Meet The Lip Stain That Promises To Last All Night Long
Created in partnership with SEPHORA
WHY WE LOVE IT
A lip that lasts is worth its weight in gold. Fans of Sephora Collection will likely already be familiar with its iconic Cream Lip Stain. Richly pigmented, but comfortable enough for all-day wear, the formula has been around for over a decade and this year ranked as one of the brand’s bestselling franchises. But thanks to a few considered tweaks, this affordable hero is now even better than before – and it’s vying for a place in your make-up bag.
the FORMULA IS BUILT TO LAST
For make-up fans, there’s little worse than catching sight of yourself in a mirror, only to find that your lipstick has gone rogue. Mattes are renowned for their superior staying power, being less likely to smudge than their satiny counterparts. The improved version of this much-loved stain is now proven to stay put for a full ten hours* – so there’s no need to worry about touch-ups. Loaded with avocado oil to create a soft, creamy consistency, the now-vegan formula dries down quickly into an ultra-pigmented, velvety layer of colour.

IT’S A DREAM TO APPLY
Housed inside the bottle is a spongy doe-foot applicator, tapered for extra precision. First, gently exfoliate the surface of your lips – this is essential for a smooth, uniform finish. Swipe the stain onto your cupid’s bow and then spread it out towards the corners of the mouth. If you’re looking to even out your natural lip line or create the illusion of a fuller pout, pair it with the matching liner.
THERE’S A SHADE TO SUIT EVERY SKIN TONE
Creativity is in Sephora’s DNA – in fact, in 1995 the brand’s founder Dominique Mandonnaud designed 365 different lip shades with the intention of allowing people to switch up their colour every single day. The stain’s 40-strong shade range allows you to enjoy the classics, but also expand your current shade repertoire with the new options. High-impact hues – think pillar box reds and imperial plums – feature heavily, perfect for making a statement. Otherwise, there are plenty of neutrals, cool beiges and cosy browns if you prefer a more muted lip.
THE REVIEW
“I already have the true red shade which genuinely suits everyone, but I’ve just tried ‘Classic Beige’ which is gorgeous. It really does last all day too (I’ve noticed the formula has improved) and it’s actually very comfortable to wear.”
