best lip stains

[hugoagogo]

I have a gosh lip stain and I really like it, it tastes nice and is easy to apply, but it doesn't last very well.

Which ones would you recommend?

[Havingkittens]

The best one I've tried is the Hourglass one. It lasts really well, even with lipbalm on top of it. But it's very expensive at £19 and there are only 3 colours.

I use the maybelline 24hour lipstick, comes in a tube with a sponge applicator, with a gloss to go over, it really does stay on all day i never have to reapply

Not so much a stain but Lush (emotional brilliance) lip stuff does not budge
I wake up with pink lips the day after!

[SayMama]

Don't buy the cheapo 17 one, it dries out before you're even finished applying

Don't buy Benetint. It's brilliant for cheeks but awful on lips.

Philosophy do quite a nice one (but maybe only in their Christmas sets?), as do The Body Shop. And I think I saw a Soap and Glory one but might have invented that.

I use Max Factor Lipinfinity. It's ok, but can get a bit dry and peely.

Watches with interest!

the topshop berry stain is as good as pricy ones. Nice authentic rosy colour too

Soap & glory cheek and lipstain from boots, its £8 and will last forever.The colour is beautiful and really natural.

I got given a YSL one, it is truly lovely and lasted all day

[hugoagogo]

Right, I am making notes.

I have seen the soap and glory one, but it looks very red and I prefer a pinky colour.

Keep them coming please.

Posytint? Not tried it but dd1 says it works better than Benetint on lips.

[iamabadger]

Mac prolong wear is good, I have a nice pinky colour called unchanging but they have a few in the range. About £15.

I got the new l'oreal one today, was quite nice & comfortable on the lips. Apparently the trick is to apply thin layers & allow to dry before adding another layer

[nothruroad]

I like Posytint, it goves a lovely natural colour but it does dry my lips out a bit so I always use it with the pink vaseline.

[CrisisOfFaith]

YSL glossy stains are the business. They last through food, wine, kissing, sweat...!

[CharlieBoo]

I have the maybeline one too and I'm impressed...
