We'll admit that we find it a tad confusing how brands are touting themselves as lip stains when they more closely resemble the formula of a liquid lipstick, but we're not one to complain when the formula is this long-lasting.
As the OG in lip stains, you know you can't go wrong with Benefit. What's more, with multiple colors to choose from not to mention the ability to apply it to your cheeks, too, the options are truly endless.
Yet another lip stain that treads on the edge of traditional liquid lipstick, this ultra-creamy stain glides on smoothly, albeit thickly, which requires a bit more precision than your typical ultra-thin formula, but the kissable results are well worth it.
This water-resistant cream stain will leave you swooning. Available in eight colors, you can create a long-lasting look ranging from warm nude to cool berry.
You might look at this and consider it to be more of a balm -- we know we did. While the formula and color-payoff is definitely more sheer than some of the other high pigment product options, it's a stain nonetheless. That said, be sure to wash your hands promptly if you don't want to walk around with fingers that appear to be wine-stained.
