As temperatures continue to exceed soar, the best lip stains will serve you far better than a traditional lipstick. A lip stain promises to stay put through iced coffees, meals and long days in the sun, leaving behind a natural-looking wash of colour long after other formulas have faded.
Unlike a lip gloss, which prioritise shine over longevity, lip stains are designed to tint the lips themselves, meaning the colour remains even once the top layer of product has worn away. Pair one with your favourite lip liner and you've got yourself a low-maintenance combination that can last from your morning commute through to evening drinks with zero faff.
