Details
Amour Fou [ah-more foo] – crazy love: a soft crimson whisper of color.
A sheer matte lipstick-meets-hydrating balm that delivers the iconic Bouche Mordue—or “just-bitten lips”—look in one step. The unique, moisturizing formula blends seamlessly into lips, diffusing color for a soft-focus, blurred finish that feels effortlessly French. Swipe once for a natural flush, or layer to build color payoff. Formulated with smoothing emollients, soft-focus powders, and botanical Lapacho Tree Extract, Bisou Balm helps hydrate lips while minimizing the appearance of fine lines. The result: sheer, buildable color with a soft-focus blur—like you’ve just been kissed.
Violette's Inspiration: “In France, after the red lipstick, our favorite lip look is called 'bouche mordue' (just-bitten lips). To achieve it, we apply lip balm, add a touch of lipstick, and then kiss a tissue to remove excess shine, so it looks more like our natural lips. Bisou Balm leaves behind *just* the right amount of pigment and comes in the most delicious colors, inspired by the traditional French candies of my childhood."
0.08oz / 2.5g
Recommended use
Swipe Bisou Balm onto bare lips, applying just beyond the natural lip line. Layer up to three coats depending on the desired pigment.
For very dry lips, moisturize before applying.

Mixed feelings!
"First of all I had great expectations about this product! I like the shade but I am not mad about it, I like also the fact that is buildable, on the other side the formula must be improved, especially considering the price range! Once applied It feels uncomfortable like it dries my lips and on top is not long lasting! Ps I have dry lips and I prep them with hyaluronic acid serum and Vaseline regardless once I apply the lipstick the uncomfortable feeling begins 🥹"
Bisou Balm Betise
"I loved this balm that I have placed a new order in a different shade and also trying out the Figue lip jelly. What I love about the lip balm is the sense of having a structured lipstick but not the feeling of heavy make up. The shade is beautiful and subtle and the blur effect makes it so easy to weary Love it"
An excellent product!!
"It gives you exactly what it promises. . . that "kissed -lip" look. Velvety texture, volume, color, sexiness. I don't like balms but I love this one!!"
Bisou balm (I’ve purchased 3 shades with my money at the time of writing)
"Really excellent product. I have switched more or less to the Bisou Balm formula for my lipsticks now. It isn’t drying and works well if you dab a little bit of balm and then dab off the excess of the balm before applying this. Lasts a long time and you don’t necessarily need to touch up after eating if you’ve eaten carefully. I touch up because I am liberal with my products and like to use them. Smells like vanilla biscuits. Formula is very light weight and gives you the perfect cloud lips. Works well with lip liner/lip contour. Just a little on the pricier end."
Une belle découverte
"Ce baume répond à toutes mes attentes. Les rouges à lèvres mat ont tendance à assécher les lèvres mais ce n'est pas le cas de celui-ci. Il est hydratant, pas trop couvrant et tient dans le temps. Et la couleur ! Quelle merveille que ce bonbon coquelicot qui donne bonne mine et illumine le visage ! Merci Violette !"
Sheer and easy to layer for a more rich color
"Hello, Violette I am loving all of your products thus far. This particular lip balm I have in several colors, all of them are sheer and easy to layer and that is a wonderful attribute for a balm. The colors are easy to wear with almost everything. I look forward to seeing more of your line in Sephora stores."
