Matte Lip Stain
Using matte lip stain is an easy way to add color to your pout without necessarily doing so in an obvious way. CVS has multiple matte lip stain options, so you can find your perfect shade.
What Is a Matte Lip Stain?
Typically, a stain isn’t considered a good thing, but in this case it can be. A matte lip stain is exactly what it sounds like: a lip makeup that makes your lips appear as if they’re stained with a pretty matte color. They essentially are since the product absorbs into the skin. It’s this staining effect that also tends to make lip stains last through daily actions, such as drinking through a straw or wearing a face mask, where a range of other lip products might easily come off in the process.
How To Apply Matte Lip Stain
Other than the aforementioned tip about using a hydrating lip balm, such as Burt’s Bees 100% natural moisturizing lip balm or ChapStick Classic Original skin protectant lip balm, a few other tips can help you apply the best matte lip stain. First, avoid trying on a liquid matte lip stain shade you’ve never used before if you're going out within the next several hours, especially if it’s somewhere important. “Stain” is the operative word. If you feel like the shade you chose doesn’t look great on you, you might have a difficult time removing it or covering it up. Also, go easy during the application process. The purpose of a lip stain is to offer sheer — not assertive — hues, and applying too much may end up getting on the skin around your lips. Lastly, do a 24-hour patch test before using a newly purchased matte lip stain to ensure you don't have an allergic reaction to its ingredients.
What is Matte Lip Stain Versus Matte Lipstick?
A lip stain, which is usually water-based, absorbs into the lips, while wax- and oil-based lipstick sits on top. Another difference between the two is that the former tends to have a drying effect, which is why it can be great to pair with a hydrating lip balm. Matte lip stains offer a relatively sheer hue in limited shades that often results in a natural look, while lipsticks can run the gamut of shades in more dynamic, obvious colors. Throughout the day, you’ll typically find yourself having to reapply lipstick, while the lip stain tends to stay put for hours, making the latter a great transfer-proof option for those who want color without constantly reapplying.
