Decision paralysis incoming: CELINE BEAUTÉ launches matte lip balm, all 8 shades look so luxe
Even lip balm can have a high-end matte finish!
Since CELINE BEAUTÉ officially entered the beauty market in October 2024, its signature satin red lip has become a vanity essential for many fashion lovers. Continuing this wave of couture-inspired beauty, the brand has announced a new addition to the LE ROUGE CELINE line for April 2026: a new Matte Tinted Lip Balm. Once again, the brand brings together lip-care benefits and a stylish matte finish in pursuit of exceptional texture. If you love a natural, unfussy French look, this collection is sure to win you over again.

A silver case with architectural lines
Unlike the gold case from the first launch, this Matte Tinted Lip Balm comes in a gleaming silver metal case, giving it a cooler, more modern feel. Its design draws across eras, blending late-18th-century French Neoclassicism with Art Deco’s modern minimalism. The top is embossed with the brand’s signature Triomphe logo, while the middle is subtly engraved with “Le Rouge CELINE Paris,” making it feel like a work of art in your hand. It also features a refillable design, balancing beauty with sustainability.
A nourishing formula from LVMH laboratories
The balm has a fine, creamy texture that gives lips an enveloping feel upon application. Developed exclusively for CELINE by LVMH laboratories, the formula combines black rose essential oil extract and hyaluronic acid microspheres to continuously nourish the lips. It also contains naturally derived ingredients including plant oils, squalane, sunflower wax, rice wax, and beeswax, challenging the idea that matte equals dry. The result maintains its finish while delivering high comfort and hydration.
A signature French powdery scent
Beyond sight and touch, CELINE has also put considerable thought into the scent. This lipstick has a delicate rose fragrance that echoes the signature powdery notes of CELINE’s haute parfumerie collection, making every touch-up a luxurious sensory experience.
The lineup includes 1 universal clear shade and 7 buildable tinted lip colors, and is expected to launch in April 2026. Compared with other matte lipsticks on the market, CELINE has done an excellent job balancing lip care and a matte finish, demonstrating the brand’s strong R&D capabilities.
