Long-Lasting Water Lip Stains & Tints

What is lip stain?

Lip stain is a lightweight, long-wearing product that adds a splash of color to your lips. Unlike traditional lipsticks or glosses, lip stains have a water⁠-based formula that absorbs quickly, leaving behind a sheer or buildable tint. The best part? Lip stains, like Clarins Lip Stain, offer smudge⁠-proof, transfer⁠-resistant color that stays put for hours⁠—perfect for a low⁠-maintenance look that won’t require constant touch⁠-⁠ups.

What are the best lip stain colors?

Clarins’ long wearing lip stain offers many looks in a single product⁠—and you get to customize the result you’re after. From a just⁠-kissed look to match nude makeup, to high voltage color for special occasion makeup. The more coats you apply, the deeper the color intensity!

Your best lip stain tint will be a deeper version of your closest skin tone color⁠—you have rose, nude, violet, and red lip stains to choose from.

How to use lip stain

Here is how to apply lip stain properly to give your lips long-lasting intense color and instant comfort:

1. 1. Start by applying to the center of your lips using the brush.
2. 2. Now define the lip contours, then experiment with the color.
3. 3. Apply one coat of matte lip stain for a barely⁠-there look or add another coat to deepen to your perfect intensity.
4. 4. To complement a more dramatic makeup palette, wear a high gloss lip stain and turn up the sparkle!

How to remove lip stain

An oil-based cleanser like Clarins Total Cleansing Oil makes it easy to break down the long⁠-lasting formula of Water Lip Stain. Follow your cleansing product’s instructions for more specific steps.

Does lip stain have benefits for your lips? Clarins’ lip stain ingredients:

Each lip stain is formulated with all the benefits of a lip treatment. Enriched with Raspberry water and Aloe Vera, lips are visibly soft, hydrated, and incredibly comfortable, while Clarins' exclusive Anti⁠-Pollution Complex gives your pout a fighting chance against the effects of environmental damage.

You’ll be pleased to know your long⁠-wearing lip stain is stray⁠-proof, smooch⁠-proof, and fade⁠-proof⁠—and lasts for 300 kisses![1] This makes transfer⁠-proof lip stain your go⁠-⁠to color for confident wear.

Does lip stain hydrate your lips?

Clarins’ Water Lip Stain has moisturizing properties that leave your lips visibly softened and hydrated. Provide your lips with deeply intense color and comfort as soon as you apply it.

How long does lip stain last?

A good lip stain, like Clarins Lip Stain, can last up to 24 hours or 300 kisses. Lip stains are designed to provide long⁠-lasting color that won’t smudge or transfer easily, making them perfect for busy days or special occasions. For the longest wear, apply to clean, dry lips and let the stain set before adding a gloss or adding another layer or two. You’ll enjoy a fresh pop of color without frequent touch⁠-ups!

How does lip stain work?

Lip stain works by depositing a sheer layer of color that adheres to the lips, creating a long⁠-lasting tint. Unlike traditional lipsticks, lip stains use lightweight, water⁠-based formulas that absorb quickly into the skin, providing a smudge⁠-proof finish. Clarins Lip Stain, for example, uses plant⁠-based ingredients to keep lips feeling soft and comfortable while delivering vibrant, buildable color.
