Frequently Asked Questions

How to apply lip stain

Before you apply lip stain, keep these tips in mind. Especially if you have dry lips, “a lip mask or light, clear lip balm will help even out your lips’ hydration levels, prepping them for a more even application,” makeup artist Andrea Claire says. She also recommends using a lip liner as a base, which helps extend the stain’s wear time.

Once you’re ready to apply your lip stain of choice, Claire recommends drawing a “V” at the bow and outer corners of your lips and a “U” towards the bottom. Then, connect the dots, fill in the lips, and voíla. For a natural-looking finish, makeup artist Genevieve Garner advises tapping the product directly onto your lips using your fingers. For a more saturated look, Claire recommends applying the stain straight from the tube.

To seal the deal, both Claire and Garner suggest laying a one-ply tissue over your lips before dabbing a small amount of translucent powder on top.

How we test and review products

Before reviewing any makeup, we ask questions about a number of factors: What ingredients are in it? Does the brand offer a wide shade range inclusive of consumers with all skin tones and undertones? Is it safe for readers who have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses? Is it on the affordable side or more of a splurge? Is its packaging consciously designed or needlessly wasteful?
