5 Affordable Lip Balms That Feel Like a Dior Moment, But on a Budget

5 Best Affordable High-End Lip Balm Dupes

Here are five affordable lip balms that totally give that Dior energy with subtle tint, juicy hydration, and an overall luxe vibe, but at prices that make sense.

1. Etude House Fixing Tint Bar

This Korean pick is a total game-changer. It feels like a balm but gives a soft wash of colour that lasts longer than you'd expect. The formula is non-sticky, smooth, and gives your lips a healthy tint, much like the Dior Lip Glow does, but without the splurge.

• Why it’s a Dior dupe: Gives that barely-there tinted flush and feels ultra-light.
• Where to buy: Nykaa, Amazon

2. TNW Beetroot Lip Balm

If you’re after that natural pink pout, TNW’s Beetroot Lip Balm is such a good pick. It’s made with all-natural ingredients, feels super nourishing, and leaves a soft pink tint that gets deeper the longer you wear it.

• Why it’s a Dior dupe: The tint adapts slightly to your natural lip colour, giving that personalised glow.
• Where to buy: Amazon, TNW’s official site

3. Lakmé Lip Love Lip Care

This one’s been around for a while, but it still deserves a shoutout. Lakmé’s Lip Love is one of those balms that gives both colour and moisture, and it comes in multiple fun flavours. It doesn’t feel too waxy and adds a glossy finish that’s perfect for no-makeup days.

• Why it’s a Dior dupe: Similar glossy sheen and tint, for under ₹200.
• Where to buy: Local beauty stores, Nykaa, Amazon

4. Plum Candy Melts Vegan Lip Balm

This one is a bit thicker in texture but melts into the lips beautifully. Plus, it smells amazing. The shades like Berry Feast and Red Velvet Love add a slight tint, and it works well both under lipstick or on its own.

• Why it’s a Dior dupe: That cushiony texture and slight tint give it a luxe feel.
• Where to buy: Plum website, Nykaa, Amazon

5. NIVEA Lip Balm in Pomegranate Shine

This one's a classic. It gives a light tint with a juicy shine and feels soft and buttery on the lips. Pomegranate Shine especially gives that perfect everyday red-pink hue that brightens your face instantly.

• Why it’s a Dior dupe: It’s that easy swipe-and-go product that feels luxurious without being heavy.
• Where to buy: Everywhere — pharmacies, online, local stores.

You don’t need to spend a fortune to get that plush, glossy, expensive lip look. These budget buys give serious Dior energy and a nourished pout that looks effortlessly polished. So next time you want a glam lip without splurging, these affordable lip balms have you (and your lips) covered.
