A natural lip stain is a fresh alternative to lipstick or lip gloss. In fact, this product has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the many companies that have started offering it as a regular part of their lineups.

Give your lips a natural, fresh hue.

Years ago, the old “YLBB” acronym was tossed around between makeup addicts without a second thought. The desire to achieve a look similar to “your lips, but better” was always something of a mission. Even today, finding the perfect shade to enhance the natural lip without bringing too much color to the palette is something many women have trouble with.

Fortunately, it’s not just about seeking out the perfect nude lipstick anymore. Now, “natural” means something much more fresh and radiant than it did previously. Sure, there’s still a time and place for the soft nude lip, but today’s color is a chic, updated hue that brings life to the entire face. It’s vibrant enough to be worn alone, yet isn’t so bright that it dominates a woman’s overall look.

We’re talking about the natural lip stain. Easy to apply, quickly to blend in and so simple to find a complementary match, these stains are a must in any woman’s beauty arsenal.

More Versatile Than You Think!

Just because they’re called lip stains doesn’t mean they can’t be used for anything else. In fact, one of the world’s most popular lip stains, Benefit Benetint, is also renowned for its ability to add a gorgeous flush to the cheeks! Many lip stains are now marketed as “lip/cheek” stains or washes.

If you use your lip stain to enhance your cheekbones, you’ll want to make sure you blend it exceptionally well. Stains do have a tendency to dry and settle in very quickly, so it’s important to blend, blend, and blend immediately upon application.

Who Makes the Best Natural Lip Stain?

Lip stains are so common that there’s now a whole section devoted to them at beauty giants like Sephora. Obviously that means there’s a greater selection than ever before. While one would hope that each has something different to offer, the truth is that there isn’t too much disparity between them. The greatest differences lie in the color selection (although that is limited, as a lip stain is generally a pinkish or reddish flush) and product consistency.
