Back in days lip stains were the real deal breaker, then we were introduced with liquid lipsticks and whole beauty game was changed.
Lip stains were once the only game in town when it came to long-wearing lip colour. The new liquid lipsticks feel lightweight enough to be considered a lip stain, but have the pigment and feel of a creamy classic bullet. But if you’re looking for a lip colour that will last through a long day at work, event night, or whole day, look no further than these nine best lip stains.
Here are the Nine best lip stains:
Power-matte Lip Pigment:
Calling this a “lip pigment” is just a fancy way of saying that once you apply this water-light formula, it won’t budge until you scrape it off with an oil-based remover at the end of the day.
Super-Stay Matte Ink Lip Colour:
One of the best among drug store brands, this lip “ink” comes with a stiff and precise applicator, because once it sets, good luck getting it off. It’s a little drying since it’s matte, but if long-wear is your goal, there’s no better formula for the range of colours and price point.
Dior Addict Lip Tattoo:
The hydrating, water-light consistency is deceiving. Once it dries down, the colour lasts for hours on end. We just wish it came in more than six shades.
Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain:
This classic lip stain leaves behind the cherry-pink flush. Because, well, back in the day it was actually invented to stain not the lips but something else.
Balm Stain:
This lip stain first applies like a balm, but after a few hours, the moisture layer disappears and reveals just the prettiest natural pink shade.
Vinyl Cream Lip Stain:
When the world’s creamiest lipstick and a permanent marker love each other very much, this ultra long-wearing stain is the end result.
Rouge Signature, Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick:
The weightless feel of a stain with the creamy pigment of a lipstick, this new long-wear formula from L’Oréal Paris has quickly become our go-to for special occasions or big work events.
Lip Magnet Liquid Lipstick:
Apply this lipstick in the morning, before breakfast. Don’t look in the mirror again until after lunch. You’ll be shocked to see not just a sheer stain of colour left behind, but a bright, pigmented semi-matte lip with a silky-smooth texture.
Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick:
This formula comes in a bazillion trendy colours, plus wackier ones like blue and black. It has a soft creamy texture but turns out to be matte.
