lip stain

Long-lasting color

Lip stain is a cosmetic that colors the lips with a wash of pigment rather than an opaque coating.

Unlike lipstick, which sits on the surface, lip stain absorbs into the skin for a natural, long-lasting tint that won't transfer or smear: I prefer lip stain for all-day wear.

The finish is typically matte and sheer.
