THE HYPE

Few drugstore brands are as reliable as Maybelline, and its latest launch is another winner. The Teddy Tint Lip Stains are all about effortless colour, blending seamlessly into the lips for a soft-focus, barely there finish. Whether you prefer a light tint or something more intense, the buildable formula makes it easy to customise. Best of all, it’s long-wearing and transfer-resistant, meaning your lip colour stays put from morning coffee to nights out.

THE FORMULA

This new lip product ticks all the boxes – wearable, long-lasting and easy to apply. Unlike traditional stains that can feel dry or tight, this one is cushiony and flexible, adapting to your lips to keep them feeling hydrated and comfortable. A blend of silky powders and film-forming technology ensures a matte yet non-drying finish, while the sheer-but-buildable pigment lets your natural lip colour peek through. Expect a soft, velvety feel with zero stickiness.

THE APPLICATION

The beauty of this product is there are so many ways to wear it. For a barely there finish, swipe once and blend out with your fingertip for a soft, blurred effect. For more intensity, apply an extra layer, focusing on the centre of the lips for a subtle gradient look. Elsewhere, if you want to add definition, pair it with a lip liner in a complementary shade. And finally, for a monochrome make-up look, dab a little onto your cheeks – it melts into the skin for a natural flush.

THE FANS

Make-up artists are already calling this a must-have – not just for its long-wearing formula, but for its soft, wearable finish. It’s no surprise, since the shade range has been carefully designed to complement all skin tones, with several hues, tones and adaptable pigments available that enhance rather than overpower your natural lip colour. Plus, with beauty fans on TikTok raving about its modern matte texture and ‘second skin’ feel, it’s guaranteed to be a bestseller.

THE REVIEW

Sapna Rao, Fashion & Beauty Editor & Broadcaster

“I’ll be honest – I’d written this one off prematurely because most stains and liquid lipsticks I’ve tested have left my lips feeling like a dried-up sponge. But with one swipe of this – a quick buff with my lips (no mirror needed) – I was pleasantly surprised. My lips looked smooth, plump and more defined, all with zero signs of dryness. The real test? I checked in on my front camera midway through my commute, fully expecting it to have flaked or faded – but nope, still intact and looking good. I did notice a slight feeling of tackiness for the first 10 to 15 minutes after application, which had me convinced it was going to peel off or not last long. But once it settled, I was left with a lightweight, long-lasting tint that felt like nothing on my lips.”
