The Lip Stains We Love For Lasting Colour
Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour
£21 | Lisa Eldridge
Like a gloss and balm combined but with the longevity of a stain, this formula has a soft, matte dry down that comes with a blurred, romantic effect. Like all Lisa Eldridge lip products, there are endless shades to choose from. We love ‘Blush’ for its rosy, natural finish, while ‘Jazz’ is the ultimate burgundy.

Splashtint Moisturizing Dewy Lip Tint
£22.50 | Benefit Cosmetics
As the name suggests, these give lips a dewy, fresh tint that is glossier than others on this list. Lightweight, and with a whipped, velvet texture, they glide on easily with no mirror required and never feel heavy or sticky. Both the shine and colour last for a good few hours, transforming into a muted wash that’s perfect for those who prefer a subtle, natural effect rather than intense, rich pigments.

Powermatte Lip Pigment
£28 | NARS Cosmetics
Make-up artists swear by these lip pigments – and for good reason. Often used for photoshoots, the comfortable, liquid formula glides on nicely and sets for hours without drying out. Extra points go to the precise applicator, which makes it super easy to apply.

Dior Addict Lip Tint
£28.05 (was £33) | Dior
Despite its long-lasting formula, these tints have a bouncy, satin texture that really plumps the lips. As they wear on throughout the day or night, you’ll find the colour melts into your lips and stays put as a soft wash, even after eating. You can easily refresh them throughout the day with a little balm or gloss on top. We love the cooling, tingling sensation on application too.

Bitten Lip Tint
£37 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
Full of hyaluronic acid and nourishing squalane, these lips tints do so much more than deliver long-lasting colour. Visibly plumping the lips, they hydrate and never cause any stickiness, so you can dab a little onto cheeks for extra colour too. The shades themselves are sheer, but the healthy flush suits all skin tones and goes the distance.

Lip Ink Pen Lip Stain Felted Flush
£7.99 (was £9.99) | Rimmel London
Like a giant marker pen, these new launches from Rimmel are fun, affordable and effective. You can scribble them on with ease, lining both the outer and inner lip. They have a bit of wiggle room before drying down, meaning you can smudge and perfect them to get the result you’re after. There are lots of universally flattering shades to choose from, including a rich red that’s perfect for nights out.

Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain
£21 | Fenty Beauty
Ingredients like squalane and glycerine cushion lips with lasting hydration in Fenty’s stains. It will stay put for hours, but with a little effort needed to remove it at the end of the day. Whether you wear it alone or layered under another lipstick, you’ll love how flattering and forgiving the formula is. ‘Mai Type’ is particularly popular thanks to its suits-all undertones.
