I have always hated lip stick so I rarely wear it. I do keep Chap Stick and Burt's Bees lip balm in my car/desk at work. The other day, I had a red snow cone and a few people asked me what lip stain I was wearing. That got me thinking that maybe lip stain is more my style. But what kind should I get? |
Stila makes a good one. I also like Benefit Benetint. I wear one of those and put a shimmery lip balm (usually the Burt's Bees ones) over it. |
None. Just do a barely there lipstick like Chanel Paradis. |
Just bought this & liking it so far ...

I love that stuff but for $6 more you can get Chanel rouge coco shine for a better effect and nicer smell. |
Benetint is made with formaldehyde. The ingredient that concerns me most, or at all, is Quaternium-15. It has a high hazard score of 6 and acts as a formaldehyde releaser. http://turbyandjohn.com/2011/04/11/benefit-cosmetics-benetint-review/ |
What about drugstore stuff? Cover girl, revlon both make versions. Buy it at CVS or Target and if you don't like them, you can return it. |
Not wvwryone wants to wear liptstick, get over it. OP asked for lip stain recommendations. |
Clinique black honey almost lipstick |
I hate the Cover Girl stain. It's really drying and you have to continually add the top coat. The best coverage I've currently found is Maybelline 14 hour lipstick. I also tried Stay Glossy by Rimmel. It lasts longer than most glosses, any may be an alternative if you hate lipstick. |
Try reading more carefully and/or googling before posting. Chanel rouge coco shine isn't lipstick. It's a sheer lip tint/stain. |
I stain my lips by applying drugstore lipsticks in the most intense colors, and then wiping them off. Discovered the trick as a kid when I'd try to sneak Mom's vintage Fire & Ice lipstick, and then couldn't scrub it off. |
Vincent Longo makes a lip/cheek stain that is the real deal. Been using it for over a decade. The color is much more concentrated than drugstore brands or Benetint. |
This. Also Spicy Honey. |
Korres , looks good and feels great. Pomegranate is a nice natural berry color. |
