Oh, absolutely, they should. My expectations at present is that all lip products should be moderately hydrating, but not unsurprisingly, there is a compromise between length of wear, texture, and hydration. I think lip balm should do more and provide longer-lasting, more permanent results, but your lipstick and lipgloss should hydrate your lips enough that they never feel worse for the wear.
