Traditionally stains came in drier matte or satin finishes but new formulations can be glossy, too. Choosing a finish really depends on your comfort level (can you handle a drier pout or will you be happier with a little hydration?) and the look you’re going for. Applicator Between shade range, finish and applicator type, there are several factors to consider in a lip stain. Here’s what to keep in mind. Hydrating Ingredients Why we love it: Looking for a matte lip stain with true staying power? We've got you.
