Choosing which one is right for you might simply be a matter of shopping around. Here, we highlight the best of the best; those that have stood the test of time, made a remarkable impression and made women look supermodel-fresh day in and day out!

* Benefit Benetint: Probably the one product that truly fueled the lip stain obsession, Benetint is an industry classic. Its liquid consistency and light rose scent make it unique, but its lasting color is what keeps people coming back time and again.

* Stila Lip and Cheek Stain:
This water-based fluid stain is available in seven diverse colors, ranging from My Sunshine (a warm red) to Baby Boo (a fresh raspberry-pink).

* Tarte Rise & Shine Plumping Lip
Stain: This ingenious product pairs a lip stain (in your choice of four colors) on one end with a plumping lip gloss on the other end. Ideal when you’re in a hurry and can’t commit to doing a full face of makeup, this instantly brightens you up!

* Stila Raspberry Crush Lip & Cheek Stain: Despite its trendy nature, Stila easily churns out some of the most classic colors out there. Lip & Cheek Stain is available in three shades (pink, berry and bronze) and hydrates the lips with its water-rich, gel-based formula.

You’ll notice when applying your lip stain that the product is not moisturizing. They dry quickly (hence the stain they leave behind), so if you are concerned about parched lips, you’ll want to moisturize beforehand. A good idea is to swipe on your lip balm of choice 15 or 20 minutes prior to applying the stain. This will allow your moisturizer to sink in, and it won’t be as sticky – which will in
turn allow your lip stain to adhere beautifully to your lips!
