For a Lipstick-Like Effect

The liquid-mousse formula of this stain quickly dries to a semi-matte finish, leaving no stickiness behind. If you're looking for something rich and pigmented -- but still blendable -- this is the one for you.

A Slight Stain
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks, $26

Don't be afraid of how pigmented this little multi-tasker is in the packaging: It easily blends out and gives skin a sheer, dewy glow. The creamy formula leaves behind a hint of stain, so whether you dab it on your lips or cheeks, you can count on long-lasting wear.

A One-Shade Wonder
Tory Burch Cat's Meow Lip & Cheek Tint, $38

This rosy pink blush/lip stain hybrid from Tory Burch's makeup line mimics a natural flush and works on a variety of skin tones. It goes on sheer for a light wash of color and has a dewy finish that doesn't look sticky or greasy.

There's no better harbinger of spring-ready skin than flushed cheeks and just-bitten lips. But as the weather heats up, even the most perfectly applied blush and lipstick can start cruising down your face. These new multi-tasking lip and cheek colors pack a punch in the pigment department, blend easily and impart a long-lasting flush. But here's the kicker: In this new crop of lip and cheek tints, you'll find a few that give your skin that classic luminous, dewy glow, but if you're looking for something with a little less shine, check out the new formulations with a mattified satin finish.
