From a subtle sheen on cheeks creating a minimalist pop of colour to bold orange lips and neon-inspired eye creations. You can recreate these looks and create your own with our​ Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Peach Pink Balm​ and ​Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Outrageous Orange Balm.

The Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Balms are infused with our multi-award winning original balm formula.
