Whether you want a matte or shiny lip look that lasts all day, you will find it in any preferred shade with Sephora's Lip Stain. This versatile product comes in 40 different hues and multiple finishes, so you are sure to find a shade that suits your needs. Read on for help deciding if it's the lip product for you.



What Is This Lip Stain?
Sephora's Cream Lip Stain, $14, is a long-lasting, avocado oil-based lip stain that is intended to keep your lips healthy and looking good. Whether you want a dramatic matte appearance or a shinier look, Sephora offers the lip stain finish for you.

When looking for a good lip stain, you want a product that stays put no matter how busy your day is. Either finish you choose, this product lasts all day. The lip stain stays in place and will not leave residue on your coffee cup or clothes, and it doesn't even come off when you eat.

How Do You Use It?
It might seem creamier or silkier than you would expect for a stain. That's normal for this product. Using a small amount to start with, swipe the color across your lips. You will notice that it quickly starts to set in. Once it is set, it looks exactly like what you want from a lip stain: deep, rich color that will look great for hours.

You only need a little bit of color to start because of the rich hues. A little truly goes a long way with any shade of Sephora's Lip Stain. It will also take you quite effortlessly from day to evening wear without needing to be touched up. If you tend to have dry skin or lips or you live in a particularly dry climate, a lip primer can help you retain moisture without feeling dried out while still retaining that flawless matte finish. A bit of non-shiny lip balm on top of the color can also help.

Try Sephora Collection Lip Balm, $6, which comes in a refreshing almond flavor.

Sephora Collection Super Nourishing Lip Balm, $4, will give your lips a moisture boost without leaving any color.

What Are the Color Options?
There is a shade of Sephora's Lip Stain for everyone. Pink Souffle is a lighter pink shade that works on fairer skin. Classic Red comes in a bold, matte finish that is striking on almost everyone, and it is one of the most popular shades. One user reported that it is the shade of red she had been searching for her whole life. Sweet Raspberry and Coral Crush are also very popular hues and look good on a wide variety of skin tones.

If you want an affordable, high-quality matte lip stain, then Sephora's Lip Stain is worth giving a try. Very few reviewers have been disappointed.
