I didn’t think I’d ever get excited about a lip tint again… but rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint in 01 Pomelo Skin totally changed that for me. As someone who’s all about wearable, everyday makeup, I’ve tried my fair share of “MLBB” shades over the years. But let’s be real. Most of them either pull too brown, too cool, or just kind of… disappear on my lips. I’m also one of those people who feel like bold lips wear me, not the other way around. So finding a lip product that enhances rather than overwhelms? That’s rare.

When I first swatched Pomelo Skin, I had a feeling I’d love it. But once I actually put it on, I was shocked at how accurately it matched the photos on the official site. 

I don’t say this lightly, but this is one of the very few tints I’ve tried that actually delivers what it promises. The finish is this smooth, juicy gloss that doesn’t look overly shiny or artificial. It’s more of a “your lips, but sugar-coated” effect. It has that translucent softness that just makes your lips look healthy and plump without trying too hard.

And the shade? I like to use warm tones lip products, and Pomelo Skin hits that sweet spot between rosy and beige that flatters without washing me out. It’s that kind of subtle elegance that somehow makes your entire face look more pulled together. I’ve been reaching for it constantly—alone on no-makeup days, or as a base under other lip colors. Either way, it always works.

One of my favorite things is how low-maintenance it is. I can swipe it on in two seconds, no mirror needed, and it somehow always looks polished. It fades evenly, doesn’t cling to dry patches, and most importantly, doesn’t require babysitting throughout the day. It’s lightweight, moisturizing, and just a joy to wear.

Honestly, in an era where “MLBB” is no longer a novelty but a staple, it’s hard to find something that still feels fresh. But Pomelo Skin doesn’t just check the boxes—it completely owns the category. If you’ve been on the hunt for a go-to everyday lip that flatters, lasts, and just makes you feel put together, this one might be it.

I’m calling it now. This is my ride-or-die MLBB shade.
