Lip stains and tints are on the list of South Korea’s many excellent exports, including sheet masks, and pimple patches.
Some of the most incredible lip stains available today for fuss-free, long-lasting color originate in Seoul.
Several Western cosmetics companies have also developed their own unique takes on the K-beauty standard. For instance, Maybelline New York has a slim crayon that leaves a wash of tinted color, while L’Oréal Paris produces a stain that editors enjoy.
Stains are absorbed into the outer layers of the skin for a longer-lasting effect than lipsticks, which deposit a layer on top of the lips.
A lip mask or a light clear balm will help even the lips’ hydration levels. You can extend the wear time by using a lip liner as a base.
To seal the look, lay a one-ply tissue over your lips and dab a small powder over it.
Expect not a single drop of color to go to your teeth, and post-meal reapplication won’t be a worry with these products, no matter which lip-stain variation you’re into.
