To achieve a gorgeous and natural flush, start by exfoliating your lips. Unlike traditional lipsticks, a lip stain works best on a smooth surface, so gently remove dry lips with a scrub or a soft toothbrush. Follow up with a hydrating lip balm containing hyaluronic acid to keep your pout moisturized. This step helps prevent feathering and peeling, ensuring long-lasting color.

Choosing the right lip stain formula

Lip stains come in various formulas, from water-based to matte and even gloss-infused options. If you prefer a bold lip color, choose deep shades, while light pink tones give a more subtle effect. Many lip stains are vegan and cruelty-free, making them a great switch from other lip products.

Applying lip stain for maximum wear

For best results, apply a thin coat of lip stain, starting at the center of your lips and blending outward. Layer the stain to intensify the color, letting each top layer dry completely before adding more. If you want a more defined pout, use a lip liner that complements your shade.

Sealing the color for long-lasting wear

To make your lip stain last for hours without worry, lightly blot your lips with a tissue. For extra hold, apply a touch of lip gloss or balm on top. Unlike lipstick, lip stains promise minimal transfer, so you can drink and even kiss without the color fading too quickly.

How to remove lip stain

Since lip stains are designed to last long, removing them requires more than just water. Pick an oil-based makeup remover to break down the stain completely. A good alternative is a balm cleanser that nourishes while helping to remove stubborn lip color.

Why choose lip stain over traditional lipsticks?

A lip stain gives a lightweight feel, unlike heavy lipstick, and offers a stunning, natural look. With its ability to create a fade-resistant effect, it’s perfect for both morning wear and night outings. Plus, many lip stains come at an affordable price, making them a great addition to your makeup bag.
