Your lips say a lot both literally and figuratively.
The power of lip color has been utilized for millennia.
We’re also fortunate enough to have a wealth of options to choose from.
Lip stains are specially designed to last all day without fading.
Lip gloss is the best choice for those who want a shiny look that also moisturizes the lips.
Gloss isn’t very durable, however, so it often has to be reapplied throughout the day.
Lip stain, on the other hand, is the marathon runner of lip products.
It absorbs into the skin, so the color doesn’t wipe off easily.
In fact, lip stain has to be taken off with a dedicated makeup remover like micellar water.
Nor do they add the same layer of protection that the wax in lipstick provides.
This effect may be worse in the wintertime too when the moisture in the air is naturally lower.
Likewise, when shopping for a lip stain, always check the ingredients.
Even as the gloss wears off, the stain will continue defining your mouth.
Removing it is also easier than trying to scrub away a whole mouth’s worth of stain.
