We have heard of a lipstick, a lip gloss, and even a lip balm. But now thereâ€™s an even more exciting addition to the world of makeup - lip stains & tints. A great new addition to face makeup, this is long-lasting color for the lips. Typically found in a liquid or gel form, it is applied to the lips using an applicator wand or brush.

A lip tint gives a natural-looking, sheer color to the lips that is subtle and appears to be a stain rather than a heavily pigmented lipstick. The lightweight feel and long-lasting feel make it perfect for frequent reapplication. One can enjoy colors like subtle pinks and nudes to more vibrant reds and berry tones.

Â

The best lip tints or lip stains are loved because they are:

1.Long-lasting:

The stain formula adheres to the lips and creates a lasting tint that can withstand eating, drinking, and other activities. It is perfect to wear for events or situations where frequent touch-ups may be inconvenient or not possible.

Â

2.Natural and sheer look:

The best lip tint gives a very natural and sheer look to the lips. The flush of color in a lip tint is undeniably charming. A little dab dab on the foundation and it looks perfect on occasions like brunch, a light movie date, beach day out.

Â

3.Lightweight Feel:

The best lip stains feel like a feather on the lips. They are thin and comfortable, easy to apply, and have a non-sticky finish. This lightweight feel is often preferred by individuals who dislike the heavy or thick sensation that some lipsticks or lip glosses can have.

Â

4.Versatility:

One can choose a variety of lip stains & tints. From natural nudes to bold and vibrant colors - the cosmetics are great for a subtle everyday look or a more dramatic statement lip. They can also be mixed with other products, such as lip balms or glosses, to create custom shades and finishes.

Â

5.Minimal transfer:

They do not get transferred onto cups or clothing. Once the lip stain has dried and set, it tends to adhere to the lips and resist transferring onto surfaces. One can use a little bit of loose powder to seal the deal well.
