to date with the latest drops from all the beauty brands, finding hidden gems already out there, and finding our next Holy Grail. And don't worry—we're not gatekeeping!
Every day, we post one beauty product from our stash at the office (because trust us, we get a lot of them) and give you a no-nonsense lowdown on each item. You get all the info in just one click. It's a TL;DR, if you will. They're all in one daily series: The Beauty FYP, a page that's all about beauty—just for you (see what we did there?). Let the Cosmo editors be your personal algorithm. ;)
While we'll always love our lippies with opaque AF pigment, our hearts will always hold space for sheer lipsticks. They're just so easy to use—all it takes is a direct swipe from the bullet and smooching your lips together and you'll immediately look more polished. Plus, they're usually loaded with more emollient ingredients that will make dry, chapped lips a thing of the past.
In case you're looking for a new sheer lippie, you might want to read today's #BeautyFYP. Korean beauty brand Romand recently released the Sheer Tinted Stick, which is a hybrid between a balm and a lipstick. Will it make it to your makeup kit? Read on to find out more:
What is the Romand Sheer Tinted Stick?
This latest drop from Romand is described as a "dewy, sheer tint" that's a hybrid between a balm and a lipstick—you get the best of both worlds with this product. Its formula softly melts onto the lips, leaving you with a sheer wash of color that also imparts a light stain.

In case you're wondering: It's different from the Romand Glasting Melting Balm, though they do look like they work the same way. The Tinted Sheer Stick is a balm-slash-lippie hybrid with sheer pigment and thinner consistency, while the Glasting Melting Balm is a mix between a balm and a gloss with a thicker texture. The more you know!
Who is the Romand Sheer Tinted Stick for?
The Sheer Tinted Stick is perfect if you're a "less is more" kind of girl who likes minimalist makeup looks. It's also a great product to use if you're always on the go since you can apply it anytime and anywhere, even without a mirror—no precision required!

What are the shades of the Romand Sheer Tinted Stick?
There are currently six shades in Romand's lineup of the Sheer Tinted Stick:
- 01 Bare Pumpkin: soft, nude beige
- 02 Bunny Hop: fresh, natural pink
- 03 Taffy Berry: vibrant red-pink
- 04 Camel Nuts: warm nutty brown
- 05 Dutch Cocoa: rich red-brown
- 06 In Vinery: deep red plum

How much is the Romand Sheer Tinted Stick and where can I buy it?
Each Sheer Tinted Stick costs P419. You can purchase it on Romand's official Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop stores. If you prefer to swatch it and try it on IRL before buying, you can do so at Romand's kiosks at Watsons, SM Beauty, and LOOK.
